Highlighting artists and events throughout North Carolina
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
Richard Bacchus & The Luckiest Girls
April 5, 2026, The Berkeley Cafe, Raleigh, NC
In 2021, Raleigh’s Richard Bacchus released an underappreciated gem of a Rock ‘n Roll album entitled “Viva La Wattage.” If you love pure, unapologetic 1970’s NYC rock, this is the show for you. Doors: 7pm
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
Superchunk, Rosali
April 22, 2026, Eulogy, Asheville, NC
The dream of the ‘90s is alive with Superchunk. Stalwarts of the Chapel Hill indie rock and DIY scene bring their latest incarnation to Asheville. Merge Records label mate Rosali (think a more whimsical Aimee Mann) opens. Doors: 8pm
Biscuits & Banjos presents: Rhiannon Giddens' Beloved Community
April 27, 2026, DPAC, Durham, NC
Fresh off her acclaimed work on the Sinners soundtrack, GRAMMY & Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens returns to Durham with a celebration and exploration of Black music, art and culture. Doors: 6pm
Secret Monkey Weekend
May 1, 2026, Bynum General Store, Pittsboro, NC
Jefferson Hart and his two daughters distill down the sounds of 60’s pop and 70’s rock into a potent concoction of upbeat, jangly tunes unlike any family band you’ve ever experienced before! Doors: 6pm
Sluice
May 23, 2026, AyurPrana Listening Room, Asheville, NC
As one of the handful of NC bands working to make the “alt country” tag cool again, Durham’s Sluice has definitely made some positive strides. Doors: 7pm
Lynn Blakey: A Celebration of Her Life and Music
May 30, 2026, Cat’s Cradle, Carrboro, NC
Chatham County Line, Tift Merritt, Caitlin Cary, John Howie and many more come together to pay tribute to beloved NC musician Lynn Blakey. Doors: 7pm
