The Foreign Exchange - the Grammy-nominated, Durham-based musical duo - doesn't hit Charlotte that often. And that's a shame. This city needs more of the melodic, hip-hop-flavored soul sounds that FE members Phonte and Nicolay are famous for creating. That said, whatever you do, be sure to catch the group when they hit town tonight for a rare (and undoubtedly awesome) performance.
