Enjoy original local Asheville music anywhere.
We recently put out a “call for musicians” to create a compilation that is Asheville. We were blown away by the response and the talent in this town! And with COVID-19 putting a temporary halt to live music, now is the perfect time to begin sharing this playlist for you to enjoy from the safety of your own couch. While you’ll likely recognize some of these artists, there are many new ones that you’ll love to discover.
We’ll be adding new local music to our Spotify playlist every week for your enjoyment.
Yep, that means fresh local music. Free access all the time! Coming soon additional songs by The Styrofoam Turtles, Hope Griffin, Bombassic, Via and more!
Check out the first 10 songs on our playlist on Spotify, and tell us which local artist you dig the most! Stay tuned…

I usually avoid public celebrations of my birthday, but this time it seems like something different is appropriate. If you were planning on catching any of my shows that got cancelled, here’s a raincheck opportunity. If you haven’t seen me play before, now’s your chance. If you have seen me play, there will probably be something new… probably improvised and a little noisy, but whatever it’s my birthday and I’ll do what I want. It’s a free show, and it’s not like you have plans to be anywhere else besides using social media as a substitute for actual social interaction… humor me, tune in and help me celebrate the beginning of my fourth decade.
