Colin Furcht welcomes fall with a weekend of live music around Lake Norman. Friday’s picks include yacht rock from Thirsten Howell at Boatyard, Little Johnny Trail Trash at Bin 110, and Avalora’s lake-area debut at Makaya’s. On Saturday, TTW Band brings a mix of classic rock, country, blues, oldies, and Motown to Lake Norman Brewery, while Lexi and the Ravens bring their high-energy sound to 158 on Main.
The weekend builds to Rock the Lake 3 on Sunday at Lake Norman Brewery. Colin runs through the day’s bands, thanks the 24 Foundation and event sponsors, and shares where to find ticket information. Watch for his take on the performers and pick the shows you want to catch.
