The Asheville Shellac Bash is a unique gathering of 78 RPM record collectors, discographers, and researchers. On the evenings of May 3rd (The Mothlight) & May 4th (Ambrose West), we will be featuring listening sessions of rare and seldom heard, original 78 RPM records, from the USA and abroad, along with expert discussion, and live music. The event’s primary goal is to provide an opportunity for fellowship among those who have helped to preserve and share this vast arena of the world’s greatest vernacular recordings of the Pre-WW2 era. Interspersed between listening to 78’s there will be short sets of live music.
