Friday Night Live : Swampdawamp : July 11th, 2008

swampdawamp_speedstreetcharlotte051 Friday Night Live : Swampdawamp : July 11th, 2008  | Belmont NC 28012SwampDaWamp is Coming July 11th. This will definitely be a night that Belmont GETS Rocked! I personally have seen SwampDaWamp on more than one occasion and have to say that this is one show you do not want to miss. You may have seen them on FOX News Rising or heard them as special guest on 99.7 The Fox Smokin’ Blues show or on the main stage at SpeedStreet last year. Regardless of if you’ve seen them or not this will be a show you have to see.

UPDATE: Finally, something more than Beach Music. This was by far the BEST Friday Night Live I personally have experienced and the best birthday I could have hoped for. I really love these guys and wish them all the success they deserve. Keep checking back for pictures from last night

Belmont was Young, Foolish and Happy Last Night

Seems like each Friday Night Live the crowd just keeps getting larger and larger and last night was no exception as the The Tams rolled into Downtown Belmont even with the bad weather looming in background.

It was an exciting performance and an honor to see the last Tam standing perform to the crowd in front of the stage even though the show was probably cut short because of the lightning and ominous clouds.

For more information on The Tams you can visit their website at http://www.thetams.com

I did not forget my camera this time so Keep Reading more to see some of the pictures from last night’s event

Jim Quick and the Coastline Band

sneakin_cover Jim Quick and the Coastline Band  | Belmont NC 28012What a Friday Night Live to forget my camera. The Jim Quick and the Coastline Band performed Friday,  June 13th to one of the biggest crowds I’ve seen in Downtown Belmont. The Beer garden was in full swing and a little bigger this time and was packed the whole night.  Belmont was literally dancing in the streets.
