About this blog


This is my blog on the arts scene of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and surrounding Triangle communities. I'll focus on visual arts and the 2ndFriday Artwalk and other visual art events but that doesn't mean I won't chat about music, literary events, film or anything else in the local creative world. Please email with ideas, links, comments or brickbats. [I have comment moderation on so if you don't see your comment right away that means that I haven't had a chance to approve it yet. Sorry, but the spammers.....]

Love Language and more.....

The Triangle Music Scene has the scoop on the Love Language tour with two cool videos (one I'll link to below).  More importantly, Carrboroites, is that the LL are playing at our beloved Cat's Cradle on Saturday, this Saturday, January 15th.  Be there with tickets in hand.  UPDATE:  Ack, if you don't have tix you are out of luck as it's a sellout!  Well done folks!  (But then again I have my ticket.)

Still there's plenty of good music coming up.  At the Cradle, Yo La Tengo Saturday Jan 23 is sold out (you can't have my ticket to that one either) but the Sunday show is still available.  Alejandro Escovedo, who lived in the area for a while in the late 90s, early 00s, is back on Jan 27th.  Down the road, our own Superchunk will play Mar 4th followed by Greg Brown the following night.  Then there is a solo acoustic show from Citizen Cope (tix on sale this Friday the 14th) for an Apr 14th show.

At Local 506 Mandolin Orange plays Jan 22 followed by the wonderful, oddball Jonathan Richman who returns on Feb 25.  In between, on Feb 5th, you've got a chance to see Ted Leo (of the Pharmacists) and Mac McCaughan (Superchunk and Merge Records).  (Due to a family emergency the Ted Leo concert has been postponed/canceled.)

At the ArtsCenter you've got Solas on Jan 28 followed by Bettye LaVette the following night.


Okay, that's enough for now so I leave you with the Love Language doing sparxx on Wrightsville Beach under the pier....
