Locals have always known what a treasure we have here in Asheville when it comes to live music. The variety of live music available in intimate settings is enough to satiate any passionate music lover.

Be it bluegrass, blues, jazz, mountain music, reggae, traditional rock 'n' roll, Asheville's got it all. No Britney Spears here, y'all. Just good ol' fashioned good-time, genuine artists.

Now, the secret is coming out and the world is beginning to learn about the magnetic appeal of Asheville's music scene.

In its current issue, Rolling Stone magazine is naming The Orange Peel as one of the top music venues in the country.

Asheville's Americana, Burlesque, and Sideshow Festival

June 24, 2007 - New photos from first Asheville show!

Smashing Pumpkins :: Not to even remotely take away anything at all from the Smashing Pumpkins, but locally you have to think that it's just as much a successful 80s alt-rock band making their return as it is that they chose Asheville to open their US tour in. Asheville is a great music scene before the Smashing Pumpkins came to town, and the publicity on a national scale is always welcomed.

I hope the band enjoys their stay and the fans enjoy themselves as well. We're honored to have you with us.

**UPDATE: There is a Smashing Pumpkins @ The Orange Peel pool on Flickr. And a Smashing Pumpkins pool, and an Asheville pool.

With these websites and the Citizen-Times newspaper photos, and the SMASHEVILLE and Smashing Pumpkins sites, fans at the Asheville, NC, event are pretty well represented.

People are rolling into town from all over today for the big Smashing Pumpkins residency at The Orange Peel. The first of 9 concerts begins tonight, June 23, and many people are going to more than one concert.

Asheville newspaper, the Citizen-Times, has set up a website called SMASHVILLE where fans can blog about the Smashing Pumpkins in Asheville, and find out where to stay and what to do, etc, in the Asheville area.

I hope everyone was able to find accommodations and tickets. I see where Asheville Craig's List has tickets posted, but please beware of all the tickets not bought through regular channels. The Orange Peel website has important information regarding which tickets are acceptable.
