About Me

The Charlotte music community is in revival, and we are the evangelists! Our mission is to not to (just) be a backpatting social club for musicians, but to bridge the unexplainable chasm that exists between the outstanding talent and entertainment in the region and the sadly oblivious populace. We're taking an active approach to maximizing opportunities for exposure, organizing methods to get to where the people are.


Bands and artists, send press kits/promotional materials to:

WHAMS
PMB #384
9009-101 Albemarle Rd
Charlotte NC 28227

Also, send us your show dates and information!

My Interests

Making a scene.

The WHAMS website

Charlottegigs.com - Bands, list your shows! Fans, keep up with what's going on!

Amps 11 magazine online. Excellent forum for local artists!

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, artists, performers, venues, record labels, music stores, deejays, promoters, producers, and music fans in the Charlotte metro region (and even slightly farther out). And then I want to introduce them to all those people partying to jukeboxes, ipods and out of town cover bands uptown.
