Satsang, Graham Good

March 22 | 8:00 pm

Neighborhood Theatre 511 E 36th St, Charlotte, NC

$17.50

Drew McManus, lead singer of the band named Satsang, left a life of street hustling and drug dealing and headed to rural Montana to focus on the spiritual concept of Satsang to fuel his vulnerable yet positive lyrics, backed by a stripped-down, reggae-tinged and soul-infused folk soundtrack. The band has drawn comparisons to one of McManus’ inspirations, socially conscious guitarist Michael Franti. Like Franti, Satsang crafts tunes that draw power from their simplicity.

‘Beetlejuice’

March 28 - April 2

Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts 130 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC

$25

‘Beetlejuice’ the musical jettisons the plot of the iconic Tim Burton film that made Michael Keaton a star. Instead, the plot focuses on an alliance between goth tween Lydia, who is mourning her deceased mom, and the titular “ghost with the most,” who is less seedy than Keaton’s version. Despite a sentimental streak, the show is a madcap carnival funhouse where the jokes fly as fast as bats from a belfry.

Still a nimble tongue-twisting artist, he grounds his hyperactive streak with gravitas and a focus on community.
