Sense Of Place Asheville: Joe Kendrick's Local Picks

The program director at World Cafe affiliate WNCW offers a guide to five must-know Asheville bands.
Joe Kendrick is the program director at WNCW, World Cafe's affiliate in Spindale, N.C. The station's wide geographic coverage (North Carolina, South Carolina and into Tennessee) is matched by the breadth of the music it features. WNCW dives into Americana, blues and bluegrass, and even broadcasts a Sunday-afternoon old-time show.
