Get ready for a jazz experience that's more refreshing than a mint julep on a hot summer day. The one and only Etienne Charles, a trumpet virtuoso straight out of Trinidad, is bringing his mind-blowing creation, the Gullah Roots Suite, to North Carolina for the very first time. This isn't just a concert; it's a musical journey diving deep into the rich and often overlooked stories of the Gullah Geechee culture. You know, the tales from the Low Country of South Carolina and Georgia that deserve a spotlight, preferably one that's big enough to also fit a jazz ensemble.

Etienne is more than just a trumpeter; he's a musical storyteller on a mission to explore untold tales and sounds that make you tap your feet and ponder life, all at once. With his dreamy trumpet melodies and grooves that might even get your toes tapping harder than your morning coffee, he'll soothe your soul and provoke thought about the juicy, and sometimes spicy, issues we don't always chat about over Sunday brunch. So grab your tickets before they vanish faster than your favourite snack at a movie theatre — they start at a cool $37.75, which is a steal for an evening with such musical wizardry.
