Cat’s Cradle, in conjunction with North Carolina veteran music documentary filmmakers Magic Umbrella, Inc, present a special night of eclectic performances that define the region, all to be filmed live. The initial salvo of a new project to document the best musical artists of the community will be capturing an evening with the Shoaldiggers, Charles Latham and the Borrowed Band, and Teeth of England in the Cradle’s Main Room on Friday, June 13. Under the moniker “Live at Cat’s Cradle” the evening brings you:
The Shoaldiggers, propelling their hybrid mix of deep roots rock, swamp grass, Americana, black & blues, freak folk, and good times party music through their 9-piece configuration that they are so known for. From Durham, NC, wry lyricist and charismatic frontman Charles Latham leads the dynamic, high-octane Borrowed Band (which includes former members of Ben Folds Five, Shooter Jennings, Six-String Drag and more) on a wild ride from ballads to barnstormers.
Hailing from Wilmington, NC, and no stranger to the Triangle area’s audiences, (remembered fondly in this area for his involvement with crunching maniacs Rural Swine 20 years ago) Dave Sinclair’s proto-rock Teeth of England plies its trade, jammed through the detour of the Memphis underground scene. This rollicking night should have something to offer to everyone, and a wonderful crossover of styles to energize each act. With a concept to memorialize these bands’ sets by filming them on the legendary stage at the big room at Cat’s Cradle. Don’t miss this!
