CHATHAM COUNTY LINE Raleigh’s Chatham County Line, a band that loves the traditional conventions of bluegrass but doesn’t mind getting a little adventurous, has hosted an annual holiday show in its hometown for the past handful of years. This year, CCL is taking the show on
the road, stopping in Charlotte on Dec. 15. If you’ve never seen these guys, give yourself a holiday gift and check them out. After all, the
Avett Brothers aren’t the only ones in these parts doing intelligent, heartfelt, amped-up N.C. folk. (Mark Kemp)
