Hi NC/SC Music fans: Tickets for these upcoming concerts at The Neighborhood Theatre are available in independent record stores in Charlotte & Huntersville ... you can pick them up or order by phone (704.309.2087); or on-line @ www.maxxmusic.com. Saturday, May 22nd @ 8:00 PM Junior Brown returns to the Neighborhood Theatre!!!! This one is being co-produced with Paul & Sharon of NT fame. We're not 100% sure yet but Mandy Barnett should open the show - she's being called the best female vocalist out of Nashville since Patsy Cline! And you get this all for $20.00 Saturday, June 26th @ 8:00 PM The Blotter Boys make their Neighborhood Theatre debut - they're the super-group consisting of Vassar Clements on violin; Buddy Cage (New Riders Of The Purple Sage/The Band/Bob Dylan) on pedal steel; Sammy Piazza (Stevie Ray Vaughn/Hot Tuna) on drums; Boyd Albritton (Quicksilver/John Lee Hooker/Buddy Miles) on guitar and Mike Sudderth (The Grass Roots/Billy Joe Royal) on bass. Tapers get ready - this is a deal at $15.00. Sunday, May 9th @ 8:00 PM Chris Whitley and Chris Knight The night of the Chrises ... I'm really excited about this one - Chris Whitley has been a favorite since the release of Living With The Law in 1991(I'm sure you remember the title track, Big Sky Country, Poison Girl, Dust Radio) and he's returned to that National Steel sound on his latest - Dirt Floor! Chris Knight's self-titled debut ranks right up there on my favorite of 1998 list - if you haven't heard it, think Steve Earle, Fred Eaglesmith ... just think about going out & buying it!! A night with the two Chrises will be $12.50. Thanks for supporting live music in Charlotte! Gregg McCraw MaxxMusic
