Whoop
7 p.m. – 9 p.m. at 140 West
Whoop will perform at 140 West Franklin. Only formed in the fall of 2020, the band has already evolved their weekly barn jams into a hugely relatable, disarmingly charming debut album. A mélange of backgrounds and influences spanning indie, jazz, rock, reggae, and hip-hop, Whoop thrives by letting raw musical instinct be band leader. Nothing is over-played or over-produced; nothing is superfluous or gratuitous in their innately authentic, ego-free explorations of groove, melody – and of the everyday human condition. You can learn more about the band on their website.
Charlie Garnett
7 p.m. – 9 p.m. near Talulla’s
Charlie Garnett will perform near Talulla’s at 456 W. Franklin. Charlie is a Durham-based guitarist playing styles ranging from jazz to funk to rock. He plays with local bands Mellow Swells and Halo Trio and enjoys sharing music with others!
