Each week during the month of July, Records On The Wall and Time2Fly Music will be featuring two of the eight music venues around Charlotte we are raising money for while they are still closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Our independent music venues in Charlotte are in dire need of funds to keep their operations afloat and many may have to close their doors for good. A thriving music scene requires that a market have ample accommodations for bands of all sizes and these Charlotte venues are critical in that role.
This week we’ll be featuring the Skylark Social Club and The Evening Muse. We provide some background information on each venue below in addition to three different ways you can contribute.
“These entertainment hubs are critical to their local economies and tax bases as employers, tourism destinations, and revenue generators for neighboring businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and retail. Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open.” — NIVA (National Independent Venue Association
Skylark Social Club
2131 Central Ave, Charlotte, NC 28205
Capacity: 100
The Skylark Social Club finds its home on Central Ave in Charlotte, next door to Midwood Country Club and Resident Culture Brewing.
The venue was started by three friends (Taylor Arthur, Justin Driscoll and Joshua Taddeo) in 2017 at the former home of the long-running gay bar, Central Station.
The Skylark is a rock n’ roll venue at heart and regularly hosts rock, punk, ska, and metal shows, primarily by local and regional bands.
The Evening Muse
3227 N Davidson Street, Charlotte, NC 28205
Capacity: 120
One of the best sounding rooms in Charlotte, The Evening Muse has been a can’t miss venue for national acts crossing through the Southeast since its inception.
The Evening Muse opened its doors in the NoDa neighborhood in April of 2001 and thanks to the music-loving citizens of Charlotte and venturous visitors to our fair city, the Muse has had the opportunity to present literally thousands of original independent music acts since opening.
From our own Carolinas music scene to performers from all corners of the globe, an amazing array of artists have graced our stage: from acoustic music to full electric bands; alternative, Americana, blues, country, folk, hip-hop, jazz, pop, reggae, rock, R&B – and where it all begins, with the songwriter.
