  • Yee Haw, Y’all!

    I found out about this because I am subscribed to Eric Church’s RSS feeds for his upcoming tour dates. When I saw he would be playing Raleigh at TWC this summer, I clicked through to see who he was with. The Country Throwdown Tour is DEFINITELY on my calendar!

    May 27th in Charlotte, May 28th here Raleigh!

    You could say I was pleasantly surprised. Just check out these details


    I <3 MG, Jack, EYB, the Trailers, and Heidi. I can't wait to see what other talent they add to this kick ass lineup! See y’all there!

  • 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 City Limits Saloon wanted to thank everyone who donated to the QDR Christmas Wish program that has been held on-air for the past few weeks, so to do that, they’re inviting those who donated out to special afternoon concert on December 19th with Gretchen Wilson.

    If you didn’t get a chance to hear about Christmas Wish or to donate, you can purchase tickets at the door for $10.00; however, space will be limited. All proceeds from the door go to benefit the QDR Christmas Wish 🙂

    Doors open at 12pm. No advance tickets are available.
    You can call the boys at City Limits at (919) 829-3939 if you have any other questions!

  • 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 I think it’s worth putting it on my credit card? Nope.

    At least the two shows I HAVE to see in 2010 were announced welllll ahead of time.

    Tim McGraw – August 14th, 2010 – Walnut Creek (Thanks Dana!)
    With Lady A opening!

    Brooks & Dunn (farewell tour) – June 5th, 2010 – Venue TBD (Double Thanks Dana!)

    If they’re both at Walnut Creek, I’ll buy a few Mega-Tickets again! Nick and I didn’t renew them last year because it was all the same.

  • 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 for me to get there to party.)

    They cover everything from country to rock ‘n’ roll and have a great stage presence. Check out their website, facebook, or twitter for more updates!

    Here’s the skinny from City Limits:

    Thursday, December 3rd, City Limits Saloon welcomes the hell raisin’ party band Spare Change! With covers of everything from country and rock to rap and beach, it’s gonna be a Thursday you don’t want to miss!See ya there!

  • Lincoln Theatre is Adding Liquor to its Lineup!

    Downtown Raleigh’s Lincoln Theathre – Awesome.
    Only serving beer – NOT Awesome.

    Just received an email today that they will be adding liquor to their lineup, but now they must become a “members only” club (NC law), so be sure to sign up for their membership/email list online.

    This is one of my favorite live music venues in the area because the main level is a bit slanted, so there’s pretty much a good view for everyone (which, as you know, is important for those of girls who are 5′ 2”). I’ve seen several shows there including Shooter Jennings (son of Waylon Jennings, better known as the “Fourth of July song” guy), Jason Michael Carroll‘s album launch party, the Zac Brown Band street concert, etc.

  • Zac Brown Band Coming to Cary

    It’s a little messed up that they backed out of the State Fair, but I guess I won’t hold a grudge… and will still put their next local show on my calendar.

    Via ZBB email today:

    The Breaking Southern Ground Tour 2009
    Kicking off September 24th in Cary, NC.

    Tickets on sale August 14th, 2009
    (Thanks for the advance notice guys… *insert sarcastic look here*.)

    Thank goodness it’s a Thursday concert and doesn’t interfere with weddings (Nikki and Randy’s that weekend) and wait for it… college football (NCSU vs. Pittsburgh)!

  • Thrilled!

    This fall is going to be one heck of a concert season, all in one NC State Fair’s span, too!

    If you don’t want to watch the whole video, here’s the country-heavy (and very much Lisa approved) lineup:

    Thursday 10/15 – Jason Michael Carroll($5)

    Friday 10/16 – Third Day ($15)

    Saturday 10/17 – Kellie Pickler ($10)

    Tickets go on sale Aug. 3rd at 10am. You will also need admission tickets to the fair to get into any show.

    Seriously though, DO NOT MISS your chance to see JMC, Jamey, Blake, and Eric for $25. Might as well get Julianne, Kellie, and Temptation tickets, too since you’ll be saving so much 😉

    PS – Thursday, Oct. 22 is intentionally blank because the artist has backed out of their contract. The State Fair is working on a replacement.

  • 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.

  • 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 better stood in the way), the Lincoln Theatre has (LOVE them though, so I’m glad it’s them) for a block party this Sunday.

    Johnny Orr & the South Station Band and Coastline Band (both are great NC groups!) will also be parts of this cool event. Tickets are only $20 in advance, $25 day of.

    Here are the full details:
