Greetings from our founder, Big Blog:
This is the space where we make a whole bunch of promises and huff and
puff about how great we are and how what we have can't be beat and all
like that. Okay,consider it done. Now that's out of the way, let's get
down to business. What we're going to try to do here is give you the
best musical coverage in the area. You've heard that before, I'm
sure. But we think our approach is a bit different.
First of all, ours is a pretty good sized area. We're going to attempt to cover live music from Charlotte to Raleigh
with some points inbetween and some points farther out. Obviously,
in an area that big, we can't do it all, but after thirty some odd, and
I do mean odd, years of chasing musical events all over the state and
writing for a slew of publications, we think we can figure out where
the best or sometimes the most offbeat musical stuff is lurking. Our
coverage will consist of interviews with and previews of local, regional
and national artists performing in the area. We'll even throw in a
record review once in awhile. Our goal is to give you an overview of
the best musical events throughout the state on a weekly basis.
And that's all you'll get here. We don't give a damn about politics,
art, sports or anything else. Well, we do, but not in this space. It's
all about music. We hope you'll like it and come to visit often.
As you can see, we're in our infancy, and our first efforts may be
kind of rough, but our ears are in the right place,and we hope you'll
enjoy what we're hearing and talking about. Thanks for coming. Now sit
back and enjoy the show.

ArtsCenter Carrboro
Sacred Steel guitarist Aubrey
Ghent is gospel royalty. His uncle, Willie Eason, is credited
with bringing the steel guitar into the House of God Church in the
'30s replacing the organ in their church services. An
ordained minster, Ghent
brings the gospel message in song with an upbeat, rocking style that
blows the doors off any church experience you've ever had. He's the
inspiration and role model for Robert Rudolph, The Campbell Brothers , The Lee
Boys and other sacred steel purveyors who have helped to bring the music out of
the church and into the public eye.
