MANY, MANY THANKS!
Creative Loafing Best of Charlotte 2010
CHAMPION OF THE SCENE: DON AND LAURIE KOSTER
"If there were ever “superfans” in Charlotte, Don and Laurie would collectively be the poster children. They’re constantly spotted all over town in just about every venue, supporting local acts as quickly as national ones. Their home has been dubbed the “rock & roll hotel” for all of the hospitality they show to bands touring through the area. They are two true music fans that this scene would easily die without — and they do it all for a “thank you.” Well, thanks, you two, too!"
