Charley Crockett and Leon Bridges at Red Hat

Raleigh showed up and showed out last Friday night for a double dose of Texas swagger with Charley Crockett and Leon Bridges! The Red Hat Amphitheater was packed and the energy was high from the moment the music started.

Kicking things off was Reyna Tropical who got the people moving with here latin grooves and powerful vocals. Charley Crockett and his incredible band, the Blue Drifters, transported the crowd with their signature sound. They played a fantastic set that had everyone grooving, including crowd favorites like "$10 Cowboy" and the soulful "Trinity River."

Leon Bridges then took the stage and delivered a masterclass in modern soul. He had the entire amphitheater in the palm of his hand, with his smooth vocals and timeless style. The crowd was singing along to every hit including Khruangbin collab “Texas Sun”

It's nights like these that remind us why the Raleigh music scene is so special!

Karl Denson Tiny Universe
Thursday - 9/18 at Bowstring Brewyard

Karl Denson is a living legend. Whether he's touring with The Rolling Stones or fronting his own band, he brings an undeniable energy and a masterful touch to every performance. Karl Denson's Tiny Universe is a funk and jazz powerhouse, known for their extended improvisations and tight-knit grooves.
This Thursday's show at Bowstring Brewyard is extra special because they'll be joined by guitarist Tom Hamilton, of Joe Russo Almost Dead. Hamilton's psychedelic, exploratory style is the perfect complement to Karl Denson. If you love a good jam that makes you want to dance all night, this is the show for you.

There’s something for everyone, with activities ranging from yoga to arts and crafts.

This amazing event is made possible by its dedicated volunteers, and the festival team is currently looking for a few more helping hands to join the fun.
