While the Haw River Ballroom doesn't have a packed out schedule with bands playing night in and night out, they've got the upper hand on most venues around the area for one reason, consistency. Now this isn't to say that other venues aren't consistently bringing in great artists, but if you're heading out to a show at Haw River you're guaranteed to have a damn good time.
The atmosphere within the old mill is one that can't be recreated even if you tried. The acoustics within Haw River make for the perfect stage for a variety of acts, as evidenced by the fantastic and versatile names that have already graced the stage of the venue. Last week saw Archers of Loaf, the indie rock icons of North Carolina, and earlier this year the stage held acts like Megafaun, The Mountain Goats, and Cass McCombs. Well lightning strikes once again for Haw River, as it was recently announced that the rustic sounds of The Tallest Man on Earth will be filling the room in Saxapahaw on Wednesday, July 25.
