CHARLOTTE EVENTS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
October 1, 2008 - October 8, 2008

Please read this article about how the Current Rising Costs and overall Economy is affecting the touring bands and venues:
(http://idolator.com/5054540/hurricanes-and-opec-to-bands-dont-tour).
(Thanks to Hopeforagoldensummer for sharing their expenses spreadsheet).
Come out to the shows if you can, while there's still plenty of good music to be heard and experienced live. 
Please support the acts and those who bring these concerts to you.

"He who hears music, feels his solitude peopled at once." ~ Robert Browning
