History of POPA

POPAsheville began as IdFest in 2003 with a one-night, 5-band, multimedia show meant to repay some bands who had helped Asheville band Stephanie's Id with shows on the road. The fest remained a one-night affair for a few years until April 2007, when it erupted into a 2-day, 2-venue event, showcasing 28 bands/acts over 2 nights in 2 venues on 3 stages. The fest also included a music biz panel discussion for musician attendees, a viewing of a recording session at Asheville's legendary Collapseable Studio, and a tour of the new award-winning state-of-the art Echo Mountain Studio.

The fest became too big for one band to manage. It was renamed POPAsheville, and lots of people started getting involved. Over MLK weekend in January 2009, POPAsheville celebrates its 4th year as a venue-based music festival celebrating the uniqueness, artistry, and authenticity of Asheville's modern music scene and strengthening its connections with the music world at large.
