CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLERIGHTNOW) – Whether you’re looking to take in cinematic short films, indie-folk brilliance, or a string-backed Coldplay tribute, there’s plenty to explore across the region. Each week, Anand Harsh of 106.1 The Corner will direct your attention to the music and arts events happening in Charlottesville and surrounding areas that you absolutely can’t miss.

Anand’s Picks to Click

CALL THE SITTER

  • May 1: Deaux Eyes, Chloe Ester, June Baby @ The Southern Café & Music Hall
    We support local music and these are three of the best singer-songwriters in the area coming together for this incredible showcase.

GET YOUR TICKETS

  • April 30: Yarn @ The Southern Café & Music Hall
    I defy you to not have the song “Love/Hate” stuck in your head for the next six weeks. It’s the sneakiest of ear worms.

    Both of these fun and melodic college rock acts are friends of The Corner and have an infectious sound. This is just plain fun.
