National Theatre Live: The Misanthrope at Aperture Cinema

Aperture Cinema

Once again, we're bringing the best of British theatre to the big screen right here on 4th Street 🎭 This time, we're showing THE MISANTHROPE starring Greys' Anatomy star Sandra Oh. About the play ➡️ Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the hollow contemporary mantras of kindness and respect. But the bolder she becomes in speaking out, the more colleagues avoid her, and the more her personal relationships begin to fracture. As she challenges fashionable ideas and lends her voice to causes others are afraid to touch, she faces intense criticism and backlash. Alice will soon learn the price she must pay as an artist and as a woman for daring to speak her mind. Award-winner Sandra Oh is the Misanthrope in Martin Crimp’s cutting new version of Molière’s dark comedy, directed by National Theatre Director Indhu Rubasingham.

John Morgan with Erin Kinsey at The Ramkat

The Ramkat

Very pleased to welcome @johnmorgan95 to The Ramkat on November 21, 2026, with special guest @erinkinseytx! Presented with @peachtreeentertainment. Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. Tickets go on sale at 10 AM Eastern this Friday, September 25, at TheRamkat.com! GRAMMY-nominated and 6x #1 hitmaker, John Morgan delivers country music with a blue-collar edge rooted in the only life he knows. The North Carolina native grew up playing bluegrass festivals in his family band. Now a “Music City songwriting star” (Tennessean) and “in-demand songcrafter” (Billboard), John has written 16 songs for Jason Aldean alone — including Aldean’s #1 hits “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” “Trouble With A Heartbreak,” “Whiskey Drink,” “Don’t Tell On Me” and the GRAMMY®-nominated “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood. His songs have also been recorded by Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch and Thomas Rhett. Morgan’s breakout moment came with his debut single “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean),” which shot to #1 at country radio — earning him his fourth #1 as a songwriter and first as an artist. Morgan’s songwriting also earned him the coveted CMA Triple Play Award. The momentum continues with his debut album Carolina Blue which features the rising single “Kid Myself,” currently climbing the charts. Having already played the Grand Ole Opry and toured with Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Riley Green, ERNEST, and more, John is heading out on Brantley Gilbert's “Real American Tour” this fall where he will sing his hits and preview new music like his latest release “Once in a Mile.” John has a track record that proves that he’s not just one of Nashville’s most sought-after songwriters - he’s one of its next big stars. #johnmorgan #erinkinsey #theramkat #wsnc #supportlivemusic

Jacoozy at Gas Hill Drinking Room

Gas Hill Drinking Room

Very happy to welcome @jacoozytheband to Gas Hill Drinking Room on December 9, 2026! Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. Tickets are on sale NOW at TheRamkat.com! Jacoozy is a band that thrives on connection, both with their audience and each other. Formed in 2021, the band emerged from the underground house show scene in Boone, North Carolina, blending Southern rock, jam traditions, and modern sensibilities. Their sound is built on live energy, with each performance capturing the raw spirit of their music—no studio tricks or polished layers. Jacoozy’s songwriting is deeply rooted in introspection, capturing moments of time and self-reflection while celebrating their Southern roots and the communities that have shaped them. The band’s approach to music is collaborative, shaped by their basement jams and experimental spirit. With a unique blend of influences and a clear mission to create authentic, live-driven music, Jacoozy’s future looks as promising as the stories they are telling. #jacoozy #gashilldrinkingroom #wsnc #supportlivemusic
