Local recording studio 1. Echo Mountain
www.echomountain.net Locally unparalleled in terms of its massive space, gear and amenities, the relatively new Echo Mountain has already birthed albums by the Avett Brothers (with uber-producer Rick Rubin), Band of Horses and myriad excellent local bands. Their emerging empire will soon include a brewery and live-music venue.

Local dance company 1. Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance
www.terpsicorps.org An ingenious concept, Terpsicorps taps the talents of professional dancers from national companies during their off-season. This gives Asheville a top-notch ballet company each summer, and also allows creative director Heather Maloy to showcase her innovative choreography, while also colluding with local musicians (for more on that, see best “Live Show of 2009: Dance”).
