The New Year fanfare has dimmed but there is still live music to be found in Charlotte. If the thought of placing the first decade of the new millenium still has your head spinning, there’s Dweezil Zappa playing his father’s authorized anthology. For the 90’s nostalgic, we recommend Cowboy Mouth at Amos’ Southend (link).

Its a rare Sunday night as the Panthers try to salvage their season against the NFC North division leading Minnesota Vikings come into town. This game will feature two of the NFL’s premier running backs in our DeAngelo Williams and the Viking’s Adrian Peterson.
If the season were to end today, our home town startups would be in the playoffs. After a wobbly start, the Bobcats seem to be hitting their stride. The Detroit game (12/22) and the Milwaukee game (12/28) should be well contested games as all three teams are surging.

Meet young Clara and her extraordinary Nutcracker doll. This holiday classic is a full-blown with over 70 performers from the NC Dance Theatre.
What better way to celebrate the season with a 9 level high human singing Christmas tree? In its 55th year, it is safe to say that this is a rooted Charlotte tradition. They also have a show for kids.
