"The Carolina Theatre is pleased to
announce a new concert venture in The Crown at the Carolina: The Emerging
Artists Series. The series will begin on March 30 with the band Bombadil,
followed by The Barefoot Movement on May 4, with Rising Appalachia closing out
the first season of the series on June 18.
The Emerging Artists Series was
designed to introduce a new audience to the Carolina, while offering fresh
entertainment for the theatre’s fan base. By highlighting groups on-the-rise
from across a range of genres, the Emerging Artists Series will bring these
acts into the spotlight of the intimate 200-seat Crown, which once housed the
historic theatre’s original sign shop. The goal will be to have these young artists
return to the stage one day to fill the Carolina’s auditorium.
The Emerging Artists Series is sponsored
by Eugenia and Barry Frank. “We believe that an integral part of the Carolina
Theatre’s future is in engaging these exciting young musicians and their
audiences,” says Eugenia Leggett-Frank. “We’re thrilled to be a part of that
future.”

and the bright and sunny pop music of the 1960s, Bombadil is a four-piece folk-pop band out of Durham, NC, known
for their creative and heartfelt lyrics, diverse sound, and engaging live shows.

THE BAREFOOT MOVEMENT – Monday, May

the worries and frustrations of the world melt away as the charming four-piece
acoustic band takes listeners back to a simpler place and time. More here.

RISING APPALACHIA – Thursday, June
18, 8:00pm

| RISING APPALACHIA |
Present-day
troubadours Leah Song and Chloe Smith have drawn from a melting pot of genres,
with influences of folk, soul, roots, world music, and poetry. Their sibling
harmonies, paired with banjo and fiddle duets, are inspired by folk standards
and traditional hymns, old mountain odes, and activist anthems that pull
equally from the swampy sounds of the bayou, the contemporary twang of the
Appalachian Mountains, and the beat of a global rhythm. More here.
Tickets are $17.50 in advance, or $22.50 day-of-show.
A $1.00 facility fee will be added to each ticket.
Tickets are available through the
Carolina Theatre Box Office, located at 310 S. Greene Street in Downtown
Greensboro, by phone at 336.333.2605, online at CarolinaTheatre.com.
Prices include applicable NC sales tax."
