LOCAL SCENE
🎶🎸 Local Artist Spotlight
Harvey Street
📍 Raleigh, NC | 🎵 Indie Rock / Alt
🎧 Charlotte’s Cathartic Storytellers
Harvey Street is one of the city’s most magnetic up-and-comers—fusing emotive alt-rock with the intimacy of a bedroom confessional. Their sound swells from hushed verses to soaring choruses, echoing the spirit of early 2000s indie while carving out something raw and deeply local.
With gritty vocals, layered guitar work, and a knack for live dynamics, Harvey Street turns small rooms into full-blown emotional experiences. You’ll catch their momentum building set-by-set—don’t miss your chance to say “I saw them before the big break.”
🎤 Performing live at The Evening Muse on April 19th—a perfect venue for their sound.
🎶 For fans of: Manchester Orchestra, Death Cab for Cutie, Pinegrove
🔥 Why Go?
✔️ Charlotte-grown with big-stage energy
✔️ Vulnerable lyrics, atmospheric builds, and just the right amount of angst
✔️ One of the most buzzworthy names in the Queen City's alt-rock revival
