It didn't take him long to recruit Catawba City songster Bill Noonan on vocals and acoustic guitar, and it just so happened that their long-time musical compadre Joe Turick had been busy woodshedding on steel guitar.

The Eyebrows

"The Eyebrows are a rock band from Charlotte, NC, whose quirky lyrics - coupled with manic-fuzz guitar, beer-soaked bass and a retro backbeat - have brought comparisons to the Talking Heads and Pixies with a touch of The Stranglers and Modern Lovers.Their name comes from a Frank Zappa quote: "The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows." Lead Eyebrow Jay Garrigan also has a set of pointy blonde, highly mobile eyebrows which have been the subject of some childhood ridicule. As an adult, Jay feels that "eyebrows, much like music, help us express things when we are at a loss for words... and these unsaid things can be both beautifully sculpted or tragically abused."

No strangers to the scene, The Eyebrows tracked and mixed their debut album, VOLUME, with legendary REM producer Mitch Easter at his Fidelitorium sound studio. Ten tracks have been mastered by Greg Calbi out of Sterling Sound in NYC, and the band plans to release the album themselves in August 2018 on vinyl, CD and digital formats."

The band was formed in late 2017 to support the music of singer-songwriter Henry Doss. Henry has had three singles released by his label, Lamon Records, all three of which reached the Top 30 on National Adult Contemporary radio.

Dave Moody, President of Lamon Records, describes Henry's and the band's music as showing "a unique ability to tap into all the best things about a classic, straight ahead, catchy, feel good rock tune."

Perhaps a little darker, a little more intense and much more thematic."

The Mood Kings

Ask The Mood Kings to describe their music. After some rumination, their answer: throw the entire rock catalog from the late 60s through late 80s in a 9x11 pan, add generous helpings of Dylan, Waits, and Petty. Bake at NIN degrees for 45 min. Take out, top off with Sly and Prince. Cut into Andre the Giant portions. Garnish with Springsteen. Pairs nicely with a Sanford and Son marathon. Also good reheated.

If a music writer was to offer up a perfect tagline to describe the music of The Mood Kings, it would go something like: "an appealing blend of the Americana roots-rock sound with strong melodic sensibilities".

Their debut album "The Wonder of It All" was released in 2018 to much hoopla and rejoicing. The journey of over 30 years of life and music together for Mark Schwarze (drums), Herman Ospina (guitar/vocals) and Joey Townsend (bass/vocals) naturally led to songs that tell the stories of regret, purpose, resilience, and hope. It's the kind of album you want on road trips where you throw the map out the window and simply enjoy the drive - letting the road rise with the next song. It makes you take the long way home to see where the music goes next. At the next turn, you'll find quiet reflection with songs like "This American Life" or "Texarkana" and exuberant energy with the hooky rhythm of songs like "Loretta" and "Last Wishes".

Currently the band has settled into releasing new music purposefully and consistently through singles and videos that provide a fresh take on where the band is musically at any moment in time. Working as a trio in the writing and recording process, the band fills out their unique sound with additional musicians in the live arena. Eschewing traditional labels of their music, they have also made conscious efforts to play small theatres, festivals, and performing arts venues that attract fans that come for the music. "We are interested in our audience, and we want them to be interested in us", says Schwarze. "Our hope is that we make connections with our music."

Macrocosm

Macrocosm is a self-produced local artist who owns and operates Soltronik Records, Sol as in sun in Icelandic. I don't have a specific genre to be honest with you, I guess because I like variety. I write and midi everything I create using FL studio and Soundtrap. I've been writing music since the age of 15. My artist name comes from the idea that we are all particles, atoms of this universe and who or whatever created it. I'm a HUGE LGBTQ+ supporter as I myself am an intersexual which is sort of fun to play with musically. My biggest inspirations are definitely Bjork, Janet, Anor Dan, MGMT and Led Zeppelin. Sometimes I throw in a little Michael or Prince funk in there but I try to keep it simple honestly. I am also self-taught which is pretty rad. I tried the whole music theory thing but it doesn't make sense to me as I am one of those people who likes to be a rebel without being a diva of course haha. I want to perform here in Charlotte and maybe even abroad if offered as I am almost in completion phases for my sixth studio album entitled RX, a talk about mental health. My album is a pop and psychedelic funk mixture that is completely accessible to everyone young and old. I strive to be a person who is revered for being real and for being in control of my sonic textures. I am from Iceland myself and grew up listening to folk and 70's acid rock as my grandparents who raised me were wiccan priests. Super odd sounding when reading that aloud. It's time for a local artist to represent the Queen City and I plan to the that example as I will literally go above and beyond to represent our diversity and love for music. I hope to meet you all and to be a part of this, with love, Macrocosm.
