ONE Band with Charlotte is Creative
2025-12-09 18:00 - 22:00
Charlotte Is Creative’s new “flash band” experience, ONE Band, has been creating a megaton of creative energy, musical connection, and vibe-a-licious fun out in the community.
The OneBand concept is simple: we post a short setlist of popular songs, and anyone who wants to play those songs can sign up. And we mean ANYONE. Amateur musicians and professional players; newbies and veterans; hacks and savants. Any instrument; any skill level. The only qualifications are a desire to play music with others, and a willingness to learn and perform these songs together on a stage.
After ONE fun rehearsal (hosted by Jambox) and ONE rockin’ performance (hosted by Divine Barrel Brewing), the band disbands. And then we start the process all over again!
As we re-spark musical curiosity in our fellow community members, Charlotte becomes a more creative place – one song at a time. And we’re all about that!
