The Asheville Music History Walking Tour explores downtown Asheville through the stories of bands, musicians, sound innovation, and creative culture. During this 2-hour, 1.5 mile stroll, we’ll talk about Asheville’s eclectic music roots, from Scots-Irish and Appalachian traditions to today’s heady blend of rock, blues, electronic, hip-hop, and experimental sounds.
The tour winds its way through several downtown areas, such as Lexington Avenue and The Block — Asheville’s historic African-American business district. We’ll stop by the Moogseum, Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, famed music venue The Orange Peel, and more.
Expect fun facts from the past 100 years of Asheville’s history, along with insider insights from a longtime Asheville resident and arts/music journalist.
There will be plenty of photo ops and an accompanying soundtrack as well as suggestions for eateries, breweries, and can’t-miss activities.
