Charlotte SHOUT! is an annual celebration of Queen City art, music, food and ideas — and it’s scheduled to return later this year! So we’ve tapped our city’s creatives to help get us pumped for the festivities by highlighting the creativity that graces Charlotte all year long.

We may not be able to watch concerts in our favorite venues, the music cannot be silenced. On this episode of SHOUTing from the Rooftops, Charlottean Henry Roe covers “Forever On Your Side” in his front yard.

Tip Henry

If you love the song, give Henry a tip on Venmo: @Henry-Roe-1

Here’s what he had to say about what this song means to him:

“I chose this song because it reminds me that during times of uncertainty, we may not know what is around the corner. But we do know that our need for one another never changes.”

And, Henry has advice to his fellow creatives:

“Use your gifts to encourage and inspire others. It may not be what you did yesterday or what you will do in the future, but be creative where you are now.”
