Watch LKN Live Music Scene with Colin Furcht and start planning your weekend.
Weekend of August 21–23, 2026

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.
