There are some good people working hard to establish a music scene in Greenville, and for selfish reasons, I want them to succeed. We are college town that needs to have a good indie/college music scene. We will never be Athens, but we can aspire to be! We have two venues that host a lot of the good gigs in town: The Tipsy Teapot (aka Tipsy) and the Spazz Haus. We also have a great bluegrass venue 10 miles away called the Fountain General Store.
So, here is a list of acts coming to Greenville, NC–starting tonight! Links for bands are MySpace or band web pages.

Oh man it’s great to see someone helping to hype the shows. I work very hard to keep the Greenville music scene alive. I’d be more than happy to answer any questions or give an interview for your blog. I can also set up interviews with bands. Thanks again for spreading the good word!

Thanks for the note, Jeff. I’ll be in contact. You are doing great work!
thanks for supporting this great greenville scene – one of the most authentic and vibrant I have come across. Little Rock, Austin, Somerville, B’klyn, Ave. A, Eau Claire, lex/KY… none quite like The Spazz!!!
Chucks n’ dogs, support this thing and give it a chance to evolve into the vibrant, exciting scene it can be…
