5 Asheville area musicians responded to the need of the Western North Carolina community devastated by Hurricane Helene by assembling a music compilation called Caverns of Gold. 280 artists are featured on the compilation and include well-known artists like R.E.M., Luscious Jackson, moe., Leftover Salmon, Consolidated, Milk Carton Kids, Kevn Kinney (of Drivin' n' Cryin'), and dozens more artists from around the globe. The Caverns of Gold podcast features interviews with artists who donated their music to assist with the recovery efforts. To date, Caverns of Gold has raised over $20,000 for BeLoved Asheville.
