MAXXMUSIC AND NODA BREWING COMPANY ANNOUNCE QUEEN CITY JAM SESSION
GREENSKY BLUEGRASS, OTEIL AND FRIENDS,
INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS, AND MORE scheduled to perform at inaugural three-day music festival on Aug. 19-21, 2022
Tickets on sale Friday, April 22, 2022 at QCJamSession.com
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The heart of the Carolinas has been longing for a multi-day music festival for years. Independent music promoter MaxxMusic has teamed up with one of Charlotte’s oldest breweries, NoDa Brewing Company, to present Queen City Jam Session, a three-day music festival being held on the grounds of NoDa Brewing Company’s main Charlotte location on North Tryon Street on Aug. 19-21, 2022.
GREENSKY BLUEGRASS, OTEIL AND FRIENDS (Oteil Burbridge, Eric Krasno, Steve Kimock, Jason Crosby, Johnny Kimock and Jen Hartswick) and INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS are set to perform at the festival. Other bands that have been announced include: Spafford, Rebirth Brass Band and Victor Wooten, as well as Charlotte-area performers Cyanca and Natalie Carr. Additional acts, as well as the daily lineup, will be announced in the coming days and weeks.
“I started MaxxMusic 26 years ago because bands were regularly skipping the Charlotte market and playing everywhere but here,” MaxxMusic founder Gregg McCraw says. “26 years later, it’s clear that most major cities have a music festival. It’s time that we had one of our own, so it’s exciting to fill that void. It’s the next obvious step in the evolution of MaxxMusic’s growth as an independent music promoter.”
Named after one of NoDa’s favorite craft beers, Queen City Jam Session will also feature food trucks, a VIP section with premium viewing and more.
“NoDa Brewing Co. has always had a passion for bringing together people in the community over a beer and for music,” Jacob Virgil, Director of Strategic Development for NoDa Brewing Company, says. “We are excited to marry the two and create what we hope will be Charlotte’s premier music festival for years to come.”
Tickets for the inaugural Queen City Jam Session music festival will go on sale on Friday, April. 22, at 10 a.m. On sale now are early bird ticket prices at $145 for a three-day pass and early bird VIP passes available for $245. Kids under 7 will get in free. VIP tickets include: premier seating, a dedicated bar, two beers included each day and access to an express entrance.
