Friday will bring the sixth and latest installment of our annual local-music spotlight, Eight Great Local Acts, which we've been toiling away on for the past few months. Despite the fact that we've got a lot fewer worker bees in here than we used to, I think this year's Great Eight is the best ever. So I'll be making the local multi-media rounds to talk it up beyond the attention it has already picked up from the totally cool preview trailer. There will be a report about it on the morning news on NBC-17; and I'm scheduled to be on 850 The Buzz at about 9 a.m. Friday.
As for the bands themselves, a couple are playing WKNC's Double Barrel Benefit this weekend in Raleigh; and there's also the Great Eight showcase coming up on Feb. 13 at Local 506 in Chapel Hill. Hope to see you out and about at either, or both.
