Music Menu / News Quiana Zenobia, Johnson Valentine Bash, Sugar Glyder, Ed E. Ruger (2-11-2011)

QUIANA ZENOBIA This independent soul songstress was brought up on music. With a grandmother who was a classically trained organist and a mother who sang, it was only natural for her to take that love of music and run. And that she did, starting with the church choir and moving on from gospel to jazz and soul. Her honest lyrics ooze with soul and have a certain grit to them that's cool. Fat Snacks Band backing.

JOHNSON VALENTINE BASH Wes and Chris Johnson, of Charlotte pop combo Hardcore Lounge, return with their annual (19th and counting) Valentine's fundraising bash with proceeds benefiting RAIN (Regional AIDS Interfaith Network). An evening of pop, lounge, rock and Americana will be on tap for this shindig that also features guests performing with Hardcore Lounge along with Mike Strauss Band warming up and DJ Jason Cooper spinning records. $7. Snug Harbor. www.snugrock.com. (Samir Shukla)

SUGAR GLYDER Charlotte quartet Sugar Glyder continues to write hard pop and moody rock numbers that are just the right kind of smooth around the edges. Their songs are catchy, hummable and fully developed with rock layers and plenty of "radio stars in the making" overtones. This is the CD Release gig for their new recording, Lovers at Lightspeed. Also on the bill are House of Fools, Ethnographers, and Oh No Fiasco. $8. Amos' Southend. www.amossouthend.com. (Shukla)

ED E. RUGER'S CD RELEASE PARTY Looking for good local hip-hop? Greensboro's Ed E. Ruger is releasing a new CD, but it's the local support he's getting that's just as noteworthy. Among those on the bill are A. Moss and Dinero Farrar, Ty Bru, F. Dux and Ike Turnah. Those wondering where to find solid rap artists from the Queen City area should look no further. $8. 9 p.m. Tremont Music Hall. www.tremontmusichall.com. (Jeff Hahne)
