NOW OR NEVER, the band, grew from the creative vision of Tiffany Elaine. It's a continuing evolution as their styles continue to melt together and new songs are written.They found their groove by combining alt-country, folk, hip hop, rock and roll and a touch of the blues. Hard to describe, but easy to listen to.

March 14, 2019 | 7:00 pm-8:30 pm
1008 Arendell Street, Morehead City
Come listen to acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Becky Warren singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has won both the Merlefest Songwriting Contest and the Kerrville New Folk Competition. She formerly performed with the Boston-based alternative country band the Great Unknowns as their frontwoman, beginning in 2003. In 2016, she released her solo debut album, War Surplus, a concept album that follows a fictional couple, Scott, and his girlfriend-turned-wife, June. Warren performs all of the album's songs from either Scott's or June's perspective. The album is based on Warren's own life, as she married a soldier in 2005 who was deployed to fight in the Iraq War soon afterward. When he returned, he had developed posttraumatic stress disorder. Four years after they married, Warren and her husband divorced. Warren spent four year writing the songs on War Surplus. The music will be from 7:00-8:30 pm. Admission is free, though we’ll “pass the hat” for Becky. All are welcome as we build community through music!

Please grab a fistfull of your poems and other scribbles and come on out and share. It's a supportive group in a welcoming atmosphere. Some poets are published in chapbooks, literary magazines, e-zines, and on-line. Other poets and writers show up who are newcomers to the open mic scene. No experience is necessary!
Also, you do not need to be a member of the non-profit writing organization the "Carteret Writers." Would I recommend it? Absolutely! For $30/year in membership dues, there is a monthly newsletter filled with upcoming activities, publication opportunities, and relevant contests. We also have a monthly luncheon with guest speaker that is held at Clawson's in Beaufort, NC.
So come one, come all, but do come out to the Carteret Writers Open Mic. First Thursday of every month. Held at Sweet Beans Coffee & Cafe (Morehead City). Free and open to the public. Kid friendly.

Playing drums in rock bands for most of his high school days, after graduation Mikele bought his first guitar. He started writing songs and playing local taverns, bars, and bonfire parties, testing his own songs out on friends and family. His original songs are a blend of all his musical influences, including Steve Earle, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt and Red-Dirt artists like Randy Rodgers Band and Reckless Kelly. After returning from the Iraq war in 2005, Mikele went to Nashville to record his first CD and established his first band near Greenville NC.

Front Street Village, Lennoxville Road, Beaufort
(252) 728-2141
In the mid-1980s at a boatyard in Annapolis, MD., Captain Bob Turner wore socks all during the long, cold winter months while working on OPB's (Other People's Boats). By winter's end, his socks were stand-up stiff with sawdust, caulk and bottom paint. ON the first day of spring, Capt. Bob placed his leavings laden socks in a paint tray, doused them with lighter fluid, set them on fire, and then drank beer to celebrate. And so the spring tradition of sock burning began and it has grown to coastal communities across the country.
Come join us and celebrate the age old maritime tradition of burning your socks on the spring solstice. Enjoy oysters, food, brew and music. Tickets are $25 and available online at www.beaufortnc.com or at Backstreet Pub in Beaufort.
Bring a pair of old socks to burn. Bring a pair of new socks to donate.

With his towering height and powerful voice, Bryan Mayer, is making a BIG impact on the country music scene. A North Carolina native, the six foot seven singer/songwriter began his journey in music when he was 13. The son of a US Marine Corp Colonel and a Navy nurse, while stationed in Quantico, VA, Bryan was tapped by his middle school teacher, Dr. Drake, to play upright bass in the school band, for his already impressive height of 6’1” in the seventh grade. Although Bryan enjoyed playing the bass, the lore of the front man aspect and realizing he could sing led him to pick up the guitar. After some impromptu performances at keg parties at his house in college at ECU, Bryan ended up on the Carolina sands of Oak Island, NC. It was there that he started crafting his style and gutting it out in any bar, restaurant, or private party that would hire him. “Everyone would always tell me that I was going to make it someday. Some wondered why I hadn’t already,” says Mayer. “I knew this was what I was put on earth to do.”

Alongside the album release, BALLYHOO! co-headlined the 2013 Summer Sickness Tour with Authority Zero and special guests Versus The World. Pineapple Grenade is the band’s follow-up to the 2011 LAW Records release of “Daydreams,” which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Reggae Charts and #4 on Amazon.
BALLYHOO!’s unique yet melodic blend of genres, along with their hardcore devotion to the road and their fans have pitched them into snowballing success.

300 Links Drive, Beaufort
On Saturday, April 27, 2019, the 6th Annual Kirsten McDonald Memorial Charity Golf Tournament, also known as Play the K, will be held at the Beaufort Club Golf Course. The goal of this tournament is to create a sustainable memorial to honor Kirsten's life and to support deserving youth in Carteret County.
100% of the net proceeds raised will be donated to local nonprofit organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Plain.
As many of you may know, Kirsten lost her life in a tragic automobile accident on March 6, 2012, exactly one month shy of her 21st birthday. Kirsten always had a beautiful, bright smile on her face. Her strong, loving personality and her passion for others - regardless of their background, education or color of their skin - radiated from within her heart and soul. Kirsten had the capacity to see beyond others' social and economic circumstances. Instead, she chose to focus on their inherent goodness.
