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.

The dance floor is juicy and we’re feeling fruity at UltraViolet Sapphic* Dance Party- who wants to be the cherry on top of all of this summer magic?!

*Sapphic is a term used in the LGBTQ+ community to describe women who are attracted to women (WLW), including those who identify as lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and queer. This list of sexual orientations and identities is not exhaustive. UltraViolet trans-inclusive and gender-expansive.
Featuring:
Music by @beecandyselects @blackasthecosmos @djclaypapa
@soy_labrava
Tarot by @banditibliss
Glam by @lexs.lethal.looks
Doodle portraits by @doodlemethis.art

Organized by @welcome_to_the_galexxy

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.
