Sounds of summer
There’s always some kind of musical thing going on around the Albemarle region during the summer. There’s stuff going on all year, too, but summer is the main part of the year when garage bands to old pros get out there and give it all they’ve got. Hey, I’m even playing drums in a band now (Ticky Tacky), and we’ll be at The City Wine Sellar some time in May. But The Wine Sellar is a pretty happenin’ place all year round, mainly on Friday nights for music with lots of local musicians as well as people from out of town. Just check out www.citywine.blogspot.com for the latest. Thumpers will be having their share of bands, I’m sure. They always have some good ones e.g. Further Adieu and others. They ususally have DJs and karaoke, too. Level’s has been featuring national acts on their stage, lately and feature good DJs like Tami from Miami. They’re doing the Teen Idol thing in April, too, so go try out. There are a lot of new restaurants in town that are getting live music, plus the Potato Festival, Harbor Nights and all the other things that go on in EC usually have at least one band featured. I suggest that if you sing or have a band and a good number of songs worked up, go put yourself a demo tape together, write a good bio and get out there and get famous! Maybe I’ll see you out there.
