Asheville FM Seeks Board Members!

November 7, 2022 by KP Whaley

We are pleased to announce that 103.3 Asheville FM is looking for members of our community to serve as Board members to guide our vision and fulfill our inclusive and progressive mission. The Mission of Asheville FM is to keep Asheville thriving by producing diverse and eclectic programming that inspires our listeners to build connections across our communities and to discover new music and ideas. We do this by producing diverse, insightful and relevant news, talk, sports and music programming.

Board members attend meetings (6 per year) and serve on a committee and participate in fundraising, with the primary responsibility of providing leadership, vision and direction. Board members also develop and recruit volunteer leaders, oversee and procure financial resources, support our general manager, staff and volunteers; and ensure that programming achieves AFM’s mission.Asheville FM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.

Being on the board of Asheville FM is rewarding in so many ways! And fun! In addition to helping guide an important community resource, you will be making connections with other volunteers in our family and the Asheville community in general, and also learning about how local community radio serves the Asheville area. Asheville FM is a vibrant organization, our station is solvent and growing; and we need intelligent, passionate leaders to help shape our future.

Board members also attend our casual station get-togethers and other functions and get to know the members of our extended family.

Please consider a seat on our Board today! We would love the opportunity to share our future plans with you. Please send your email of interest to [email protected], and we will send you a short application.

Thank you for your consideration!

Asheville FM Live Music Sessions with Descolada

September 7, 2022 by KP Whaley

AshevilleFM, Bhramari Brewing Company, and The Getaway River Bar have joined forces to provide you with this live performance at The Getaway and broadcast live on 103.3 Asheville FM.

Descolada is the musical child of Asheville, North Carolina based singer-songwriter Colton Ray Nelson. Descolada’s sound treads the line between Country & Folk. The sounds of pedal steel, banjo, organ and fiddle are weaved into a bed of authentic, good ol’ Country vibes, with Colton’s sullen vocals taking listeners through a collection of heartfelt stories.

As Descolada, Colton released his debut record ‘Big Dam Foolishness’ in September 2021. It was recorded by Garrett Langebartels of Naptime Recordings in Indianapolis, Indiana. Big Dam Foolishness touches on themes of family, grief and loss, with an array of traditional instrumentation used to get his brand of melancholia across

The show begins at 9pm with a set at 10pm live broadcasted on Asheville FM Live Music Sessions.
