  • Any Redneck Women Out There?

    If so, I thought you might like to know that the original “Redneck Woman”, Gretchen Wilson, is performing this Saturday afternoon at City Limits Saloon in Raleigh! It’s actually a “Thank you!” and benefit event, put on by the folks at WQDR, City Limits, and Deep South Entertainment. WQDR and…

  • I Wish…

    …concert dates were release well before their on-sale dates so I could save up money for tickets! For instance, I’d LOVE to see Clapton on March 8th. Will I have the money for tickets to be purchased in 4 days from today? Not with the fees, that’s for sure. Do…

  • Spare Change Coming to City Limits!

    If you’ve been to the TBMF, there’s a good chance you’ve partied with Spare Change… and had a blast. I love these guys and was super excited to see they’ll be coming to City Limits in December. (They often play a lot of Eastern NC shows, but never close enough…

  • Shine!

    The girls and I happened to kinda sorta end up backstage with the boys at the Eric Church “Carolina” launch party… and totally had no idea we were in Matt’s good graces, of course. Long story short, this Western NC boy making waves in Nashville is going to be in…

  • Zac Brown Band in Raleigh this Weekend!

    If you’ve been around since October 2008, you’ve probably seen one or two of my posts about ZBB – including the original. While I’m bummed that it wasn’t my handiwork that brought them to my beloved Raleighwood (not without effort – I tried, but other forces who don’t know any…
