For anyone visiting or new to NC and love live music, the best places (towns) are Chapel Hill, Fayetteville, Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston Salem, and Asheville. Just about any night of the week you can catch a fantastic local band, a great regional band, or national band even in any of these towns.

Fayetteville has Jester’s which is a totally wicked place to go, and also my favorite, for metal, hard rock, and rock. They host a variety of local, regional and national acts. Additionally the sound there is amazing, it’s not all muffled like a lot of places.

Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh has a lot of great locations, just about anywhere you choose is guaranteed to offer up an exciting night of live shows. The Lincoln Theatre, The Brewery, and Volume 11 in Raleigh are all three great places. Chapel Hill has Cat’s Cradle, Local 506 and many others that are also great. Durham, the scene has died out a bit, but with a little looking you’re bound to find a place hosting your interest.

Charlotte has many places, but the best I’ve found has been Amos’ Southend and The Tremont. Both of which are large venues that host a wide variety of local, regional, and national bands with fantastic sound and lighting.

Greensboro and Winston are like Durham and Raleigh, many great places, just a matter of what kind of music you want for the night. Ziggy’s in Winston Salem is well known for its variety.
