St. Peter’s Homes, Inc. owns and operates McCreesh Place, Charlotte’s first single-room-occupancy (SRO) apartment community, designed to serve sixty-four (64) formerly homeless disabled men with permanent housing and supportive services. We've seen it firsthand and it's filled with a pretty special group of people who work, volunteer, live OR perform there.

"Our friend, Laurie Koster,
makes a really awesome local music newsletter, and it alerted us to the Ellis
concert. Sometimes, she knows about stuff before the general public. So, the day
we saw the Charlotte show at The Evening Muse advertised in Laurie's newsletter,
we bought our tickets."

Weekly music calendar update is the one I rely on - Carolina Music
