~The
Charlotte Folk Society!~
The Charlotte Folk Society
gatherings are moving to The Great Aunt Stella Center. After
26 years of holding monthly concerts and jam sessions on the Central CPCC
Campus, the Charlotte Folk Society was compelled to move when attendance outgrew
venue capacity. The Great Aunt Stella Center, a beloved downtown landmark, was
originally designed as a church. The former sanctuary offers a beautiful
performance space with great acoustics and seating for 400. Ample surface
parking is available adjacent to the Stella Center, with complimentary parking
available after 7 PM in a nearby parking deck. Visit www.folksociety.org for details.
~Earth
Xstasy Entertainment~
No Second Troy- blends pop rock hooks of bands like
Coldplay, Snow Patrol, The Fray w/ unique indie rock arrangements.
The Influence- indie rock band w/powerful backing
rhythms and a hybrid acoustic/electric signature.
Stars Go Dim- tulsa based quartet- perfect melding of
modern pop w/a classic soul, evoking the top 40's best guitar players like John
Mayer and Maroon 5. They've opened for Chris Daughtry and Switchfoot, received
the listeners choice awards for CMT, and placed 5th in Singers of the
Universe.
HuDost- alternative world music,
country/eastern fusion, atmospheric, experimental sound, mixed w/ rich eclectic
blending of Sufi music.
