In this episode, Emily Allen sits down with three different musicians (Elan Deharo, Christopher Wilhelm, and Ben Bavonese) from Asheville, NC, who experienced the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene, which transformed the city. They discuss where they were during the storm and how the city came together to rebuild the city and its art scene from the ground up.
