It’s going to be an amazing music fueled weekend with a full line up supporting the city’s growing breadth of genres and musical identity. With 19 local artists and bands over the course of 2 days, the lineup is a Charlotte medley of original musicians whose genres span Indie to neo-soul, rock to R&B and more ([check out the line up here](https://usnwc.org/relax/festivals/confluence/)).

Local songbird and songwriter [Emily Sage](https://www.instagram.com/emilysagemusic/?hl=en) will be performing and I’m a sucker for her lullaby vocals and soul roots sound. Also, [Brett Dennen](https://www.instagram.com/brettdennen/?hl=en)’s guitar pickin’ and fun loving songwriting reminds me just how much I love summer, even in 95-degree heatwaves. If you know me then you know I’m a fan of supporting solid efforts of cultivating culture in our city’s proverbial backyard, and if we want more fun free stuff to attend across the Queen City then showing up is the easiest and most enjoyable way of telling our Meck County powers-that-be to ‘Keep Going!’ So count me in, I’ll be there with a blanket, my crew, and a cold brew.” – Sara Colée --- ### Picks from Roman Perryman – [@romantheempire](https://www.instagram.com/romantheempire/) **Event of Choice: Aquarium Yoga with SEA LIFE** **When & Where:** August 10 at 9 am at SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord Aquarium **Tickets:** Start at $5.

All proceeds for this 5k will benefit the Latin American Coalition, the oldest and largest immigrant rights organization of the region. The LAC fills a much-needed hole in Charlotte, helping the Latino immigrant community successfully integrate. We’re a city of immigrants, and it’s about time we started supporting each other.” – Kara Vasseur
