MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR:

What began as the flu ended up as pneumonia and I've been pretty much out of commission since the middle of February. My apologies for the lack of new content on the site and for the delays in responding to emails the past week or so.  My health is much improved and I will be adding new content and catching up on emails in the days to come.  

The Asheville Music Scene website is now two months old and growing fast.   In spite of a few technical glitches and the health battles of the site editor,  the website has received an overwhelmingly positive response.  It appear that folks are truly interested in reading about local music and local musicians and hungry for even more content.

The Asheville Music Scene website is poised to embark on the next phase of it's growth.  Thus far, the content on the Asheville Music Scene website has depended on the efforts of a single editor. Even before my recent health issues, it was a challenge for one person to keep pace with the volume of local music news.  But that's about to change.  As the website begins it's third month,  we are now actively soliciting articles, reviews, guest editorials, and other content from the community. I'll be sharing additional information about this new phase in life of the Asheville Music Scene website in the days to come. 

Thanks again for all the great feedback concerning The Asheville Music Scene website. Our primary mission is to support the local musicians and music related entities in the Asheville area by serving as a news and information hub. 

We encourage you to support live local music by going out to hear local bands as often as possible.
