Sylvia Theater 
Concert Calendar

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, Rebecca Rippy and her talented band will grace the Sylvia Theater stage once again to enchant music lovers. Rebecca welcomes her protege, Charlotte Parrott as her opening act. Charlotte is an up and coming songstress that will charm you with her energy as much as her talent.

Oogie Brown, named for Union, SC icon Bill "Oogie" Brown, is a southern, blues based rock band hailing from Charlotte, NC. Founders Ashley Cooke and Joel Green are dedicated to the task of bringing good old fashioned rock n' roll back to America. Known for their dynamic sound, soulful recordings and wildly entertaining shows, Oogie Brown is a band you'll never forget. The band has been on hiatus for the last few years and now has returned with a new and improved sound.

James Gregory is billed as "The Funniest Man in America" and when you come out to The Sylvia Theater for his performance you will see why. He can be heard every week on nationally syndicated shows like "The John Boy & Billy Show" from right here in the Charlotte area as well as "The Bob & Tom Show", "The Rick and Bubba Morning Show" and many other media appearances.  Gregory’s success, like his comedy, is the direct result of the values he grew up with. And now, twenty something years later, it is this unique brand of humor that packs the crowds into his sold-out shows. The absence of vulgarity sets James apart and his stories are carefully crafted art. “I have lived long enough to know people, know life”, Gregory reflects. “My comedy is based on my life experiences. It’s real, it’s funny and the audience loves it. That’s why I’m still in business.”

Come out and experience the energetic musical cornucopia that is, Gigi Dover & The Big Love. It's totally original and hard to pigeon-hole. They range from good ol' American rock n roll to music with eastern influences. From Bohemian to almost mainstream. They are fun. They are funky, they are immensely telented. Check them out. It's worth the trip!

Get ready serious music fans for a VERY Special night of music. Connoisseurs of the original rock n roll scene will certainly remember these bands and many of the musicians who make up this night's musical lineup.   

The Sylvia Theater is very proud to be able to host some icons from the legendary Greater Charlotte, NC music scene of the 70s. These bands are so renowned that they will be immortalized in an upcoming book by Daniel Coston that recounts the stars, the stories, the triumphs and tragedies of the movers and shakers of the early local Carolina rock scene. Hear the music and hear the stories first-hand at The Sylvia Theater. For those who were there, come out and reminisce about the glory days. For those who weren't there, come out and see music history come to life and see where it all came from. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Mannish Boy, and Young Ages were and are among the best that Carolinas have to offer musically.
