Concert Review: Rozey and Quadeca
On October 24th, I had the opportunity to visit the Motorco Music Hall in Durham, North Carolina, to see artists Rozey and Quadeca. Before this show, I was only really familiar with Quadeca (although I wouldn’t call myself a fan at that stage yet). The whole reason I went was because a friend had asked me to go.
As we got to the show, there was a line forming an hour early at the doors, not just VItickets, but regular general admission ticket holders as well. We got in line by a large tour bus out front of the venue and began our hour-long wait.
