Arlo Guthrie
Event on 2012-02-23 19:30:00
Born into incredible artistic influence, Arlo Guthrie developed an expressive voice of the ‘60s generation that would shape music’s importance in bringing forth social justice and activism. In addition to being a masterful musician in piano, guitar, harmonica and a dozen other instruments, he is a natural-born storyteller, whose off-beat anecdotes and personal tales weave seamlessly into his performances. A career that has spanned decades and countries has confirmed Guthrie’s international stature and wide popularity.

Mike Cross Live at McGlohon Theater, Charlotte
Event on 2012-02-25 20:00:00
North Carolina singer, songwriter and storyteller is set to kick off his “Crossin’ Carolina” concert and new CD at Charlotte’s McGlohon Theater Concert on Saturday, February 25th, at 8pm.
Cross’s one-man, turbocharged stage show serves up a collection of humorous songs, sensitive ballads, Will Rogers-like tales, Delta blues, and fiery Celtic and Appalachian fiddle tunes.
Mike’s music is a unique blend of folk, blues, rock, country, and Irish, spiced with a good dose of wonderfully warped wit, which "crosses" all musical boundaries and defies categorization.
Mike’s Charlotte concert coincides with the release of his fourteenth CD, “Crossin’ Carolina” produced by Patrick Cross, guitarist for the internationally acclaimed Michael Jackson tribute band, “Who’s Bad.”
"I really enjoyed doing this new recording because it gave me a chance to work with my son, Patrick, who was able to take some time from his rigorous touring schedule to be the producer. To make it even sweeter, he also did some great guitar work on the project.” Cross said. “Listening to this disc is like taking a road trip where you encounter interesting characters and situations everywhere you stop along the way.”
Mike's return to the McGlohon Theater will be the first performance of his 2012 “Crossin’ Carolina Tour,” with upcoming concerts across the state including Greensboro, Durham, Winston-Salem, Morehead City and Wilmington.
Mike’s song “Carolina Calling” was featured by the NC Department of Tourism for a Visit North Carolina ad campaign. A song he wrote in 1973 called "The Scotsman" gained notoriety as the theme song for the Dr. Demento Radio Show, and "Leon McDuff" was recorded and performed by the Dirt Band for the first Farm Aid Concert.
Get you tickets early for an evening of music and laughter you will never forget!
