Six weeks ago, someone broke the lock off Saint Solitude's Asheville practice space. By the time guitarist, songwriter and founding member Dup Crosson returned, approximately $5,000 of his gear was gone. Thanks to Dupfest—a benefit in the mountains to help Crosson close the gap between his insurance payout and the actual value of his lost gear—he may be playing an actual replacement for his beloved stolen Telecaster rather than a loaner by the time he gets to Durham. Yet even as he recoups bits of gear, time will tell whether the restless Crosson is running on borrowed optimism. Tonight, Saint Solitude's introverted Corgan-worship shares a bill with Durham's Wigg Report, a triumphantly rollicking trio bound to afford anyone a little gusto. —Corbie Hill
