The North Carolina Museum of Art kicks off its 2018 Summer Concert Series with First Aid Kit and Jade Bird on Friday, June 8, which is already sold out as are tickets for Mandolin Orange’s June 23 show.
“Summer concerts and movies have been an NCMA tradition for two decades, and we’re excited to launch another season of great music and entertainment,” the website states. “Our venue — the Joseph M. Bryan, Jr., Theater in the Museum Park — is situated in the heart of the Museum campus amid gardens, meadows, woodlands, and sculpture.”
However, tickets are available for Shovels and Rope and Son Volt on at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 16.
Shovels and Rope is the remarkable duo of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, partners in life as well as in music, who’ve built a national following with their signature blend of acoustic guitars, drums, and vocals. The Charleston, S.C., couple broke through with their 2012 album O’ Be Joyful, which earned them “Best Emerging Artist” at the Americana Music Awards. Learn more.
