We can’t list everyone. We want to, but we just can’t. When we first started compiling a roster of people who make Charlotte’s music scene what it is, the list quickly grew to more than 75 people. So, we decided instead to focus on a solid dozen who do a lot outside of the spotlight. But we couldn’t let one of these go, so here we are at lucky 13.
The people we chose are those who go above and beyond any expectations, daily jobs or band demands to make Charlotte a better place, sonically. Whether it’s creating a weekly/monthly event, promoting a much-ignored niche, making Charlotte more welcoming to out-of-town acts or simply focusing eyes anywhere other than on themselves.
These folks deserve to have the spotlight turned back around on all the hard work they’re doing, and we’re happy to do it.

Congratulations to everyone!
Im from Virginia, but Buck and Dane have made me fall in love with your city. I come there every chance I get and those two (along with all the other great people they’ve introduced me to) always make me feel like I’m coming home.
It’s an absolute honor to be included in this group of talented people. “Creative Loafing” you guys rock for staying true to the music!
