Anvil Sessions News Today

Fayetteville musician and genius producer Raif Box is launching a free-all ages music festival Aug. 18-19 at CACHE Studios in Bentonville. Dubbed Anvil Fest after his Holy Anvil Recording Company, the free event is both a fundraiser to keep the sessions going and to help local musicians and creatives connect with resources -- from booking agents to merch providers, Box says.

Holy Anvil Recording Co. is a recording studio that has captured demos and albums for local bands for a few years. But in the past few months, it has started producing a new video series, highlighting music from some of those same local bands. We talk with Raif Box, owner of Holy Anvil Recording Company, about the Anvil Sessions and about how the studio got its start.
