Looking for live music in Charlotte and surrounding areas? Check out this list of what’s on the calendar on Charlotte on the Cheap.
Here we focus on free and very inexpensive events. Mostly free. Looking for a more comprehensive list of concerts in all price ranges? Check out our list of Charlotte concerts this week, compiled by Music Everywhere CLT.
So you’ll see plenty of shows at breweries, coffee houses and bars, but also at museums, universities, and out in the community. In the warmer months there will be a lot of free outdoor concerts and festivals.
Please make sure to tip the band, buy a CD if you like the music and tip the bartender.
Some events on the list aren’t primarily music events but do include live music, and some are more participatory, like music workshops. And there will occasionally be an event that has music, but not live music, when it seems really interesting and fun.
Do you know of shows that should be on this list? Please email jody@charlotteonthecheap.com Please make sure to include complete information, including the cost, if any, a picture if available, and, especially, a link to the event. A Facebook event is fine. Events will be added to this list as time permits.
See a mistake? Please email me and let me know. Sometimes there are recurring events on the calendar that have changed.
