There seems to be some glimmer of light at the end of the COVID tunnel for working/touring musicians. 

ELLERBE — Thursday evening was a night of firsts.

It was the first outdoor concert at the Berry Patch this year; and it was the first gig for the Beach Fever Band.

I was going through our bedroom closet the other day looking for something and I found a stash of my old records. Remember records? 

As many of you know, we lost a lot of our musical heroes in 2020: Neal Peart, Kenny Rogers, Bill Withers, John Prine, Little Richard, Eddie Van Halen, Charlie Pride and Leslie West — just to name a few.  

HAMLET — Singer/songwriter Edwin McCain recently recorded a Cameo video honoring late Richmond County first responder Don Paul.

PEMBROKE — Julia Merritt’s passion for music was undeniable. 

HAMLET —  “Who you gonna call” to go back in time? The Cole Auditorium has called the Southeast’s premier ’80s tribute band Cassette Rewind to perform Friday night to wrap up its fall outdoor concert series “Car”certs at the Cole. 

ROCKINGHAM — It was a picture-perfect fall day as several hundred people gathered together in honor of the late Pastor Ricky Jacobs. 

HAMLET — The Axe Handlers are up next on the outdoor stage at the “Car”certs at the Cole this Friday at 6 p.m.
