News / Eric Mullis Coming in June - Groverfest

Posted By on Mon, May 3, 2010 at 9:58 AM

Charlotte is a bit of a dead-zone when it comes to music festivals. There are a few festivals held uptown every spring and summer, but the music is usually paired with food exhibitions and the bands are often cover-bands or “safe” national touring acts. Unfortunately, there’s not much love for local and regional bands at the festivals held uptown. Maybe the promoters want to play it safe and/or assume that the festival goers aren’t musically adventurous…

But in 2007 a group of enterprising musicians from the Mooresville area took it upon themselves to put a bona fide music festival together — Groverfest — a festival that focuses on local and regional artists… both well-known acts and up-and-comers.

As I said in my last blog post, a good music festival gives festival goers and chance to get away from day-to-day routine, to get into nature, and to share in the experience of music. The Groverfest family of musicians takes this in stride by offering on-site camping at the Millstone farm in Davidson and by having concerts running on outdoor stages throughout the day and on an expansive stage in a rustic barn at night (with full light-show!).

This year, they are teaming up with The Carolina Live Music Society to pull together what looks to be a great festival from June 4-6. This year’s line-up is already quite impressive:

News / Music Menu Korn (05/03/2010)

Posted By on Mon, May 3, 2010 at 8:47 AM

Korn During their hiatus, Korn front man Jonathan Davis hit Tremont Music Hall for an intense, yet poorly attended, solo tour stop. Now, the band is back together and gearing up for the release of its newest album by warming up on another small club tour – this time stopping at the 2,000-capacity Fillmore. Let's hope more people show up for this one – I can only imagine the energy that will swell inside of that place. It could be left in ruins. With 2 Cents, Saint Diablo. The Fillmore Charlotte

A founding member of the swamp/psych band Santeria, Bro Dege has also put in a stint with CC Adcock and released much solo work with slide guitar and lonesome crooning, all rooted in punk and hard rock. With Gideon Smith and Dear Druid. Milestone

News / Music Menu Live: Mama's Love & Q-bex (05/01/2010)

Posted By on Sat, May 1, 2010 at 8:47 AM

Mama's Love Its influence triple-dips into the pools of funk, rock and soul. Lead/rhythm vocalist Thomas Galloway adds electricity to what would be yet another band recycling '70s funk music, by threading in some '80s and '90s rock vocals. Splicing electric guitar chords and rock vocals within a mostly funk set is what separates these men from the boys – it's all about reinventing old influences. The youthful quintet from Athens, Ga., started making noise in 2006 under the alias Funkward Bound. Having since changed its name, the band now totes the bumper sticker slogan, "Come get some Mama's Love." With Major Magick. Double Door Inn (Nicole Pietrantonio)

Q-bex Drummer Jeff Sipe of Apt. Q-258 is teaming up with guitarist/singer Greg Humphreys and bassist Andy Ware, both of Hobex, for a limited number of shows together. What to expect? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm guessing a fair number of Hobex tunes and a few covers. There are hints to "very special guests," but you can never be sure what that means. Neighborhood Theatre (Jeff Hahne)
