Hello all-

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Janet Crane Barley, FCP author, friend and mentor, passed away last week. She got as much out of her 85 years as she possibly could, and made the lives of those around her for the better. Myself included.

Jan's book Storytourist will always be available for those that wish to learn more about Jan and her travels through England and Scotland.

See you in the stars, Jan, and see you again, someday,

Postponing This Saturday's Decades Of Rock Show, More News Soon

So here's a story about the hurricane. Randy Franklin and the Sardines, and Jake Berger and the Mannish Boys are prepared to rock you like a hurricane on Saturday, but it's best to not Rock during a hurricane. I know, there's calm in your eyes, but you'll keep being blown away, so it's better to be somewhere safer where the feeling stays. So yes, we're postponing our inaugural Decades Of Rock show until a later date. Until then, we'll all be riding the storm out, waiting for the fallout. Spread the word, see you on the Weather Channel, and see you on the road.

Decades Of Rock Show, Charlotte, NC, September 15, 2018

On September 15, I'll be bringing back my series of shows playing the music that many of us grew up with. This new series, entitled Decades Of Rock, features some of your favorite local musicians playing the music that rocked the world, and rocked our world during those times. The Mannish Boys open the show with the garage rock and R&B of the 1960s, and then Randy Franklin & The Sardines bring the 1970s, some of the 80s back to life. The show is at Neighborhood Theatre, doors are at 7pm, and the show is at 8pm. And tickets are $10, online and at the door. All of our fine FCP books will be available at the show, as well. Spread the word, see you there, and see you on the road.
