Tomorrow: DBB 12

Post date February 6, 2015

Tomorrow night marks the first of WKNC’s two-part fundraiser, Double Barrel Benefit. Now in its 12th year, Double Barrel Benefit has helped to keep the station afloat while promoting what we care about most: the local music community.

In order to keep up our efforts, we need your help. Consider attending either one or both nights of what we believe to be a stacked lineup, one we spent countless hours preparing in order to make your donations worthwhile. It’s the one time of the year that we reach out for your support (no telethons here), and we do it in what we consider to be the best way possible. So grab a friend, get some tickets, and meet us down at Lincoln Theatre tomorrow for night one.

Tickets and more information are available here: http://wknc.org/dbb12/
