This Ponce, Puerto Rico band is world-renowned in salsa, carribean beat, and dance. This is a real treat to have them at the Pourhouse and it should be a packed crowd as it coincides with "Salsa night" at a downtown Raleigh establishment. This group is considered one of the founders reviving the new "old school" Salsa Movement - or "Salsa Classica". Their full entourage of instruments and vocals is the total package and this music is not commonly found in the U.S. outside of select cities like Miami or New York. This is certainly a must-see for those of you with any interest in Salsa / Carribean Beat.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival - Local 506 (Indie/Punk/Ska)
Our Friends - Greensboro based Holy Ghost Tent Revival is out again (check listing from 4/8/10) - this time at Chapel Hill's Local 506. Expect another night of guitar,vocal,drums and horns..... This is going to be a great night that will build into a crescendo music,dancing and craziness. This is truly an up and coming band - and it's only a matter of time given the talent and energy of these guys....
Check them out @ www.myspace.com/hgtr - check out "Hammer Fell" & "Getting over your love"
Schooner - Tir Na nog (Indie)
Yet another installment of the WKNC sponsored "Local Beer, Local Band" night, Carboro based Schooner comes to town to play it's version of Indie Rock. This is a mellow, easy-going music that flows easy - but is damn good... The vocals range from a refined Chris Isaak to a deranged Sting.... The admirable thing about this is that the band is able to artfully make it flow all together for our listening enjoyment.... I've seen these guys several times over the past few years and it is allways a pretty good show - check it out - there will be a good crowd.
www.myspace.com/schooner Expect a 10-10:30 start at Tir Na Nog and great beer specials...
Delta Rae, Big Fat Gap, Wylie Hunter - Deep South (Folk/Bluegrass/Blues)
This is a show NOT to be missed!
Delta Rae is quite possibly one of the best bands "under the radar" from this area in a long, long time. Their vocals are simply amazing - Brittany Holljes has got to be one of the best new female vocalists on the scene. The rest of the band - consisting of three siblings Ian, Eric & Brittany as well as Elizabeth Hopkins and James Goldberg - together their harmonization and masterful use of keys, strings and percussion to supplement the vocals is beyond words - its a religious experiance..... The talent level of this band far surpasses most bands - and they seem light years ahead of development - they have only been a band for not quite a year and already they have the seasoned sound and harmonization that takes others years to master. The music scene has not seen the level of vocal talent in this band since Fleetwood Mac... I highly reccomend this show to anyone and everyone - its your chance to see a true up and comer perform in the beginning stages of what should be a great career.

All songs are great but check out "Bottom of the River" "Morning Comes" and "Holding on to Good" Please also check out Edwin McCain's shout out to them on You Tube - very good....
Big Fat Gap & Wylie Hunter will follow and will bring their brand of Bluegrass and Americana/Blues. Big Fat Gap is a Bluegrass mainstay that makes our Bluegrass music scene one of the best in the land.... They are frequent visitors to the various music venues around the area and they will most certainly put on a great show... I like Wylie Hunter's musical style - it's similar to David Gray with a touch of Ben Folds and he brings an energy that is certainly contagious and hey, if your gonna stay for two shows, catch the 3rd one as well....
