Greetings, readers! This week we continue to slide into autumn. Tightly bound bundles of cornstalks have begun to pop-up here and there, clothes in store windows are changing, and the scents of firewood, wet foliage, and pumpkin-spice everything fill the air. The season of change is upon us, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop having fun with your favorite live bands! Here is what’s up this week.
Get ready for the second installment of The Heap music and arts festival at the Little Creek Vineyards in Snow Camp, North Carolina. The Heap is a now three evenings of camping, and will feature multiple sets from The Wright Avenue, and some of your favorite artists from the Uncle John’s Bone family. Other musicians include The Mantras, Nick & The Nomads, The Brothership Abduction, Formula 5, Universal Sigh, and more! The total amount of tickets for The Heap is capped at 400, so if you’d like to go it is a good idea to secure your tickets A.S.A.P. Weekend passes are currently on sale for $60, with single day-passes also available for any who can’t get the whole weekend off. Expect cooler temperature in the evenings: pack heavy, layer up, and make sure to bring lanterns and/or flashlights.
