JULIA.
Bringing DOWN the Pour House on a Saturday night.
Their new single, "Performing For You," is officially OUT! This track is a fresh dose of their signature rock hard funk—a product of pure local talent from Torin Alston, Alex Jolly, Sean Meehan, Elijah Melanson, and Charles Rhew.
Every note on that record, from the fat grooves recorded at The Car Shop to the final master by Chris Boerner, hits different.
You can stream "Performing For You" anywhere you get music

JULIA Perform For You

Béla Fleck & The Flecktones with
Jeff Coffin and Sierra Hull!
The Carolina Theatre - Durham, NC
12/17/25

Get ready for a truly monumental, once-in-a-generation night of music tomorrow, Wednesday, December 17th, at the Carolina Theatre of Durham! While we send huge well wishes to Howard Levy, who is unfortunately unable to perform due to a health issue, the show must go on—and the Flecktones are pulling out all the stops for their "Jingle All The Way" Tour. The original core, featuring banjo legend Béla Fleck, Victor Wooten, and Roy "Future Man" Wooten, will still be bringing an amazing night of music, spanning their wild and beloved catalog. They are thrilled to be joined by special guests Jeff Coffin and the throat-singing ensemble Alash. Even more exciting for our EZ Vibes crowd: they are welcoming the supremely talented mandolinist Sierra Hull to the lineup!

Get ready to deck the halls and shake your holiday blues because the 2025 Christmas Yarn Ball is happening this Friday, December 19th, at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh. The Grammy-recognized American roots music band, Yarn, founded by Blake Christiana, is known for their high-energy blend of Americana, Alt-Country, and Rock and Roll.

Bring Out Yer Dead - 12/21/25
Raleigh's own premier Grateful Dead tribute band, Bring Out Yer Dead, is back at the Lincoln Theatre this Sunday. Formed by a collective of talented local musicians in 2019, they've earned a strong reputation for "resurrecting the Grateful Dead's legendary live performances with an authenticity that's nothing short of remarkable". This isn't just a cover band—it's a high-energy journey through the Dead's entire catalog, promising a fun, communal celebration.
