FCS Trio Performing at The Oxford Gastropub in Raleigh, NC ~ January 30, 2011

My wife and I took advantage of the beautiful weather this past weekend and made a trip to Downtown Raleigh on Sunday.  While there, we decided to pop into The Oxford Gastropub on Fayetteville Street to have a cocktail and enjoy the smooth Jazz sounds of the Fusion Collective South Trio.  They perform each Sunday during brunch at The Oxford from around 11am-3pm.   The FCS Trio features Michael Pelz-Sherman on keys, Charles Barchuck on drums, and Sean Geist on Upright Bass.  Check out the video below for a sample of their performance on Sunday. 

Sean Geist also performs with Route 66, a trio consisting of two bassists and a drummer.  Route 66 will be performing at Electric Beanz Coffee Bar in Raleigh on Friday 2/18 from 7-9pm.   For details about other upcoming gigs visit the FCS Facebook Fanpage.

Picture of the Week – Music on the patio at Uncorked!

Uncorked

This week’s picture comes from my table on the patio at Uncorked, a wine shop located in North Raleigh in the Falls River Town Center.  They hold free wine tastings each Friday and often have live music on Saturday nights out on the Patio.  On the night this photo was taken, my wife and I were enjoying a great acoustic performance by Donnie Howard.  We returned to Uncorked the following week and saw another talented act called “Attic Orchestra”.  They were a four piece band made up of a flute, stand-bass, violin, and electric guitar.  If you want to know what bands are coming to Uncorked sign up for their newsletter on their website follow them on Facebook!
