Hop on Pop: Live Acts to Catch

Here's a new addition for the Salmon.

I'd like to point out fantastic live music to see in the coming days.

Obviously, this list focuses on Charlotte, Asheville and the Triangle region of North Carolina because that's where I live.

This isn't comprehensive. It focuses on major or up-and-coming acts, but it might leave out what you're looking for, especially if you're into jam bands. Send me any suggestions if you've got any.

So many venues, so little time. Seek tickets from the respective sellers.

Enjoy.
