Fans in central NC had much anticipation heading into this show. The band was originally scheduled to play in April 2020, but COVID changed all of our plans. We were all stoked when this performance was rescheduled. Lincoln Theatre is one of the best places to catch bands on the rise before they hit the big time. Indications point to POTR one day headlining amphitheaters - so go see them in theaters while you can!

Since  late 2019 and going into 2020, the covid-19 pandemic has been an economic monster globally, stalling not only production and supply chains, sending people home from their offices to work remotely and even bringing much of what entertains people, in the US to a grinding halt in 2020.  Especially hard on the entertainment and music communities.

While Nashville was in the midst of the 2021 Americana Music Festival and conference, this past week, in The Piedmont of North Carolina we were treated to a visit from Son Volt, a band born like a phoenix from the ashes and dust of the band Uncle Tupelo, the great pioneers of the Americana genre.

Opening the show was a local North Carolina artist, Florence Dore, of Chapel Hill, who told the crowd that she had just started writing songs again after a 16 year hiatus.

It's been a while since Todd Snider brought the joy to Raleigh's Lincoln Theatre, 896 days to be exact, since that last show in March 2019, back when things were a bit less complicated. Of course he had planned to play here in May of last year, but you know, stuff happens, and we were instead blessed to have had Todd in our homes many Sundays during that period with his What It Is and The Get Together(s) live-streamed from The Purple Building in East Nashville.
