AshevilleFM 103.3 and The Getaway River Bar – have teamed up to provide you this live performance….

Thomas Kozak & the Poets

ABOUT THE BAND:
Thomas Kozak is a singer-songwriter based in Asheville, NC. With a focus on lyricism and structure that stretches convention, he looks to bend an ear beyond the expected. His blend of intricate picking patterns and soft, dark vocals has led his music to be described as meditative and intimate, while his lyrics are a challenging but rewarding departure from a clear narrative pattern.
In 2019, Kozak linked up with the critically-acclaimed Americana artist Jim White (“Wrong-Eyed Jesus”/“No Such Place”) who would produce his most recent album, “The Rubicon.” Engineered by John Keane and released on June 3rd, 2022, “The Rubicon” is an exploration of the ongoing life of the decisions one makes, traced through to a culminating acceptance, all against the wildly diverse soundscape Jim White is known for.
His music can be found on Spotify and other streaming services..

Real People, Great Record Release Party!

by

Our second annual fundraiser compilation in collaboration with Citizen Vinyl, “Real People, Great Radio Vol 2,” releases this Friday, December 15! Featuring ten acts spanning a wide variety of genres, curated by our Music Department and the folks at Citizen Vinyl, cover art by our own Devyn Marzuola, and mastered at Drop of Sun Studios, it’s a wonderful community effort and sounds just as awesome as it looks!

We hope you’ll join us at the release party at Citizen Vinyl on Thursday, December 14. Doors are at 6, and the bands start at 7. We are so excited to have Pilgrim Party Girl, Wagging, Mili Mo, Jessie & The Jinx, and Wind Cults (Nguyen/Lion/Nauke trio) performing!

Pick up your copy of Real People, Great Radio Vol 2 (AND Vol 1!) at the party! Pre-order for vinyl and digital are also available on Bandcamp now, and the album will be officially released Friday, December 15! LPs will also be available at fine local record retailers after the release party.

All proceeds from the fundraiser help keep Asheville FM on the air and support our mission to keep the “community” in non-profit, volunteer-run community radio.
