 The EZ Vibes Update

What is good, EZ Vibes family! Evan here. March is officially upon us, and the transition into spring always brings a renewed, electric energy to the local scene. We are gearing up for a month of absolute heaters, and I am stoked to see all you head out of hibernation and back out on the town.

Whether we are packing into the smaller club shows in the Triangle or taking a road trip out to the mountains, remember that this scene is about more than just the notes played—it is about the community, checking in on each other's mental health, and finding those meditative, locked-in moments when the band is deep in the pocket. While we are based in the Triangle we are now covering the entire state of North Carolina now—from the Blue Ridge mountains in Asheville all the way to the beach out in Wilmy—so no matter where you are, we have got the vibe dialed in. Thanks for being here!

Featured Show of the Week

TONIGHT!

Lotus - Rise of the Anglerfish
Lincoln Theatre - Raleigh, NC

The ultimate space-funk odyssey is hitting downtown Raleigh. We just caught Lotus this past Thursday in Asheville at the legendary Orange Peel, and they are fully dialed in. Tim Palmieri has grown into a standout lead guitarist, and drummer Mike Greenfield had the room in an absolute frenzy. Lotus is legendary for transforming any space into a massive, pulsing dance party. Their live improvisation is tight, melodic, and guaranteed to melt faces. You do not want to miss this Tuesday night heater!
