“Bring Back The Heartbeat”
May 13 all-day

Asheville’s music scene is born of age-old traditions, nurtured by a spirit of independence and the muse of the mountain landscape. Here you’ll find our rhythm is proudly rooted in old-time mountain music, but it’s our full spectrum of innovative musicians who truly define our sound. Asheville offers a lively, and perhaps unexpected, experience for the musically-minded traveler.

Through the Bring Back the Heartbeat campaign, IamAVL is partnering with local venues and establishments to offset their costs to get our musicians back to work. Independent Arts and Music is a 501(c)3, so donations can be tax deductible. iamavl.com/music-industry-relief-fund

Our mission is to provide a platform to help expand the reach of Asheville based musicians and artists, to make some great music and art, and to have a great time while doing it.
