At Koka Booth Amphitheater :
Saturday July 26th - The Avett Brothers
Friday August 8th Wilco
It appears that the Lincoln Theater has decided to bring us a bevy of cover bands this summer. Not just regular cover bands, but metal and power rock cover bands. Let's see here, July 26th we have Night Prowler , an AC / DC tribute act. From the name alone, my guess is that they will kick ass, but you will have to see for yourself. There is no way I'm going. After that The Frontiers, who claim to be "the ultimate tribute to Journey". Yeah, we'll see about that fellas! For now though,
The North Carolina Museum of Art's summer concert series kicked off Wednesday night with a performance from country siren Emmylou Harris. For 40 years, Harris has shared with us her own cocktail of country, bluegrass, folk, and rock which has never failed to impress. Harris has worked on numerous records and projects with the likes of Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and many more. Artists go out of there way to have Emmylou on board for an album. Her performance was chilling to say the least. Harris possesses a certain magic unattainable by most in her genre. A lot of girls out there are trying their damnedest to sound like Emmylou, but I think it's impossible. She is one of those creatures sent here to keep us slightly bewildered by her natural ability to write and sing, but moreover stirred by her voice and presence. The highlight of the evening for me was a tear jerking "Sailing Around the Room."
Please check out these venue calenders for upcoming shows. As this blog blossoms, I will do everything in my power to keep you guys up to date with what I'm looking forward to, what you should avoid, and what you may have missed. Please bear (yes "bear" not "bare") with us as we add more content. Thank you for your patience!
