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.

Alan Charmer
Solo project of Terrence Richard, frontman of the hugely popular Charlotte alt-rock outfit Junior Astronomers, launched in 2021.As with many of the lyrics he wrote for Junior Astronomers, Richards makes it easy for listeners to identify with his tales, subbing in their own individual stories to be able to relate to the music.
Alan Charmer, the solo project that combines Richard’s middle name with the nickname of a beloved cousin, speaks softly yet strongly from the heart in a way that might only be possible for him in this format.

Ryan Lockhart
Ryan Lockhart is a South Carolina–born songwriter whose work bridges the intensity of the Southern hardcore scene and the restraint of traditional folk songwriting.
After emerging with Funeral Chic, he shifted his focus to stripped-down, narrative-driven folk music. His songs explore outsiders, ghosts, and heathen mythology—works of fiction, for legal purposes—told with restraint, dark humor, and a distinctly Southern perspective. He has released two EPs, Straitjacket Blues and The Finest Ugly Man In The South, along with the full-length album Son Of A Coal Miner’s Daughter. His writing is influenced by Bruce Springsteen and John Prine, emphasizing clarity, storytelling, and emotional weight.
Along the way, Ryan has opened for Tim Barry, Cory Branan, Sunny War, Yes Ma’am, Lightnin’ Luke, and Pete Bernhard.

The Montvales
Born and raised in Knoxville, TN, Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson of The Montvales spent much of their formative years busking amidst the Elvis impersonators and musical saw players of the town’s Market Square, honing their uniquely boisterous harmonies and perfecting the art of people-watching. Some fifteen years later, the two are still at it-maintaining their study of the robust chaos of the commons as they tour the country playing their descriptive, textured songs on the self-described “feral outskirts of country music.” Their lyrics tackle everything from heartbreak to gentrification to abortion rights, pulling audiences in alongside their well-worn harmonies and nearly telepathic musical connection.

Blue Cactus
Rooted in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Blue Cactus got their start among the active honky-tonk circuit, developing an electrified twang that now branches out effortlessly into folk, alt-country, and psychedelic-tinged rock. Having released three records to critical acclaim, they have grown a cult following in the South and beyond, their introspective lyricism and blistering guitar techniques making the band potent in the studio and on stage. Their 2025 album Believer was hailed in Bandcamp’s Best New Country list and earned them slots on SXSW, Hopscotch Fest’s main stage opening for Geese and My Morning Jacket, and PBS’ new original series, Shaped By Sound. Blue Cactus have toured throughout the US, developing a dedicated cult following. From intimate clubs to major festival stages, Blue Cactus is known for connecting deeply with audiences wherever they go.

Sneaky Miles
Sneaky Miles is an indie folk band formed in the fall of 2019. Originally a trio—Kevin O’Brien, Patrick Fitzgibbons, and Jake Gagne—the band found each other through open mic nights at the University of New Hampshire. Since forming, Sneaky Miles has quickly become a local powerhouse in the New Hampshire Seacoast music scene.
While the band began as a stripped-down trio, Sneaky Miles has since expanded their live sound by teaming up with additional members on drums, bass, and pedal steel. The result is a high-energy performance and a sound that feels bigger than the sum of its parts, blending heartfelt storytelling with driving folk-rock arrangements.
Their latest album, Cowboys, Songbirds, and Other Tales of Sorrow (2024), showcases the band’s growth both sonically and lyrically, cementing their place in the modern indie folk landscape.
Sneaky Miles has shared the stage with The Backseat Lovers, Trampled by Turtles, Coyote Island, Dr. Dog, Will Evans, Wheatus, Rayland Baxter, Wild Rivers, and The Deslondes. Notable performances include Borderland Festival (2025), Leavitt Festival (2025), and they’ve played the BNHP “Little Hazy” B Stage before Caamp and The Lumineers (2022).
For fans of Caamp, Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, and The Head and the Heart, Sneaky Miles delivers a sound rooted in community, connection, and cathartic live shows.
