Sam on Someday
Sam on Someday is an ongoing live music series hosted by Time Sawyer’s Sam Tayloe that brings together diverse songwriters and musicians in collaborative performances. The show always shines a spotlight on songwriting, whether it’s freshly minted songs by local songwriters, or favorite covers.
Musical guests include fan favorites from the Charlotte and North Carolina music community, as well as touring bands and artists.
Each Sam on Someday is a unique, one-time-only event that is not to be missed. It’s a genre-busting experience where a rapper, a banjo player, a folk singer, a violinist and a blues guitarist might share the stage and create something completely new together.
The project started as a weekly livestream every Sunday during the pandemic but has since grown and flourished as live events at some of Charlotte’s great music venues. Now it can show up anywhere and anytime, so “Sam on Sunday” has become “Sam on Someday.”
But one thing hasn’t changed: Sam on Someday is still a way to reconnect with live music and with friends in an intimate setting. It’s a warm and welcoming celebration of Charlotte’s music scene.
Through his full band vehicle, Time Sawyer, Sam Tayloe blends a grassroots feel with heart-felt lyrics. From introspective ballads to high-energy crowd-pleasers, Time Sawyer’s songs land in that rootsy sweet spot where folk, alt-country and rock gather for a good time.

Coughing Dove
Coughing Dove is Charlotte, North Carolina visual artist Nicholas Holman & friends. Rooted in a mess of jangly pop, rattly sound experiments and dusty fingerpicked surrealist folk, a recent turn toward left field country on “You & Me Lee” makes for entrancing, panoramic storytelling.
https://linktr.ee/coughingdove

Clementine Was Right
Clementine Was Right is the songwriting project of poets Mike Young and Gion Davis. Chronicling years of uprooting—from Northern California to New England, Alaska to New Mexico—the music gallops and sways through hook-smeared bootgaze and western emo.
The band has been featured in Stereogum, Paste, Brooklyn Vegan, and more, and they’ve shared bills with Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties (Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years), Sadie Dupuis (of Speedy Ortiz), Nat Baldwin (of Dirty Projectors), and many others.

Jude Brothers
Jude Brothers is a folk derived singer-songwriter from Arkansas, with a penchant for whimsy and tender heartedness. Brothers’ distinct writing style is marked by congenial contrasts: passionate & playful, calculated & relaxed, approachable & quirky.
Their lyrics communicate a simultaneous existential dread and intoxicating thrill of living and loving, a practice in raw and shameless vulnerability shared through song. All of this is transmitted through nimble vocal frolicking– a shapeshifter voice crawling, leaping, pirouetting through a mystical landscape of their own creation.

Songbirds is a songwriters in the Round style show featuring three local award-winning powerhouse songbirds: Pam Taylor, Lisa DeNovo & Jade Moore.
It’s been almost a decade since these ladies have shared the stage together. This show is a “must see”.

Pam Taylor
Whatever your preferred taste is in music, Pam serves it up with her masterful genre-crossed songwriting and guitar riffs. It’s all topped off with her “Peace & Love” groovy vibes.
Pam’s debut record Hot Mess hit #1 on the Roots Music Report and #25 on the Living Blues Charts, making a name for herself in the blues scene in 2012.
Her sophomore release, Steal Your Heart earned her a coveted spot on Blues Rock Review’s Top 20 List for 2017. Blues-E-News featured her on their Women In Blues edition alongside Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi and many other blues legends. Although she got her foot in the door with the blues, she effortlessly steps in and out of that box.
Yes, It’s notable that she has over two decades of experience writing music, playing major festivals and touring internationally, however, it’s her enviable liveliness and stage presence that draws you in like a warm hug.
With her refreshing interpretation of modern blues, roots rock and everything in-between, her songs have a far reaching mass appeal.

Palmyra “Restless" Tour with special guest Joseph Terrell and TBD

Palmyra
Established in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives: Teddy Chipouras, Mānoa Bell, and Sasha Landon.
Palmyra straddles at least two musical worlds. They are, on one hand, a band from the South that plays traditional instruments and indeed once lived in the old-time locus of Floyd, Virginia. Comparisons to and a kinship with The Avett Brothers and even Old Crow Medicine Show are inevitable. On the other hand, Palmyra writes about grief, gender dysphoria and identity, and coming of age in songs that flirt with soul, post-rock, and even emo; the South, too, is the place of My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Cat Power, and now, Palmyra.
The band’s first full length LP, Restless, is out March 2025 on Oh Boy Records. Framed by moments of struggle, solidarity, and hard-won growth, Restless is an unqualified ringer for anyone who loves the space where the roar of indie rock collides with raw folk.
https://linktr.ee/palmyratheband

Joseph Terrell
Joseph Terrell has spent 10 years singing, writing songs, and playing guitar with Americana quartet Mipso. His debut solo album “Good For Nothing Howl” (Sleepy Cat Records) features talking roses, screaming oak trees, and the fortune-telling powers of persimmons. The result is a kaleidoscope of folk tradition and sonic playfulness with images of Terrell’s native North Carolina woods sparkling in the foreground.
