DUGWISE

Today Mike is on the road and not able to record from the fantastic French Quarter Restaurant.  Instead he took this opportunity to sit down with his Dad and Grandma to talk about how the family came to call Charlotte home. Dad shares a great story about being stuck in Bolivia at age 16 during a revolution. They also talk about how his dad, as a senior in high school in 1971, found out he was going to be a father. Mike's grandma then joins the show to talk about her Sicilian roots and how her mom and dad came to America from Sicily. Enjoy the show. Dig Your Roots. 

Chris McClure was working at a Foot Locker in Spartanburg, South Carolina when, on a whim, he found himself as the tour manager for a national recording artist. Since then he's worked with everyone from Hall and Oates to Missy Elliott.  Now he's a managing partner for East Coast Entertainment, one of  the largest entertainment booking agency in America.  He talks about his life in music and what he thinks is in store for Charlotte. He also drops a BIG SURPRISE for the future of outdoor music events uptown. You hear it here first!
