Highlighting artists and events throughout North Carolina
Blue Cactus, Skylar Gudasz
February 13, 2026, Cat’s Cradle Back Room, Carrboro, NC
This Valentine’s Eve show highlights the nouveau honky tonk of Chapel Hill’s Blue Cactus and the particular Americana of Durham’s Skylar Gudasz. Doors: 7pm
Onyx Club Boys
February 17, 2026, Continental Club, Greensboro, NC
While deeply rooted in the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt, Chapel Hill’s Onyx Club Boys bring enough vintage swank and skill to appeal to any contemporary music lover. Doors: 8pm
Hammer No More the Fingers, The Bronzed Chorus
February 27, 2026, The Flat Iron, Greensboro, NC
Eclectic Durham rockers HNMTF bring their upbeat, wall of sound to Greensboro. Gate City synth enthusiasts The Bronzed Chous open with their epic, sci-fi soundtrack expeditions. Doors: 7pm
Slow Teeth, Scrape, Minor Stars
March 7, 2026, Cat’s Cradle Back Room, Carrboro, NC
For fans of curveball lineups, this one’s for you! It may be an oversimplification, but: Slow Teeth makes melodic, spaced-out rock music; Scrape makes sludgy, doom metal; And Minor Stars makes fuzzy, Sabbath inspired power rock. Doors: 7pm
Feyleux, Heavy For the Vintage
March 19, 2026, Local 506, Chapel Hill, NC
Melodic darkwave act Feyleaux will definitely scratch that goth rock itch. Heavy For the Vintage opens with their brand of danceable, dank synth pop. Doors: 7pm
Frank Hurricane
April 1, 2026, The Cave, Chapel Hill, NC
Mystical mountain troubadour Frank Hurricane brings his bluesy brand of folk music to Chapel Hill’s oldest tavern. Doors: 8pm
Wednesday
April 5, 2026, Ramkat, Winston-Salem, NC
The NPR Music article that declared Asheville’s Wednesday “might” have made the “rock album of the year” was very careful to skirt terms like “americana” and “alt-country.” Perhaps this just proves how genre-defying distortion pedals can be! Doors: 6pm
Certain Seas, Erie Choir, Neon Ruins
April 10, 2026, Local 506, Chapel Hill, NC
Certain Seas, the indie folk project from Squirrel Nut Zippers alum Katherine Whalen, offers a wonderfully eclectic array of sparkly harmonies and catchy melodies. Carrboro favorites Erie Choir brings great, hook-laden songwriting. And Neon Ruins opens with their mix of folk rock and psych guitars. A great lineup for a spring Friday night! Doors: 8pm
