ABOUT BILL KOPP<\/strong>
With a background in marketing and advertising, Bill Kopp got his professional start writing for Trouser Press<\/em>. After a stint as Editor-in-chief for a national music magazine, Bill launched Musoscribe in 2009, and has published new content every business day since then (and every single day for several years). The more than 5000 interviews, essays, and reviews on Musoscribe reflect Bill’s keen interest in American musical forms, most notably rock, jazz, and soul. His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill’s work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. He regularly hosts lecture\/discussions on artists and albums of historical importance (including monthly events Music to Your Ears and Music Movie Mondays), and is a frequent guest on music-focused radio programs and podcasts. In Spring 2023 he taught a history of Rock ‘n’ Roll at UNC Asheville’s College for Seniors. He also researches and authors liner notes for album reissues — some 40 to date — and co-produced a reissue of jazz legend Julian “Cannonball” Adderley’s final album. His first book, Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon<\/em> was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018, and in paperback in 2019. His second book, Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave<\/em>, was published in 2021 by HoZac Books. His third book, What’s the Big Idea: 30 Great Concept Albums<\/em> is available now.<\/div>\n

ABOUT JOYFUL NOISE<\/strong>
In 2024, Hurricane Helene tore through Asheville\u2019s River Arts District and changed it overnight. Studios flooded. Restaurants closed. Gathering places \u2014 the kind that hold memories \u2014 were lost. But this neighborhood has always been built by people who make things. Artists. Brewers. Chefs. Musicians. Neighbors who believe in showing up for one another. And when the water receded, so did any doubt that the River Arts District would rise again. Joyful Noise Listening Lounge and Kitchen is part of that next chapter. Located at 37 Paynes Way in the heart of the River Arts District, Joyful Noise was created to give people a place to slow down and truly be present \u2014 with music, with food, and with each other. Our inspiration reaches beyond Asheville.<\/div>\n
