Kurt Vile is a very talented guitarist and singer-songwriter who (jokingly) stated at last night’s show that he’s recently ‘been on a bender,’ but he’s never sounded better. His voice is so clear, so distinct and in true form, his hair is always in his face.

It’s been a year since Kurt Vile And The Violators took the stage in Charlotte, North Carolina, but they were back again at the Neighborhood Theatre on Saturday night. Opening for Kurt Vile was the entrancing Emily Robb who gave an intriguing performance.
