About

I've seen some great bands at Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill, NC—usually on a friend's recommendation. Every time I'd leave thinking "I should go to more shows," but then I'd look at the calendar and not recognize 90% of the headliners and almost none of the openers. Researching them one by one takes forever.

This site fixes that. See a name, click it, hear their music. Like it? Hit Get Tickets and you're on the venue's site. No middleman.

All previews are YouTube links—I chose this because young bands can post there for free, unlike paid distribution. I hope this helps them get discovered.

My current pick: Johnny Delaware, opening at Cat's Cradle Feb 1.

Enjoy. — Bill Brady
