3 days of your music in the mountains of Asheville, NC August 13th-15th

Asheville, NC--Harvest Records celebrates five groundbreaking years as one of America’s best independent record stores with Transfigurations--an intimate first time music festival outside the norm of large, multi-stage summer festivals in Asheville, NC. Transfigurations is bringing together an incredible lineup of independent artists from all over the country August 13-15th including Akron/Family, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Books, Budos Band, Circulatory System, Mount Eerie, Espers, War on Drugs, Brightblack Morning Light, Kurt Vile, Ice Cream, Jonathan Kane, Coathangers, Villages, and Steve Gunn. In addition to live music Transfigurations will present a panel discussion and films from three record label heads who, through their own unique methods, are at the forefront of documenting musics, new and old, from the United States & around the world.

Transfigurations is a down-home gathering consisting of three venues (550 capacity or less) with virtually no overlap of artist performance. The gathering is a culmination of co-owners Matt Schnable and Mark Capon sharing a mutual love for creating a space dedicated to the discovery of music in a supportive community. “Transfigurations brings together the spirits of the musicians that we have brought to this city, the artists who have displayed on our walls, the sounds people have found in our shop and the togetherness that we have attempted to breathe into the community...hour by hour, day by day, “ says Capon.

Over the last five years Harvest Records has brought new and old musicians to Asheville as well as fresh ideas and an inclusive attitude. Through hard work and a do-it-yourself business style, Harvest Records gained Honorable Mention in Spin Magazines America’s Best Indy Record Stores in 2009 with, “a savvy selection to rival any big-city shop, in a comfortably sleepy mountain town.” Harvest has also been awarded “Best Music Store” in Western North Carolina for the past four years by the Mountain Xpress readers’ poll.

Harvest Records has filled an important niche in Asheville, in the southeast, and among record stores. “You may have been in a small, independent record store, but we feel Harvest Records is unique and we want everyone who walks through the door to have a satisfying exchange and an inclusive experience,” says co-owner Matt Schnable. “That fresh perspective has kept us going every day, and that same attitude of sharing a love of music and creativity is what we are bringing to Transfigurations.”

Tickets are on sale now--Regular weekend passes ("Regafigurations") are limited, and special weekend passes ("Megafigurations" ) are extremely limited, so hurry!
