February 3, 2012--Last Friday Jam

In celebration of music.
In celebration of our talented entertainers.
In celebration of 8 1/2 years.
In celebration of YOU.

We are going out with a musical crescendo! Join us on our last City Wine Sellar Friday Night Music Series on Friday, February 3rd, starting at 5 pm. We have invited any and all of our previous Friday night performers to come for an evening jam session and open mic. We plan to start at 5 pm and keep going as long as everyone is having a great time. It'll be standing room only, so be prepared for that. We will try to seat as many people as possible and will try to serve you as efficiently as possible. Patience and fun will be the words of the evening. Unfortunately, we won't be able to do reservations on that evening. As always, there will be no cover charge. Some of the performers we anticipate: Chuck Hodges, James Ethan Clark, Charlie Hoidal, Chris Palestrant, Nick Simmons, Adam Nixon, Tim Orton, members of Country Classics Band, members of Just 3, EZ Malone, Karaoke Kelly, Toby Tate, Tom Vinick and Wes Smith of Pairadocs, and young man Landry Slaughter (son of Donna Donaldson). And we're still working on pulling it together. If you've played here before and would like to come, please do. If you've never played here before and would like to come, please do. Call 252-335-1163 for more information. (We'll provide the amps and mics. No drums. Keeping it simple.)

December 30, 2011 -- Deacon and Catdaddy of Uphill

If you are familiar with the band Uphill, you'll certainly recognize the names Adam Nixon and Chris Palestrant, two of its talented bandmembers. They have each performed separately here at City Wine Sellar before, but now, for the first time ever, they will perform as a duo named "Deacon and Catdaddy of Uphill." Come for a few of your favorite songs from each of their solo acts, a bunch of new music, and even a few Uphill hits -- all with vocal harmonies and brand new arrangements. So, if you enjoy the folksy-blues counry eclectic mix of Deacon Blues and if you enjoy the rare, kickin' and classics of Chris Palestrant, you'll be in for a treat with the combination of these two quality acts. Deacon and Catdaddy will perform from 7-10 pm as part of the City Wine Friday night music series. They will also play from 5-7 on the same evening during the Bill Luton for NC House fundraising event. Stop by early and meet Bill, listen to music, and visit.
