   E102 - John Tosco, Tosco Music

   This month on episode 102 of the QCMP I'm sitting down with local icon John Tosco, executive director of Tosco Music. What started as informal music gatherings at his home over 35 years ago has turned into a 501c3 non-profit organization which presents a wide variety of music through performances and outreach programs. Tosco Music fosters a sense of community among listeners and performers, while also connecting  professional  and amateur musicians through the power of music. ______________________________ Tosco Music Website (https://toscomusic.org/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ToscoMusic) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/toscomusic) ____________________________ Matthew Ablan website (https://matthewablan.com/) Instagram  (https://www.instagram.com/matthewablan/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/matthewablanmusic) ______________________________________________ Sponsors Midwood Guitar Studio (https://midwoodguitarstudio.com/) Goldie's - Live Music & Food (https://www.goldiesclt.com/) ________________________________________________ Local Partners Charlotte New Music (https://charlottenewmusic.org/) Blacker the Berry Lemonade (https://www.btblemonade.com/) The Evening Muse (https://www.eveningmuse.com/) Earshot Events (https://www.earshotevents.com/)

   E101 - Carrie Ann, musician

   This month on episode 101 of the QCMP I'm sitting down with the amazing Carrie Ann. She's carved out a wonderful niche for herself as a solo cover performer, but is also a member of  The Black Crowes tribute band - Hard 2 Handle and One Bar Short -  which performs jump blues and good time rock 'n' roll of the 50's. She's filling us in on how she developed her unique solo show, what it's like playing in a tribute band and so much more. ___________________________________ Carrie Ann Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/carrieannmusicianofficial) Spotify Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/carrieannmusicianofficial/) Hard 2 Handle, The Black Crowes Experience (https://www.facebook.com/hard2handlenc) ___________________________________ Matthew Ablan website (https://matthewablan.com/) Instagram  (https://www.instagram.com/matthewablan/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/matthewablanmusic) ______________________________________________ Sponsors Midwood Guitar Studio (https://midwoodguitarstudio.com/) Goldie's - Live Music & Food (https://www.goldiesclt.com/) ________________________________________________ Local Partners Charlotte New Music (https://charlottenewmusic.org/) Blacker the Berry Lemonade (https://www.btblemonade.com/) The Evening Muse (https://www.eveningmuse.com/) Earshot Events (https://www.earshotevents.com/)
