To call Asheville artistically inclined, unless you’re a visitor, is a bit of an “is water wet” scenario. Our paint bucket runneth over. The same is so for music (possibly more so). It’s difficult when all of these artists have to pick their favorite artists. Fortunately there are plenty of fans and admirers among us — or some humble practitioners who prefer the works of others over their own. What a town, kid, what a town.
