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.

Caleb Caudle & The Sweet Critters with Elonzo Wesley

Caleb Caudle
Caleb Caudle’s body of work is shaped from the ground up. His artistry has emerged through endurance and the steady momentum of a life in motion, carrying him from small stages in the North Carolina foothills he calls home, all the way to the Grand Ole Opry.
Now, Caudle is entering a pivotal chapter – one of a profound culmination where life and art converge in powerful ways. The recent discovery that he and his wife are going to be first-time parents has added a new perspective, full of the responsibility and wonder that welcoming a child into the world brings.
On his new album, Heavy Thrill, this personal evolution mirrors his artistic journey. He takes full creative control, self-producing for the first time while recording at the storied Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, Tenn., where reverence for tradition meets his singular artistic vision.
Heavy Thrill was mixed by Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Modest Mouse) and mastered by Pete Lyman (Chris Stapleton, John Prine), two of Caudle’s favorite engineers, who have over 40 Grammy nominations between them.
Caudle has brought his music to stages across the world, with standout appearances at festivals including Merlefest, Luck Reunion, Kerrville Folk Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Stagecoach, and Cayamo, alongside a run of critically acclaimed albums praised by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, No Depression, and Rolling Stone. He has made multiple appearances on NPR’s Mountain Stage and has been a guest DJ on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country, where his songs are in constant rotation. In the fall of 2024, Caudle reached a career-defining milestone, stepping into the circle at the Grand Ole Opry for the first time.

Whiskey Richards
Whiskey Richards is a smooth blend of folk, blues, and country. All the players are southern born and found each other in the Charlotte area of North Carolina. They are all avid music lovers and just want to spread the history of the music they love and share their original songs that come from the heart.

Lauren Lovelle & the Midnight Spliffs
Though her songs are often themed in heartbreak and loss, Lauren Lovelle has one great love that has sustained her entire life: country music; her love for its working-class, anti-fascist, indigenous, diverse roots, and the home she found in the endless plains, rolling creeks, smoky honky tonks, and in the arms of beloved friends.
