We are so blessed with talent and artistry in NC. All levels.

This guy's been playing in the area for a while and by now he's actually pretty well 'discovered".   Good tune.  This video features the infamous "can-opener" bridge in Durham, NC.  They did a couple of new crashes and the director edited in a few of the classic crashes.

Sugaree String Society - A young, local couple that's been playing around town for a year or so - mostly free shows (play for tips essentially) in bars or clubs which have room to play music.  Traditional Appalachian/Folk/Bluegrass styles.  Sample their new record on Bandcamp if desired.  Nice, friendly folks - Jodi has a lovely voice.

that was an amazing collection of styles sort of ending up in a Hungarian klezmer type of thing. She also looked like she had the tailplane of a model aircraft attached to the back of her head but I couldn't identify it. Could have been a Raptor.

These guys are somewhat "discovered" by now.  They put on a good show.

I admit the first time I saw them was because I thought their name was cool.

Pretty cool.  I've heard about her but never heard her music before.

Yeah, kind of standing on the edge of dissonance without falling over into obnoxious.

From the Napa CA area
I sent their album to BillG as an iTunes gift but he hasn't picked it up yet.

I couldn't figure out why she was holding a violin bow & an accordion... pretty sure I've never seen that combo before... Oh. 
 
I liked it tho. But then, I like Joanna Newsom and Beirut, too. Diff'rnt strokes & whatnot.

That was great! Thanks for sharing it.

The actual tune doesn't start until about 0:50, but it's a good one.

Not exactly undiscovered, but I have been wondering why his career hasn't hit the ultra-bigtime. Maybe because he doesn't write a lot of original material?

This guy doesn't need any help, but wondering if you guys have heard of the new sensation who has just busted out in Columbia SC to hit the big time; Toro y Moi? It is good stuff and actually would fit in here, I will upload some when I have the slots.

He is not undiscovered, but how about a shout out to Austin Texas's Lee Barber. Diggin his new tune Let's Get Lost right now!
