    Lettuce "Cook Tour"

    Lincoln Theatre, 126 E Cabarrus St, Raleigh · verified Oct 2
    See details

    Lettuce brings the Cook Tour to Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh for a night centered on Cook, an album that invites listeners to the table where funk, soul, jazz, rock, and hip hop blend into a single, richly seasoned sound. The group’s core of longtime collaborators fuels the performance: Adam Deitch on drums, Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff on guitar, Erick “Maverick” Coomes on bass, Ryan “Zoid” Zoidis on saxophones and synths, Eric “Benny” Bloom on trumpet, and Nigel Hall on vocals and keyboards. Released on their own Lettuce Records imprint, Cook arrives after runs with rap icon GZA of Wu-Tang Clan and reggae legend Ziggy Marley, along with the release of a live album and concert film created with the Colorado Symphony. The grooves pay respect to James Brown and the JB’s and acknowledge mentors such as Tower of Power and Maceo Parker. To mark the album’s debut, Lettuce Red Crush and Orange Crush wines were created with Aquila Cellars, and a limited-edition recipe book of pairings accompanies the vinyl and digital releases. With fresh momentum and a dedicated fan base, the band steps into a new chapter ready to savor the music together.

    Robert Lester Folsom

    Motorco, 723 Rigsbee Ave, Durham · verified Oct 2
    See details

    Presented by Cat’s Cradle, Robert Lester Folsom appears at Motorco Music Hall. A songwriter from Adel, Georgia, he spent the early 1970s capturing songs on a two track reel to reel in bedrooms, a barn and a motel room across the state, collaborating with musicians such as guitarist Hans VanBrackle. That fertile stretch informs Sunshine Only Sometimes: Archives Vol. 2, 1972–1975, a collection that highlights mellow folk, rural hues and bright melodic pop. His sole contemporaneous album, Music and Dreams from 1976, later resurfaced through Anthology, tracing smooth West Coast AOR alongside the Laurel Canyon singer songwriter tradition. Early pieces like Ease My Mind, Julie and Lonely Lovers reflect the range in his writing, from country tinges to gently off kilter psych. From garage band experiments and the Abacus era to fully formed studio work, the performance centers a catalog shaped by craft, collaboration and melody.

    Sub Urban w/ Golden Cats

    Stanczyks Music Bar, 1007 W Main St, Durham · verified Oct 2
    See details

    Presented by andmoreagain, Sub Urban brings The Bell Tolls Tour to Stanczyks in Durham with Golden Cats. Sub Urban is the creative identity of Daniel Virgil Maisonneuve, a Taiwanese American artist who writes, sings, and produces his own work, recognized for Cradles, an RIAA double platinum track. Since that breakout, he has forged a moody, high voltage strain of dark pop that fuses theatrical, macabre touches with unusual textures and ear catching hooks. Golden Cats brings an indie pop rock sound that mixes nostalgic alternative flavors with crisp pop songwriting and a playful, story led universe. In their first year they surpassed 20 million streams and neared 200,000 followers across platforms while developing their career with the artist incubator Not a Label. Vocalist Laura Dalla, known as Black Cat Girl, and drummer producer Kyle Lenski, known as Retriever Boy, create and refine every song from a bedroom studio. Before teaming up, Laura launched a solo path via a joint venture with Universal Music Group, and Kyle toured as a drummer, building an online following of more than 2 million through viral performances. Their fan community, the Kittens, connects with both the music and the characters, lore, and optimism that shape the Golden Cats world. Their name traces back to a rehearsal for another band when a child’s offhand comment about their contrasting looks sparked the Black Cat Girl and Retriever Boy personas. Tickets are on sale. Admission is $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show.
