Community Guidelines: By entering this space, you agree to the the following guidelines:
1) While all are welcome, this gathering is by and for sapphics. Non-sapphics: be mindful of how you take up space.
2) UltraViolet is trans-inclusive and gender-expansive.
3) UltraViolet is an answer to the lack of safe spaces for queer women+ and female-presenting people to exist free of the male gaze. Leave it at the door, or leave.
4) Consent first – on and off the dance floor.
5) Minimize phone use, pictures, and video recording on the dance floor.
6) If you feel uncomfortable or need support, ask for assistance. If you notice someone struggling, say “hello” and offer support.
7) Respect the staff at Petra’s. They reserve the right to remove individuals who are unwilling or unable to abide by the community or venue guidelines. They also determine when we’ve reached capacity.
8) Anyone who leaves the venue forfeits their place and will have to wait in line if attempting to re-enter when we’ve reached capacity.

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.

Ten02
Ten02 is a young, energetic band whose melodic vocals and rock inspired guitar create a modern take on alternative music.
‍
Fresh off of their third American tour with dates spanning coast to coast, Ten02 is quickly gaining traction, expanding outside of their normal Western Canadian tour stops where the group cultivated their routes for a number of years. Ten02 has shared the stage with notable Canadian acts such as Dan Davidson, Hotel Mira, The Monowhales, Scenic Route to Alaska, and many others.
Dipping into multiple different genres, this young band’s single “Cherry Sunrise” contains a blend of sounds from different era’s, mixing 90’s rock inspired guitar, with vocals containing more of a modern indie feel. Their newest release “Francais” is a fun, upbeat indie tune that shows the bands youth and energy.

Bourbon Sons
Bourbon Sons thrive in the sweet spot between country grit and Southern rock swagger, pairing lived-in storytelling with sharp hooks, big guitars, and a sense of humor that never takes itself too seriously. Rooted in tradition but built for the modern road, their music balances emotional weight with good-time energy.
After years of touring Europe, playing iconic stages, and opening for artists like Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, and Jelly Roll, Bourbon Sons have earned a reputation as a band that delivers, both live and on record. Writing, recording, mixing, and mastering everything themselves, they maintain complete creative control, letting each release sound exactly like who they are.
