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.

Red Dress Amy
Born in Charlotte, NC and raised on rock n’ roll, Red Dress Amy brings a ton of energy to any stage they set foot on. Kevin Hamilton (guitar/vocals) and Dalton Monroe (drums/vocals) draw on influences such as Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Black Keys, and The White Stripes to cultivate their gritty, high-octane rock n’ roll. With their driving rhythms and fuzz-heavy guitar riffs, these guys cross generational audiences. Their sound is reminiscent of some of the iconic classic rock icons they grew up listening to while staying modern and relevant to younger audiences.

Mariah van Kleef
Extremely difficult to genre as a whole, Mariah van Kleef weaves together elements of bossa nova, folk, nordic ambience, some jazz influence, and, when the mood arises, a little dose of grunge. Perfectly capable of holding the stage alone; her new 4 piece band adds distinct levels of power, taste, and dynamism to her Siren-esque vocals and guitar, sweetly luring you into exhilarating territory.
https://linktr.ee/riah_ru

Boris & The Joy
Boris & the Joy’s indie-folk-electro-pop stylings shimmer with psychedelic undertones, soul-baring lyrics and intimate incantations of love and hope. With an acoustic, electric guitar and equal parts tender and surreal vocals, this project reflects the beauty and pain experienced in the journey of profound transformation.
Boris – singer, composer and guitar player has toured the world as the guitarist of gypsy-punk band Gogol Bordello for a decade while fronting his own unit Hey Guy. His life’s journey and the philosophy of joy are the fibers of the emotionally colorful Boris & the Joy.

Swansgate
Formed in small town in North Carolina by 3 close friends, Swansgate was originally set up in the likeness of a jazz trio. The musical direction of Stu Draughn manifested as a series of long, mostly instrumental, compositions for keys (Stu Draughn), drums (Michael McKinney), and bass (Gabe McKinney). Over time, the original direction of the band evolved into a more symphonic approach to making music. With more and more elements being added to each composition, Swansgate decided to enlist drummer Mike Kaloudis to replace Michael McKinney, so that he could commit to playing guitar, and keyboards.
https://www.swansgatemusic.com/

Echo Kid
Echo kid is a psychedelic rock and roll band formed in Philadelphia in the spring of 2020 by multi-instrumentalists Brendan McHale and Christian Turzo, longtime friends and collaborators and former members of Philly garage band RFA.
Blending the rich harmony of the Beatles, the hypnotic drone of the velvet underground, and the swaggering strut of the Rolling Stones, the band creates something unique—a potent distillation of 100 years of rock and roll history, equal parts modern and antique—both of the time and outside of it, “barroom rock and roll from outer space.” It’s red velvet curtain music, wood paneled music, music to dance to music to trance to, music to make you forget what it was you were about to say.

The Minks
The Minks are part of Nashville’s psychedelic music scene, heavy on the rock and roll. We’re talking low-down, all the way, purse-lipped, eyes-shut, head-whirling kind of groove. In 2015, on a search for creative community, Nikki Barber started the band based on the idea that “if you don’t create, you’ll combust”. Just like a rock and roll circus, you never know what you’re going to get, but you know it’ll be good. The band’s palpable sound has roots in every music fan’s top ten—from Lou to Patti to Creedence to Hank – but blends them into something totally original and current. Mixed with raw, jangly instrumentation and soulful saccharine vocals, it’s as much a throwback as it is an answer to the often overlooked underbelly of Nashville’s rock and roll scene. Look for them, on tour forever, spreading the gospel of letting your hair down and having a good time.
