POPAsheville

POPAsheville is a weekend-long 30+ band indie pop music festival held at multiple centralized locations in Asheville, NC. Event locations include 3 prominent indoor music venues (The Grey Eagle, The Rocket Club, and Stella Blue), recording studios, and popular restaurants/bars. POPAsheville offers a unique entertainment shuttle bus on music performance evenings, hosts workshops, tours, and parties, and provides a well-rounded indie pop/rock experience for both musicians and music fans, all included in one wristband admission price.

POPAsheville is an original. Recently voted among Top Shows of 2008 in Mountain Xpress "Best Of" Poll (tied with the ever-popular Warren Haynes Christmas Jam), POPA pioneered the venue-based music festival trend in the musically-rich city of Asheville, NC. Over the last three years, POPA has grown from a modestly attended, 5-band evening (then called IdFest) to a ravaging feast of creative pop/rock. POP ‘A’ supported a very nearly sold out crowd in 2008; the festival expects a 2009 draw of nearly 1200 music fans, musicians, and industry reps.

POPAsheville supports a thriving scene for modern touring bands and recognizes the importance of community and information-sharing within this scene and within the surrounding region. In the midst of a highly transitional music industry, POPAsheville seeks to bolster partnerships between touring bands and to amplify Asheville's presence on the national modern music map.

POPAsheville

POPAsheville is organized by a committee of music-minded individuals taking up space no larger than Stephanie Morgan (the Director)'s living room.  This group comes together to plan and produce this annual event, and does not exist as an organization outside of this pursuit.

Stephanie is the lead singer for Asheville-based noir-pop band stephaniesĭd (www.stephaniesid.com).
