This week on Colin’s Backstage Pass, we sit down with Karl Gunther—a local legend shaping the sound of Lake Norman. Musician, teacher, mentor, and producer, Karl has been the driving force behind countless rising bands. Hear the stories behind the artists he’s “discovered” and the talent he’s helped turn into something big. Get a rare look at what he truly looks for in the next breakout act. Around here, he’s nothing short of the Wizard of Oz—quietly creating stars from local high school stages.

Colin Furcht is a long-time Lake Norman local and current Cornelius Town Commissioner who has also become one of the region’s most trusted live‑music authorities. From town hall to backstage, he’s just as comfortable grilling policy as he is talking set lists with bands and venue owners. As the host of LKN Live Music Scene and Colin’s Back Stage Pass on LKNConnect, Colin spotlights the area’s hottest acts, must‑play stages, and can’t‑miss weekends—calling it like he sees it and dragging Lake Norman out of the house one killer show at a time.
