Azul
Azul is a queer Latinx musician that oscillates from tender moments of grief and love to disco dance bops, music numbers on betrayal, and the stress of living in our modern world. Oh and sometimes it is in Spanish. She sings and plays trumpet with her best friends and her goal is to always connect with her listeners.
After releasing her debut original EP in 2021 “The View From Here,” Azul has played all over NC and opened for several nationally touring acts. The INDY Week said about her debut single, “Magic,” “Magic” feels like a true pop song—lush, catchy, persuasive, and full of the kind of pent-up drama that makes the quest for greater belief and optimism feel fresh. Zapata’s voice is bold and reaching; this is a single with the thrill of a big beginning.”

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.

Lillie Mae
Music has always been a major part of Lillie Mae’s life. At the age of 3, Mae started performing and playing with her family band at churches, fairs, festivals and theme parks. The family moved to Nashville when she was 8, expanding their profile and her own experience as traveling and performing became the norm.
At age 14, Lillie Mae and her siblings formed the band Jypsi and signed with Arista Records. They garnered two Top 40 singles on Billboard’s Hot Country chart however, that success didn’t last. The fickleness of the major label system caused Jypsi’s album to be shelved before it was released.
Lillie Mae would go on to find success as a studio musician, performing with many top musicians, including Dwight Yoakam, the Grammy-nominated Michael Kiwanuka, Dean Fertitta and Jack White. She met the Third Man crew when White’s long-time engineer Josh Smith suggested that she and her sister Scarlett record for The Lone Ranger soundtrack. Around that time, White was putting the finishing touches on his solo debut, Blunderbuss, and enlisted Mae to perform on “Take Me With You When You Go.” White then invited Lillie to join his all-female touring band and with Jypsi on hiatus, she accepted the offer.
Those journeys with White brought her to some of the biggest festival and concert halls in the world. From Neil Young’s legendary Bridge School benefit show to playing fiddle for Robert Plant and even opening for him. When touring commenced with White, she’d go on to release two albums via his Third Man Records label – 2017’s Forever and Then Some and 2019’s Other Girls.
In 2021, Lillie Mae got to work on her next album Festival Eyes with Texas producer Beau Bedford and her family serving as her backing band. The eight track collection is set for release in late 2023. Lillie Mae also performs select dates with Jim Lauderdale & The Game Changers.
