    Travel Resources and Links:

    The Asheville area is a regional hotspot for live music, and includes a number of notable performers, venues and studios. Various styles of music are common to the area, including bluegrass/old-time, singer/songwriter, goth-metal, indie rock, hip-hop, trance, jazz, folk, classical, and traditional acoustic. A fusion of these sounds is one characteristic of the local music scene, perhaps caused by a deeply intertwined musical community.

    Likewise, Asheville has an abundance of so-called "novelty" acts, which tend to be as much theatrical as musical. Open jam sessions, particularly of bluegrass and old-time music, are commonplace. Of course, it would all be meaningless without some place to perform.

    Clubs and performance spaces include The Orange Peel, Stella Blue, Emerald Lounge, Broadways, Barley's, The Grey Eagle, Tressa's, Westville Pub, Bobo Gallery, Joli Rouge, Fred's Speakeasy and Gourmet Perks, but many other locations also serve as part-time venues. There are also a number of outdoor festivals, such as Bele Chere and the Lexington Avenue Arts & Fun Festival, which prominately feature local music.
