Tremont Music Hall

8/23/08 Tremont Music Hall - Charlotte, NC : Fans of Rockabilly, where were you? I saw Kim & Jarod,... Christain squared was there, Jason & Gwyn came all the way from Saluda, Lauren and Sherry were there to support Jem and Chipps, Dee and Carla were there to support Tommy and Chris, Mark & Robin were there. Autumn made her way over, Alice came up from Rock Hill, SC (?) and she brought Alan all the way from France...via Huntersville. Gabby & Rick and Johnny & Leah were there. Hickry Hawkins even staggered in for the shows. BUT the point is that the place should have been packed with Rockabilly Fans, not the mere <100 folks that were there. Tommy & the RayGuns started us off. Their best song of the night was "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town". They're really evolving into their sound.
Jem Crossland & the Hypertonics followed. Every show when Jem belts out the last note of "Crying" the crowd always goes wild with applause. The night ended after The Belmont Playboys dished out a big serving of rockabilly whup up on the crowd. And YOU MISSED IT!!! Thanks to StillNotDead.com and Tremont Music Hall for a good time had by all!
