If you’ve ever heard a Shinedown song (and if you haven’t check out the video below), you know the one thing the band is known for – lead singer Brent Smith’s voice. All power, all rock.

A chat with Bear Rinehart of Needtobreathe

The last time I spoke with Bear Rinehart, lead singer of the band Needtobreathe, he was excited that the band was finally starting to play larger venues. Its first trips to Charlotte were to venues like the Neighborhood Theatre.

Bad music vs. no music — which do you prefer?

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I loaded up our Toyota Corolla with our 11-month-old, a 12-year-old diabetic pug, and approximately 98 percent of the things we own, and made the short trek down to Folly Beach, S.C., for a week of sun, fun and diapers. If you’ve never been to Folly Beach, it’s about 15 minutes outside of Charleston, and is the type of small beach town, where you park your car when you arrive and you don’t get back in it until you leave.

Need to see Needtobreathe

If you’ve never heard of Possum Kingdom, S.C., you aren’t alone. It sounds like most Southern small towns.

This Providence — new rock band, old rock sound

When you think of a guy who works for a printing company, the last image you’d get would be of Andy Horst, drummer for the band This Providence. Why you ask?

Dead men tell no tales... except for Tupac, Jimi and MJ

Last fall, when Michael Jackson moonwalked to the great beyond, people far and wide immediately said Michael may be gone, but his music would live on forever. Little did they know just how true those words will turn out to be.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember moving to Chicago. This is North Carolina, people.
