What It Is went on the road for this conversation at Echo Mountain Recording Studios in Asheville, NC for this conversation with Jessica Tomasin, Crissa Requate, Woody Wood and Fred Mills. We talk about the lineup of this year's Bele Chere, it's history and also compare and contrast it with other festivals in the region and the nation.

this is the full version of the show that was edited for radio broadcast 7-18 to 7-21-11
