I'm happy to announce that my show on North Carolina musicians, Carolina Calling, will open at the Earle Theater in Mount Airy, NC on February 27th, and be there through the spring. More information as we get closer to the opening. My thanks to the Surry Arts Council for giving this show a new home. See you soon, and see you on the road.

In 1966, the Cyrkle passed on the chance to record "The 59th Bridge Song". In 2020, I helped oversee Cyrkle come back to "The 59th Street Bridge Song". Here it is, their first studio recording of new material since 1968. It's now available on all of your favorite platforms. Enjoy, spread the word, and spread the joy. Until we all feel groovy again, together.
Hello all. Some of you may have already heard about this, but Altercat Records in Germany has now reissued the legendary "Abba" single from Charlotte, NC's own Paragons. This release was done with the support of the band's surviving members, and features liner notes by Mike Stax, with interviews and photo research provided by yours truly. The release looks and sounds great, so please check it out, and let's get more Carolina Rock & Roll reissued in the year to come.
