White Horse Black Mountain Live Stream Music
May 31 all-day
Online

Are you as tired as I am of hearing about viruses, social distancing, face masks and the like? Unfortunately, I’m forced to the reality that we’re going to be dealing with this thing for a while. It’s a real menace we ignore at our own peril. So…what’s a live music venue to do?
Well, to begin with, it’s a self-answering question. White Horse, as a listening venue with audience, is closed for at least a little while longer. We miss it terribly.
Our answer has been the high quality live stream, White Horse Live. Not that we’re the only ones streaming, far from it. But our endeavor is to up the quality ante as much as we can. Clear sound, professional grade picture, five camera shots and a truly personal look at some of White Horse’s favorite artists.
In the process I think we’ve discovered something. Live streaming is really its own sub-genre of entertainment. Nothing else is quite like it, especially if the quality envelope is constantly being pushed. They’re incredibly musical. The viewer learns more about the artists since a stream is often more revealing. And I think one tends to go away with more insight into what’s been in the artist’s process, his or her heart. Not to mention you can take all this in on your couch.
We look forward to getting back in to the live-with-audience groove but we’re very happy indeed to have discovered for ourselves the intimacy and musicality of the stream. In fact, we plan to keep doing them even when we’re able to return to business as usual (you notice I avoided the  work “normal”). And who knows what may transpire in the stream department? We have ideas.

WHAT IS CAT FLY?

Cat Fly is an Asheville-based, non-profit film festival that highlights and supports up-and-coming indie filmmakers of the Southeast. Since 2017 we have cultivated a spirited & inclusive collective of homegrown filmmakers.

In the light of COVID-19, we have pivoted our festival to an online platform. Join us for our three day event of screenings, performances, special guests and surprises celebrating our dynamic community of talented & passionate future collaborators.

White Horse Black Mountain Live Stream Music
Jun 4 all-day

Are you as tired as I am of hearing about viruses, social distancing, face masks and the like? Unfortunately, I’m forced to the reality that we’re going to be dealing with this thing for a while. It’s a real menace we ignore at our own peril. So…what’s a live music venue to do?
Well, to begin with, it’s a self-answering question. White Horse, as a listening venue with audience, is closed for at least a little while longer. We miss it terribly.
Our answer has been the high quality live stream, White Horse Live. Not that we’re the only ones streaming, far from it. But our endeavor is to up the quality ante as much as we can. Clear sound, professional grade picture, five camera shots and a truly personal look at some of White Horse’s favorite artists.
In the process I think we’ve discovered something. Live streaming is really its own sub-genre of entertainment. Nothing else is quite like it, especially if the quality envelope is constantly being pushed. They’re incredibly musical. The viewer learns more about the artists since a stream is often more revealing. And I think one tends to go away with more insight into what’s been in the artist’s process, his or her heart. Not to mention you can take all this in on your couch.
We look forward to getting back in to the live-with-audience groove but we’re very happy indeed to have discovered for ourselves the intimacy and musicality of the stream. In fact, we plan to keep doing them even when we’re able to return to business as usual (you notice I avoided the  work “normal”). And who knows what may transpire in the stream department? We have ideas.
