Adding to the landscape of male-female duets these days is a band called The Civil Wars. I'm not surprised that they're based out of Tennessee and the Muscle Shoals area of Alabama.
They were on Jay Leno last night performing the title track from their album Barton Hollow.
The group will be coming to The Evening Muse on Feb. 9.

Gucci Mane was recently released from a mental institution. To celebrate, the rapper went and got a tattoo... of an ice cream cone... on his face. Seriously.

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 11:44 AM
Charlotte band Matrimony is trying to raise $1,000 via the Kickstarter Web site in order to head out on tour this Spring. They're just over $100 from reaching their goal — if they don't reach $1,000, they get none of it.
With plenty of fans in the area, it should be no problem to make the mark in the final hours of the fundraiser today. Help out and get the talented group on the road!
Click here — you can donate as little as $5 or as much as you'd like.
