What’s Up, CLT Scene & Beyond!,
It’s a new week to get back to the regular schedule on, and after a short break, RF20XX is ready to ride again onto the rest of June.
As of this moment, as for our readership on this website and on much of our social media, we’ve beaten 2020 in views as well as those that choose to follow us on our various channels. Being an independent platform, I can’t express the depth of gratitude I have for you, the audience, whether you’ve been with us over the past few years or you’re new to what we do here. NONE of this would even be remotely possible if not for the people that continue to make it happen, the music scene itself and the artists that push to get their voices out there, even during 2020. It’s an extreme pleasure to work with the independent music scene at our home in Charlotte, NC, as well as many of the artists we’ve grown to love and listen to from Beyond our city & borders.
The goals for this month, and the rest of the year, is to continue to do what we do best, but also start to try out different content that brings readers & listeners closer to other facets of culture within the Queen City, be on the lookout as those drops come (can technically have already started).
Two Quick Announcements: As the pandemic continues to dissipate, venues have been dropping their re-open dates left & right. The latest two are closest to our hearts, and just so happen to be down the road in Plaza-Midwood:
Petra’s Bar: August 1st, 2021
Snug Harbor: June 24th, 2021
Keep up with them on their social media pages for more to come, including show announcements and other past events making a return!!!
That all being said, here’s what you might have missed in the past couple weeks!!!
