Mercury Dimes
Mercury Dimes aren’t totally sure how to answer the question of genre. Indie, punk, folk… they’ve even been called Art Rock. They’ve been compared to The Pixies, to Alanis Morisette, to the Breeders… what brings their sound together is the sincerity that runs through it all. They love to write and perform music that feels real, lyrics that the audience can understand, and songs that bring you to unexpected places. They aren’t trying to be anybody but themselves- so maybe that difficulty of labelling their music is exactly where they want to be.

Rotoglow
Rotoglow, the loud and melodic rock ‘n’ roll band formed in Fairfax, Virginia in 2000, continues to make waves in the music scene. The band, composed of Conrado Bokoles, Dave Cannon, Andrew Hellier, and John Kenney, initially garnered attention with their relentless touring schedule from 2000 to 2006. During these years, they headlined clubs along the East Coast, graced the stages of the 2001 Warped Tour, supported OutKast on the “Stankonia” tour, and performed at Baltimore’s WHFStival at RFK Stadium. Their robust live performances earned them opportunities to open for prominent bands such as Everclear, Cracker, Lit, and Sponge.

Bounce Twerk Wine (BTW) is Charlotte’s unapologetic dance floor escape where the bass hits your chest, your knees get tested and your worries don’t make it past the door. From New Orleans bounce to Jamaican dancehall, Afrobeats and the best twerk anthems from the 99 & the 2000s, the soundtrack is pure movement. BTW is more than a party it’s a full‑body release, a celebration and a space where every beat dares you to drop it just a little lower.
On Friday, September 26th from 8 PM to Midnight, Petra’s in Plaza Midwood transforms into a high‑energy, no‑wallflower zone. Expect a crowd that dances like nobody’s watching, DJs who know how to keep the floor packed and a night that feels like a sweaty, beautiful blur of laughter, rhythm and connection. Whether you come to bounce, twerk or wine, you’ll leave feeling lighter, freer and already waiting for the next one.

Petite League
Living together in famed Syracuse house venue Scarier Dome hosting shows for touring bands, producing live video sessions, starting a screen printing business while also learning the ins-and-outs of self-recording and releasing records was the foundational stepping stone upon which Petite League was created.
Lorenzo Gillis Cook, songwriter and composer, along with drummer Henry Schoonmaker, came out of the gates swinging with their signature infectious lo-fi power pop releasing their two first records before graduating from college that same year. Petite League’s melodic sun kissed brand of indie rock started the buzz right away with some immediate industry, streaming, and publication recognition which helped propel the band forward from the jump.
The band continued to shape itself into a staple of the New York indie rock scene as the band moved to Queens in 2016 enlisting the help of other ex-Scarier Dome residents Adam Greenberg and Kevin McCallum as part of the live band. The DIY mindset of operating Scarier Dome is still the backbone of what Petite League runs on to this day as they continue to release music prolifically, cultivate their online presence, and tour throughout the United States.

Juan Wauters
After spending the majority of his adult life thus far in New York, Juan Wauters decides to revisit his native Montevideo, the culturally rich capital of Uruguay. Wauters explored the excitement of falling back in love with his birthplace on his subsequent record, 2023’s Wandering Rebel, but on his seventh studio album MVD LUV — due June 27 via Captured Tracks — Wauters doesn’t just introduce listeners to Montevideo; he invites them to feel at home within it.
Having spent much of his career in the United States, Wauters has long carried the dual identity of immigrant and native son. With MVD LUV, a love letter to both his roots and his present, he set out to bridge those worlds by capturing the essence of Montevideo’s streets and communal spirit. Wauters recorded the album between January and October 2024 in various locations across the city, from his own JPW Studios to bustling sidewalks, rooftops, and the homes of featured artists. Having worked in the past with US-based indie favorites like Frankie Cosmos, Mac DeMarco, and Nick Hakim, MVD LUV fills out Wauters’ performances with a crew of local musicians including co-producer Leandro Aquistapacie, Mateo Ottonello, Cecilia “Checha” Rodríguez, and Manuel Silva. Wauters mixed and mastered the record with Nicolás Demczylo at Los Aliados Estudio. Together, these all-Uruguayan artists blend Wauters’ rootsy brand of delightfully simple folk-pop with traditional elements emblematic of the country. Songs like the lively “La Lucía” introduces listeners to candombe, a communal music and dance tradition; recorded spontaneously, it feels less like a studio track and more like a snapshot of a real-life encounter. Meanwhile, “Aeropuerto” and “Siempre Vuelven” evoke sentimentality through murga rhythms, another traditional style of drum-heavy music that’s prominent in Uruguayan culture. The result is immediately immersive, the sprawling coastal city of Montevideo becoming more than just a setting. On MVD LUV, the city is an active presence in the music, a character in itself.
There’s a sort of pressure you can feel when returning to your hometown after a stint away; you want to be the best version of you, with some tangible evidence that you’ve made a name for yourself. Wauters has no doubt achieved that. But he’s just as susceptible to self-doubt as anyone, and on songs like “Dime Amiga,” he begins to fully realize the safety net of unconditional love he’s built for himself, layering conversational lyrics over a warm, rhythmic arrangement: “Tell me friend, how are you?/Tell me, why are you crying?” he asks in Spanish, spotlighting the power of being fully honest in a place that wholeheartedly accepts you as you are. As years pass and relationships and communities evolve, Wauters suggests, there may be a lingering fear that your place of origin will one day feel foreign. But, as he also exhorts on MVD LUV: ”There are times to fly and get lost and there are also times to return.” Wherever you are, music and love can often make you feel right at home. On MVD LUV, Wauters brings his home, Uruguay, to the global stage.

kissing other ppl ft. Rachel Baiman + Viv & Riley
While on tour together in 2022, Durham based folk duo Viv & Riley, and Nashville-based singer/songwriter Rachel Baiman talked about the recent records that they had enjoyed. Each time one person would bring up a beloved album or song, another would chime in with enthusiastic agreement, and with hours in the van to daydream, and hours on stage to enjoy harmonizing together, the three began to scheme about recording some covers together.
In June of 2023, producer Greg Griffith (Amy Ray, Vitapup, The Butchies) invited the newly imagined trio to spend a week in Connecticut at his home and studio. The idea was to explore some cover songs and see what the sound of the project might be, with no expectation of a finished product
As the three began working out an arrangement for Lennon Stella’s “Kissing Other People”, sitting cross legged on the floor in Griffith’s living room, Griffith stealthily placed microphones, as well as a vintage camcorder in the room. What emerged was a completely live take of the song, organic and full of magic. The recording set the tone for what followed, an 8 track album of covers ranging from cult favorites like Magnolia Electric Company, Dr. Dog and Joan Armatrading, to modern but lesser-known writers like Waylon Payne.
With Griffith’s influence, the project explored more analog, indie and grunge sounds than any of the individual artist’s previous work. The recording captures the beautifully uncaged feeling of the collaboration in real-time, as Leva switches to playing drums for “Hold on Magnolia”, and Baiman plays a wildly dissonant guitar solo on “Easy Rider”. Every idea was attempted, and every song was captured in real time.
Kissing Other PPL is a project about openness to exploration, collaboration, and creativity above technicality. It finds a trio of accomplished musicians that seeks to unlearn boundaries of perfection and find the best sound for the given song in the given moment.

Danielle Howle
A lifelong artist and natural storyteller, Howle has lived a million lives in one, releasing well over a dozen studio albums in a four-decade career that has traversed genres, styles, and cultures, encompassing everything from country-swamp-blues and jazz to folk, southern rock, indie, and Americana – all while endlessly exploring the depths of the human condition. She’s opened for legends like Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt, and was a close friend of the late singer/songwriter Elliott Smith, but Howle doesn’t focus on, nor does she live in the past: Her head and her heart are in the present, as is made abundantly clear throughout her highly anticipated sixteenth studio album, Current (out November 2023 via Kill Rock Stars Nashville).

Heidi Sidelinker
Heidi Sidelinker can draw a hush across whatever crowd she is in front of, whether in a music venue, an outdoor festival, a wine lounge, or a living room; whether with a full band, in a duo, or playing solo with her 12-string guitar. Her music career has taken her to decades in NYC, touring across the country and Europe, through various musical projects, into motherhood, and toward a mastery and maturity that characterize especially her newest work.

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.

Pressing Strings
When music is given the benefit of instinct, imagination and inspiration, the results are guaranteed to be good. So it ought to come as no surprise that the critically-acclaimed Annapolis Maryland-based trio, appropriately dubbed Pressing Strings, has infused those elements within their musical mantra the beginning. The band —Jordan Sokel (Guitar/Vocals), Nick Welker (Bass, Vocals), Justin Kruger (Drums, Vocals) can trace its origins to Sokel’s initial fascination with some iconic influences, among them, the usual suspects — Dylan, Marley, Simon, Withers, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, etc., as well as some more under the radar artists like Taj Mahal, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Nick Drake.
Fascination became fulfillment once he picked up the guitar and started writing songs. That’s when his course became clear. After growing up in New Jersey and Arizona, he eventually moved to Arnold, Maryland to attend high school and eventually university at Salisbury University. However once there, he found he began having doubts about his career choice. That’s when he made it his mission to pursue his musical muse. Still in college, he formed Pressing Strings with one of his buddies. Those early efforts, beginning in 2006, found Sokel’s desire and determination taking hold, eventually coalescing into a career that now spans seven albums — Where We Are (2008), Episodes (2010), Pressing Strings (2012), Life of a Tree (2013), Owe the Source (2015), Settle In (2020) — and two EPs — Most of Us (2016) and Morning Takes (2021), and they moist recent “…And I for You.”
