The dB's

The Scoop

Eulogy Presents: The dB's Friday, September 20th, 2024 Eulogy - 10 Buxton Ave. Asheville, NC 28801 Doors 7PM || Show 8PM The dB's The dB’s are composed of two singer/songwriter/guitarists, Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey; along with Gene Holder, bass; and Will Rigby, drums – although everyone in the band played everything at one time or another. The foursome emanated from Winston-Salem, N.C., and helped define not only the rich North Carolina indie-rock scene of the ‘80s, but helped lay the groundwork for the likes of fellow southeasterners R.E.M. They were also cornerstones of a scene which also featured Sneakers – almost a precursor to The dB’s with Chris Stamey and Will Rigby, with appearances by Mitch Easter who’d later form Let’s Active. Other pillars of the region’s scene at that time included Don Dixon, Dexter Romweber and Flat Duo Jets, and more. It should be noted that The dB’s also called New York home for a while, frequently appearing at CBGB, Maxwell’s and other influential venues.
