David's music tour is excellent! He not only weaves music information but adds local history as well. The music information is historical and current too. The tour moved at an easy pace. David allows for questions and discussions. A great way to see Downtown Asheville!

If you want a tour of the Asheville music scene you can't go wrong here. David Penley is so knowledgeable from his years of experience in the music and stereo industry. He brings that knowledge and love to Asheville and he has dug deep into the local music history to find all the nuggets of the local artists that originated or called Asheville their home over the years.

We took the day walking tour of Asheville Music History with David. It was spectacular. Very in-depth, and David is really knowledgeable. You see all the key venues, understand the history, and it ends at the Moog Museum, which chronicles the creation of the devices that made modern pop music possible.
