Permit secured. Bring a friend or two. Heck, maybe this guy will even be there again.
Earthtone Soundsystem gained notoriety in Atlanta during the mid 90′s for its free outdoor renegade parties in Piedmont Park. Usually on Sunday afternoons, these events drew quite a diverse crowd and exposed lots of people to the house music vibe. Since then the Earthone DJs have spread out across the US but their mission remains the same. Crank up the sound system and play some dance music for the masses!
Pritchard Park is located right in the heart of downtown Asheville, wedged between Patton Ave and College St.
