Raleigh, NC--Back Seat Confidential, the east coast’s only all-girl AC/DC tribute, brings their bodacious rock show to the Lincoln Theatre on Friday, September 3rd.

Raleigh, NC—My first thought as I listened to the latest album by Gilbert Neal, Vultures and Diamonds, was that he reminded me of someone. After a few tracks, I figured it out. It was none other than Mike Patton of Mr. Bungle/Faith No More stardom. At the same time, I can imagine Neal singing almost any style and pulling it off seamlessly. His voice is very versatile and has a soothing tone. It suits the jazzy sound his music provides very well, yet has a theatrical attribute to it. Neal’s crisp vocal tone makes it easy to understand the lyrics of each song while providing the emotion necessary to understand each song’s message.

Raleigh, NC—Jordan Okrend is only 19 years old, but you would never guess it judging from the level of talent displayed in his songwriting and vocal ability. His voice has a crystal clear tone to it that is popular in today’s mainstream.

Raleigh, NC—Who spends seven hours in 100 plus degree heat on purpose? Only the most devoted rock and roll fans, that’s who. Approximately 5,000 of those fans were present at Raleigh’s newest amphitheatre, which is located behind the new convention center in downtown Raleigh, to witness the madness that was the Carnival of Madness on Sunday, July 25th.

Raleigh, NC—We already know that Raleigh is a wealth of musical talent. The thing that never ceases to amaze me about it, though, is not just the amount of talent, but the diversity of styles throughout our big city. Just when I think I have heard it all, there is something else new and exciting.

Raleigh, NC--Jordan Okrend is a young musician who has always wanted to inspire people with music that carries a message of hope. At the age of 19, Jordan is getting ready to release an EP that he hopes will do just that.
