A series on how local businesses are adjusting to the COVID-19 crisis
|
|
John Justice, Sales Manager of Biltmore Wines, and Emily Burritt, Owner of South Slope Cheese Company, have joined forces during the pandemic. They're offering bundles that include wine and cheese pairings, all local!
|
|
|
While we've all had to adjust to the "new normal" (whatever that is), our local business owners and managers each have their own story to tell about how they've been affected and what they are doing during these unprecedented times. Dig Local is proud to partner with our friend, Ann Smith, at Leap Frog Tours to interview some of the folks who make Asheville, Asheville.

Just in Time For the Weekend!
Five More Local Tunes Have Been Added.
|
|
|
One of the five new songs added this week is "Walkin" by Mellowfield.
|
|
|
"Mellowfield is based in Asheville, NC. The band's influences range from alt-rock, electronic and shoegaze to punk, classic rock, and the strangely complementary areas of Metal and Avant Sound art. You know, like if Black Sabbath, Nirvana, and Brian Eno had a baby... Mellowfield is out to change the landscape of music in the 21st Century. To do this they create music that is at once new and yet somehow familiar. Extremely catchy hooks are combined with a construct of traditional rock elements and avant soundscapes. They have the means and they know the way."
Listen to their song Walkin on our playlist.
Other songs that we've added this week are:

Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, but it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. Check out the new 360 VR video playlist of Serenery (Serene + Scenery) by Miranda of Namaste in Nature to give your brain and your body a break from the gloom and doom of the news lately.
