Nothing beats the energy of live country music, especially when legends like Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan share the stage with rising stars like Willow Avalon. This year in Charlotte, I caught unforgettable sets from Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson (as Johnny Blue Skies), The Red Clay Strays, and more. From intimate venues like The Evening Muse to packed amphitheaters, every show had its own magic—like American Aquarium’s last-minute, all-request gig after a weather cancellation. Whether you’re into bluegrass jams or Southern rock, supporting live music and local venues is where the real memories are made. Which concert blew you away this year? #Entertainment #Music #LiveMusic
