Moog Music has announced that MoogFest – the annual event honoring the remarkable vision of Robert Moog and his amazing musical inventions  – is moving from New York City to Asheville.

MoogFest 2009 will be held in Asheville the weekend of September 11 – 13, 2009.

MoogFest will celebrate Bob Moog’s legacy as a sonic pioneer, which will be the thread that unites the festival’s rich array of musical offerings. Moogfest 2009 will also incorporate elements of the EtherMusic Festival – showcasing the theremin, the world’s first electronic music instrument. The electronic music festival will host artists and audiences from throughout the world in different venues throughout Asheville’s historic downtown.
