On January 18th, ASCAP kicked off its 10th anniversary of producing the much-lauded music café at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah with great fanfare. As snow fell, the crowds swelled and buzz began building about the quality of films at this year's festival, the music café was also abuzz with filmmaking music fans who packed the Star Bar on Main Street as soon as ASCAP opened the door.

Performers included Patti Smith, AM, Ingrid Michaelson, Jesca Hoop, Sea Wolf, Paddy Casey, Eef Barzelay, Pat Monahan of Train, Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack and Sondre Lerche.
