Southside Watt is a dynamic band with roots in Charlotte, NC, blending a unique mix of rock, country, blues, and rap influences to create an exciting live music experience. The band recently performed at both the Lovin Life Music Festival and the Carolina Country Music Festival, continuing to build on their reputation as one of the region’s most innovative and crowd-pleasing acts.
Their sound is born out of years of performance, with origins going back to their early days as "The Accidentals," a name later changed in honor of their late friend, Sabrina Watt. They’ve recorded at the iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, capturing the essence of the Tennessee River’s musical magic. Their original album 8 Track and the pandemic-era singles “Highway Living” and “Promises” showcase their evolving sound, combining deep grooves with a Southern flair.
Having been named Charlotte’s Best Up-and-Coming Band by Elevate Magazine in 2019, Southside Watt has solidified themselves as a must-see band in the Southeast music scene. Their live shows offer an unforgettable blend of raw energy and soulful storytelling, earning them a dedicated fan base.
ANNA J
Start time: 08:00 PM
Rising songwriter Anna J Stamato is making her official debut in country music as she fuses country’s rhythmic storytelling with pop’s catchy melodies. Drawing inspiration from Randy Travis, Taylor Swift, and Alan Jackson, the 25 year old Frederick, MD native has her footings in the classic country sound while making it distinctively her own. In 2016, Anna was accepted into the esteemed Songwriting program at Belmont University, where she studied with Grammy award winning professors, producers, and mentored under Marcus Hummon (co-writer of “Cowboy Take Me Away” by The Chicks and “Bless The Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts). Since graduating in May of 2020, Anna has been performing both in Nashville, TN and Charlotte, NC while releasing music as an Independent artist. Her latest single 'Frustrated' was recorded and produced at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN. In May 2023, she concluded a 3+ month run on aBreaks Music's radio playlist with her song "Better Than That" at #3 as the only Country artist in the top 10. Her single "Frustrated" also premiered on the aBreak radio chart in the summer of 2023 and made it to the top 5 as well, concluding its run at #4. In June of 2024, her 2022 debut single 'Nobody with Nobody' hit #1 on the aBreak 58 chart.
