Siege Hardee
C.J. “Siege” Hardee a multi-instrumentalist/producer/songwriter out of Charlotte, N.C. Siege started gigging at 15 with his band “Older Brother”. After that, Toured extensively nationally and internationally with “Matrimony” and “Bassh”. His new solo project (Siege Hardee) screams for the windows to be down. Grooves and underlying vibes of hope that reminds you of The Talking Heads and demand you nod your head.

Rock Eupora
Rock Eupora, the moniker for Mississippi-bred, Nashville-based artist Clayton Waller, has always been a heart-on-your-sleeve musical endeavor. From his earliest recordings, Waller has never been afraid to ask the big, searching questions of life. Catchy, hooky pop sensibilities have similarly been a consistent through-line in Rock Eupora’s catalogue. Featuring singable, fuzzed- out guitar hooks and stuck-in-your-head-all-afternoon choruses, the discography of Rock Eupora––including three full-length albums, two EPs, and a smattering of singles to date––brings to mind Blue Album-era Weezer or the high-energy, hard-charging, harmony-laden early Beatles singles.

The Pinkerton Raid
Songwriter Jesse James DeConto grew up in New England, with Dad’s guitar and Mom’s radio tuned to Soulsville, the Village, Liverpool and Laurel Canyon. Those inheritances mingle with foothills-folk in Durham, N.C., yielding songs Americana UK calls “anthemic.” Critics hear influences from Neil Young to The National. “You won’t be able to stop humming,” said No Depression.

Sam On Tuesday
Through his full band vehicle, Time Sawyer, Sam Tayloe is interested in “real people and real songs” and that’s just what the listener finds in his music – a sense of realness. Blending a grassroots feel with heart-felt lyrics, Tayloe pulls the listener in with introspective ballads that land in that rootsy sweet spot where folk, alt-country, and rock gather for a good time.
Sam started a variety livestream in 2020 (Sam on Sunday) that Time Sawyer brought back in 2021 for a second season with full band shows every other episode. The Livestream has reached over 150,000 and had over 100 guests from far and wide featured virtually on the show. The experience was a way for Sam and the band to better stay connected with their peers, make some new friends, keep ties strong with old friends, and help keep the ship afloat. As normalcy begins to return, Sam is ready to get back to doing what is most important to him musically, connecting face to face with listeners. He’ll see you at Petra’s.
For Sam, time is a muse for songwriting; it’s the thread that runs through life, bringing new experiences and giving us a sense of urgency, while still connecting us with our past. He has performed either solo or with Time Sawyer on the stages of some of the Southeast’s most iconic festivals, including Merlefest, Floydfest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Rhythm n’ Blooms, Carolina in the Fall and IBMA’s Bluegrass First Class sharing bills with the likes of Langhorne Slim, Phil Cook, Steep Canyon Rangers, The Wood Brothers, Joe Pug, John Moreland, and more.

Women's Winter Showcase
2022-12-01 19:00
A philanthropic night with live performances and cocktails, and conversation around women, sustainability, and wellness within our community.
Thursday, December 1st
Doors: 7pm | Show: 8pm
Tickets: $50 (includes entrance to a silent auction)
• 21+ with valid ID
Join the conversation surrounding food insecurities in the Carolinas, and what the women of this city can do to change the spiraling trajectory.
We are hosting a Winter Women’s Showcase to gather with like-minded women, enjoy the amazing sound of local female musicians, and take part in a silent auction featuring work from women-owned businesses.
Join us for cocktails, mingle with friends, and hear more on the effort to bridge the poverty gap in our food system here in the Carolinas.
This event is hosted by Carolina Farm Trust, a non-profit in Charlotte with a mission to strengthen an equitable local food system in the Carolinas from production to consumption. Most of the cities in the Carolinas struggle to purchase fresh, nutrient dense ingredients for their families. Gas stations and dollar marts are centered around convenience, but neglecting the need for healthy and nutritious foods. Carolina Farm Trust is building the infrastructure needed to pivot the current methods of which we “support” our impoverished cities, and reuniting the farmers with the consumers once again.
Won’t you come and be a part of the conversation? So much of what Carolina Farm Trust does is solely dependent on the purchasing power of women, the women who lead their families, who feed their families, and support their neighbors.
Purchase a ticket today and follow us on social media for more details on how to get involved with this mission.

North By North
Formed in 2012, North by North is the sweat-fueled rock & roll dream of two childhood friends from the south side of Chicago. Their music was forged through years of teen angst, twenty-something alienation and a profound belief that rock music can be genuinely clever and inventive. It’s a sound glued together by melodic hooks, soaring vocals, crushing guitar, bombastic drums and the kind of untethered energy that has won crowds over hundreds of shows and dozens of festivals across three countries.
To call Nate Girard (guitar, vocals) and Kendra Blank (drums) veterans of the road would be a massive understatement. They have toured full-time since 2016 and have played over 650 shows throughout the US, Canada and UK.
