electro-music 2008 will build on the success of the previous electro-music events in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The participants at those events felt it was a ground-breaking and inspirational experience. After three successful years in Philadelphia, the festival moves to Kingsport Tennessee. We expect many of the artists who were at the earlier events to return this year, along with some interesting and talented newcomers.
