Historic Asheville Sessions Project
2024-08-15 17:00 - 19:00 | Citizen Vinyl, 14 O'Henry Ave, Asheville, NC, 28801, United States
The Blue Ridge Music Center and North Carolina Arts Foundation will host an information session about the Historic Asheville Sessions project from 5 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 15, at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville.
Historic Asheville Sessions Project Information Session
When: 5 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 15
Where: Citizen Vinyl, 14 O’Henry Ave., Asheville, N.C.
Admission: Free
Additional information: BlueRidgeMusicCenter.org
The public is invited to learn about the project, which presents, interprets, and celebrates recordings made by OKeh General Phonograph Corporation in the summer of 1925 in Western North Carolina. These sessions were the first performances of traditional music from the Southern Appalachians to be documented for commercial sale to a broader American audience. This event accelerated the evolution of American vernacular and homemade music into the emerging genre of country music, which is now known around the globe. Despite its historical importance, the OKeh recordings made in Asheville have never been reissued and the impacts of these sessions have never been publicly explored and presented. In fact, few North Carolinians are aware of this event of international significance.
The information session will feature presentations about the project and the significance of the sessions by Ted Olson and Wayne Martin. Guests will also hear a sampling of the songs recorded during the sessions.

Carpenter / Cohen + Sounding Arrow
2024-08-17 20:00 - 23:00 | Citizen Vinyl, 14 O'Henry Ave, Asheville, NC, 28801, United States
Carpenter / Cohen + Sounding Arrow play the Citizen Vinyl stage on Saturday, August 17. Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. $15 advance / $18 at the door.
Joshua Carpenter and Finn Cohen first met in the early 2000s, when their respective bands — Piedmont Charisma and The White Octave — crossed paths in Asheville, NC. A few years later, Carpenter joined The Nein, a band that Cohen had founded. Then Cohen moved to Russia for several years, and Carpenter began releasing solo records while also touring with Floating Action and the Detroit legend Rodriguez. In 2022, after years of flirting with the idea, Carpenter and Cohen agreed to start writing together again. They traded voice memos and home demos between four different recording/mixing sessions at the homes of generous friends across the state of North Carolina. Their self-titled debut was released June 28, 2024.
Sounding Arrow is the musical project by recording artist Scott Kinnebrew. The debut record Loving Is Breathing, released in September 2017, is a call to life, love and the spirit of compassion. While sitting comfortably in the contemporary Indie Folk genre, there is a patina to Sounding Arrow’s sound that’s indicative of earlier musical influences. Since moving back to Asheville, NC, from LA in 2020, Kinnebrew began playing them again, having found a group of musicians that shared the right chemistry. Production on a new record is slated to begin in 2024.

Breathwork & Sound Bath
2024-08-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Happy Body, 1378 Hendersonville Rd, Asheville, 28803, United States
Get ready for a transformational experience – one that’s sure to supercharge your wellbeing by:
• providing clarity and connectedness with the world around us
• releasing stress/emotional/trauma responses
• creating higher states of bliss
• boosting the immune system
Join Michele Schalin, a Mental Fitness Coach and Author of “Mindful Metamorphosis: A Compassionate Guide to Inner Transformation, for Breathwork and Sound Bath Experience.
Experience the power of somatic healing with sound vibrational frequencies paired with a technique called holotropic breathwork originally created for trauma healing in 1974. Both holotropic breathwork and the sound frequencies of crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes calm the nervous system and clear and revitalize your body’s energetic system.
These techniques release stagnant energy in your body that can contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, physical pain, and illness. Because you are in a deep meditative state during this workshop and in your theta brain frequency, you can also use it for manifestation – healing the body physically and get insights on questions you have in your life. The workshop will also give you a massive boost to the immune system while the body rests in the parasympathetic system for the majority of the workshop.
