Tiny City
Tiny City is an indie rock band, carving a fresh path between post-punk and power pop. From Charlotte, NC, four best friends, Derek (vox, drums), Brendan (guitar, keys, vox), Caleb (guitar), and Nick (bass), are on a quest to redefine the listening experience. Danceability, driving riffs, captivating choruses, and an eclectic perspective on music and sound define Tiny City. Often likened to the musical stylistic of Spoon and Pavement and drawing influence from a wide array of musical pioneers, from legends like Talking Heads and Otis Redding to modern greats Modest Mouse to The Strokes, Tiny City’s sound is familiar, yet unique in all ways. The human experience, curiosity, monotony, life, death. I hope it’s with you.

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.
