In the News…

Well-respected music writer Bill Kopp, author of Reinventing Pink Floyd, wrote this article for Asheville’s Arts & Entertainment magazine Mountain Xpress.  The full article appears here.   For many Asheville-based musicians, making music is just one of the things they do.

The last notes linger until they fade, and a long […]
