This afternoon I was looking online for info about 81 Mulberry (a band from Chapel Hill that I filmed when they opened for the Grifters in Knoxville in 1996), and I found several episodes of "Live Around Town" (a live music public access TV show from Chapel Hill in the mid-1990s). Several of the bands that were featured in the episodes were familiar to me, and others weren't...but it is an interesting bit of local music history.
On November 4, 2021 in Winston-Salem, NC, The Ramkat and MUSE Winston-Salem (“Museum of Understanding, Storytelling and Engagement”) presented a "Let's Active 40th Anniversary Concert Event with Mitch Easter" celebrating the influential band's 1981 debut.
Evan Dando played a solo acoustic set at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles, CA, on October 7, 2021. According to setlist.fm, it was his first solo show in more than two years.
