Asheville tourism officials this spring will begin promoting the city as a music destination, and it all starts with a party Wednesday at The Isis Music Hall in West Asheville.
The party will serve as a kick-off for a section of the Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau’s website, exploreasheville.com. The new music-centric site will include a slideshow of local venues, a music calendar, the ability to live stream concerts via @iamavl and an online radio station featuring a local playlist.
A new music publishing company called Asheville Commercial Music Enterprise will license work and pay musicians for their work.
Here are the details. Go here to sign up to attend.
