There is a lot of talk lately about bands that will not perform in North Carolina due to recent political decisions. North Carolina Residents that are fans of these major acts are missing out on concerts in their area due to the band cancelling shows.
Craig Saunders, from Big Time, posted a status update on his facebook page about bands that WILL STILL PLAY IN NC. I thought this was something that deserves some more attention. I know there are a lot of great bands out there that need to be added to this list. Mike Worley and I will do our best to add them as I see comments and posts. The best way is to leave a comment here and I will get them added to the list. Thanks for supporting these bands. Thanks for supporting Beach Music and the venues that feature beach music. If someone has been added to this list and does not want to be listed here, please also let me know in the comments. Those comment will not go public.
Please Share this list with your friends and if your favorite band that will still play in North Carolina is not on this list, let us know.

Because they know right from wrong.and they have mouths to feed just like everyone else. That’s what makes the beach music community so special
Thank you to ALL of these awesome bands!!!
We also will continue to play concerts in NC – seabreeze. We are an eight piece beach and oldies band based out of Burlington. We are proud to be from NC, playing Carolina beach music for great NC people.
Got them added – Thanks Phil!
Blackberry Smoke is a GA band but they’re opening for Gov’t Mule – maybe not a “North Carolina” band per se, but they’re fronted by NC Music Hall of Fame inductee and native of Asheville, Warren Haynes.
Thanks Mike!. Just Looking for bands that will play in NC, not necessarily NC Bands. A lot of these are SC Bands that play all over the Southeast.. and will probably go further for the right price.
Hey Bo, The Breeze Band is based out of Wilson and definitely play NC.
Added you to the list – Thanks Barney!
The Tams will play in NC
SideTrac Band Plays in NC !!

UBU the band will play in NC
East Coast Rythmn & Blues Band

Is this just beach and country bands? If not, the legendary progressive rock band King’s X needs to be on the list. They’re playing Charlotte and Greensboro June 10 and 11.
