Interviews...

  • Sci Fi - 1/28/2009  "We recorded it (upcoming live release) this past Saturday at the Whiskey in Wilmington.  It went really well and we will be doing a couple of more recordings of shows:  one in Asheville and one more in Wilmington over the next month.  After that our live album will be mastered and put online for FREE.  It's going to be an official release but will be free for all... You are the first to find out.  I'm not sure that we were "supposed" to tell you but hey it's Wednesday everybody could use a pick-me-up, right?" - Tyler Simmons

  • Telepath - 1/18/2009  "We are looking forward to this tour like every other one. As I said earlier, it's an amazing feeling to be able to do what we love and have it embraced by such amazing people. We can't do it without every person present-it's the give and take between band and fans that make it so special." - Curt Heiny

  • Jamie McLean - 12/28/2008  "We're actually going back into the studio for the next record right after the New Year's Eve Tour.  There are 18 new songs in the running right now.  It should be released by the summer.  This is an exclusive.  You heard it here first.  Only at CLMS"

  • MarsupiaL - MarsupiaL's special blend of progressive rock, jam-band, southern roots and jazz transcends any preconceived classification. Mick Skidmore of Relix Magazine explains,  “The band operates as a tight-knit family and has a common philosophy of crossing all available musical boundaries. In the past five years, this quartet has created a buzz around the southeast U.S. with an eclectic vision that melds an improv-heavy mix of jazz-rock and progressive rock with superior melodic content". Now, with the release of MarsupiaL's fourth CD, 'Genus Thylacinus’, the band is being touted as "One of the nation's brightest stars in the prog-rock scene."

    "In addition to making a name for itself through powerful live shows, MarsupiaL is quickly earning a reputation as one of the most thoughtful recording artists in the prog-rock field, earning comparisons to national acts such as Umphrey's McGee," says the Mountain Times. The band's 2006 release 'Curtains' garnered rave reviews worldwide from critics and fans alike, and quickly became a favorite on WNCW's 'Arc Overnight' program. This follows the success of 'Moby Fleck', an album that landed in the top 20 regional albums for the year 2006.
    MarsupiaL is on the road in support of 'Genus Thylacinus' and rocks Charlotte 5/29/09 at The Salvador Deli. 

 

 

Supporting Live Music In The Carolinas!

Welcome!

You've reached the home of the Carolina Live Music Society.   Established in 2006, we bring music to the people, and people to the music.  We  produced, promoted, and raged our first event, a Toys for Tots benefit featuring The Mantras and Dead End Parking in December 2006.  Since that first benefit we've worked with national and international artists such as The Disco Biscuits, Dark Star Orchestra, New Monsoon, EOTO, PBS, Col. Bruce Hampton;  as well as local, regional, and first time touring acts such as Incognito Mosquito, The Mantras, The New Familiars,  Leah Randazzo, Eymarel, The Lee Boys,  Barrel House Mamas, Roots of Creation, SeepeopleS, and many more...  

Our community is comprised of musicians, bands, venues, promoters, production staff, photographers, archivists, and most importantly the fans who come to the shows.  Our charitable work has benefited many in our music community as well as various local charities like Toys for Tots, and Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, NC.  

In an effort to grow as a community, while enjoying the camaraderie found at music & arts festivals, CLMS members are often performing, producing, promoting, and/or volunteering at events like AmJam, Echo Project, Trinumeral, Camp Bisco, All Good, Floydfest, Mantra Bash, Langerado, Mtn. Sports Festival and others... We are committed to our common passion for live music.

At carolinalivemusic.net members receive announcements about free or greatly discounted tickets to shows and festivals around the Carolinas as well as special promotions reserved only for Society members.  After the shows CLMS members meet here to download and listen to recordings of the shows.  We discuss music news, browse photos, and view concert footage leading up to and after shows we're involved with.  Our  photo galleries are available for everyone.  As with all CLMS ventures, our online community is non-commercial and maintained entirely by volunteers.  We accept money donations to the society for server space but not for any other purpose.  If the counter at the top of the page is green, we have enough to cover this month's server expense.  If it's red we are accepting donations.  Our server expense is currently $75.00/month. We accept volunteers to help with our site upkeep with gratitude and reward with tickets donated by society venues and the bands.  

Music and video submissions are made by the artists, venues, and reputable archivists from our community.  All music and video is used with permission from taper friendly artists via link with YouTube and The Live Music Archive.  Society membership is free  and only requires registration and following the Rules.  We have an extensive archive of shows and are always working on our next big event. We work with venues that support our efforts such as The Double Door Inn, Neighborhood Theatre,  The Evening Muse, Smokey Joe's Cafe, and others. Take a look around... we have something for everyone. 

If you feel you have something to contribute... let us know

 

 

The Secret Society That's Not A Secret 

 

 

Our Mission...

To culminate the efforts of original musicians, fans, and music professionals in the Carolinas and beyond. In too many facets of the music industry there is a gap in connectivity that inhibits the opportunity for even the most gifted of musicians to passionately pursue their dreams. By not recognizing and supporting these artists, a community stifles the development and growth of its music scene as a whole... more
