Staff Picks

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

Skyla Credit Union Amphitheatre 000 NC Music Factory Boulevard, Charlotte, NC, United States
$25

Now, Adams and The Cardinals are back, a bit less country this time around.

Sam Morril

The Fillmore 820 Hamilton Street, Charlotte, NC, United States
$45
Fast-rising comic Sam Morril can be lethal with his dry and dark punchlines, peppering a stand-up set that encompasses fucked-up fairy tales, biting social commentary and surreal conceptual stuff like comparing condom wearing to volunteer work, wondering if murderers critique each other’s work, and reminiscing on his friendship with a vigilante. New York native Morril offers a night of trenchant stand-up that’s not quite right in the head.
