Moogfest celebrates the legacy of Bob Moog, a visionary engineer who pioneered the analog synthesizer and other technology tools used by artists like Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, and Kraftwerk. This year’s program will feature over 250 innovators in music, art, and technology -- from Gary Numan (3 nights), GZA (2 nights), Grimes and Laurie Anderson, to virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier and transhumanist visionary Dr. Martine Rothblatt. For the first time, Moogfest takes place in Durham, North Carolina, a fast-growing capital of technology, culture and entrepreneurship.

From Thursday, May 19 - Sunday, May 22, Moogfest unfolds in venues throughout downtown Durham in spaces that range from intimate galleries to grand theaters. Special care has been taken to pair nighttime performances with spaces that have unique acoustics and style.   For a full list of details, head on over to the Moogfest website. 

Attention All Runners

The independent music label, Merge Records, is turning 25 this year.  In collaboration with Bull City Running Co., they are giving to others with the Merge 25K road race.  The hope is to collect donations for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina and Habitat for Humanity of Durham and Orange County.  The race will take place on Saturday, March 22.

The course will begin in Chapel Hill where Merge Records first opened its doors and will end in downtown Durham, the label's current home.  Registration is open now and will run through race day.  To enter, go to Sportoften.com, the cost of the race is $85.  Upon registration, racers will receive a free three month MVP membership to MapMyRun mobile app courtesy of MapMyFitness.
