Asheville music lovers are still abuzz over the recent POPAsheville festival and local music will also be the focus of the upcoming Music Video Asheville event on Wednesday, February 6th at Cinebarre Theatres at the Biltmore Square Mall.

Be sure and read Alli Marshall's recent article on Music Video Asheville at the Mountain Xpress website.

Here's an excerpt from Alli's article to whet your appetite:

 “Independent bands have a hard time getting clout,” says Victoria Karol, who’s organizing the first Music Video Asheville event (in addition to her work handling publicity for local pop group SeepeopleS and managing new movie-and-dining venue Cinebarre).

“We have to break people to the idea that even if they’re not familiar with a band’s name and they haven’t heard it a thousand times, it’s still worth seeing,” Karol says. “This is a big two-and-a-half hour advertisement for independent music in Asheville.”

The showcase is presented by networking organization Future of Asheville Music, or FoAM. FoAM got its start about a year ago with a series of meetings attended by a revolving cast of local music makers and supporters.
