Five friends making loud, guitar-driven rock together who’ve shared stages with Gin Blossoms, Bon Jovi, Better Than Ezra, Old 97’s, Futurebirds, Dawes, Barenaked Ladies and more, while building a sound that pulls from the alternative and heartland rock records they grew up on; that’s Crenshaw Pentecostal. Their new single “Till Tomorrow” feels like the band at its best: big guitars, a big chorus, and a litte hope tucked into the noise. Still friends. Still making records. Still turning the amps up after almost a decade. Raleigh, North Carolina roots-rockers Jack the Radio blend rock and blues sensibility with Americana, folk, and country to create a tapestry of swampy southern-tinged sounds. The band has shared the stage with The Avett Brothers, Hall & Oates, George Thorogood, Cold War Kids, Rayland Baxter, and American Aquarium to name a few. Their music has been featured in commercial, film, and TV projects including Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire, Graceland, Beverly Hills 90210 as well as in sports programming for NASCAR, NFL, PGA, and AEW. #crenshawpentecostal #jacktheradio #gashilldrinkingroom #wsnc #supportlivemusic

The Heavy Heavy with The Point at The Ramkat

NOV 19 8:00 PM · The Ramkat

Excited to welcome @theheavyheavy back to The Ramkat on November 19, 2026, with special guests @the.point.music. Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. Tickets go on sale at 10 AM Eastern this Friday, August 21, at TheRamkat.com! With the arrival of their debut EP Life and Life Only, The Heavy Heavy immediately filled a longtime void in the musical landscape, delivering a soulful breed of rock & roll untouched by modern artifice. As audiences across the globe grew enchanted with their era-bending sound, the UK-based band began selling out headline shows in major cities like New York and Chicago, opening for the likes of Black Pumas and Band of Horses, and earning critical comparisons to Jefferson Airplane, The Band, The Mamas & The Papas, and more—all with only a handful of songs to their name, including the AAA radio top five singles “Miles and Miles” and “Go Down River.” After spending the past two years on the road and in the studio, The Heavy Heavy now draw listeners even deeper into their dreamworld with their long-awaited debut album One Of A Kind. Despite their influences ranging across the world, The Point. are a band that could only have started in Austin. Fusing psychedelia, Saharan guitar music, and cumbia with jam-band sensibilities, the trio creates a laid-back vibe that’s more than the sum of its parts. Their latest, Maldito Animal (Deluxe Edition), finds the band exploring new directions, the aural equivalent of a crate-digger showing off their collection, a panoply of taste culled into one source. #theheavyheavy #thepoint. #theramkat #wsnc #supportlivemusic

American Aquarium at The Ramkat

DEC 12 8:00 PM · The Ramkat

Stoked to welcome @americanaquarium back to The Ramkat on December 12, 2026! Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. Tickets go on sale at 10 AM Eastern this Friday, August 21, at TheRamkat.com! 20 years. 20 records. Over 4,000 shows. And somehow, American Aquarium are still finding new ways to surprise us. On New Ways to Lose, frontman BJ Barham and his band of road warriors turn two decades of survival into a driving, deeply-felt rock & roll statement — one built on resilience, reinvention, and the hard-earned clarity that only comes with time. "We've always been outsiders," says Barham, whose songwriting has steered the group through lineup changes, heartache, addiction, recovery, a global pandemic, and every other obstacle imaginable. Long before algorithms and viral breakthroughs spelled out success in the music industry, American Aquarium earned their place the old-school way: through relentless touring and a stubborn refusal to disappear, even when the odds suggested they should. New Ways to Lose turns that outsider status into armor. Produced once again by multi-time Grammy winner Shooter Jennings, the album was recorded in Los Angeles over a 10-day session that captured the band at their most immediate and alive. Much of the record was tracked live, with Jennings encouraging spontaneity and instinct over perfection, while a round of overdubs offered the opportunity to add three-part harmonies and horn arrangements to the songs. The result is a muscular, cinematic record that embraces both sides of American Aquarium's identity: the bruised confessionals of a songwriter who's already spent decades sharpening his craft, and the full-throttle release of an anthemic, amplified rock & roll band. Hot-wired with the same electricity as their live show, New Ways to Lose nods to heartland heroes like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Neil Young while remaining unmistakably American Aquarium. #americanaquarium #theramkat #wsnc #supportlivemusic
