Mike’s return to the McGlohon Theater will be the first performance of his 2012 “Crossin’ Carolina Tour,” with upcoming concerts across the state including Greensboro, Durham, Winston-Salem, Morehead City and Wilmington.

Cross’s one-man, turbo-charged stage shows serve up a collection of humorous songs, sensitive ballads, Will Rogers-like tales, Delta blues, and fiery Celtic and Appalachian fiddle tunes, all while switching effortlessly from fiddle to six and twelve-string guitars.

Mike’s music is a unique blend of folk, blues, rock, country, and Irish, spiced with a good dose of wonderfully warped wit, which “crosses” all musical boundaries and defies categorization.

“I always look forward to playing in Charlotte and it will be a special treat to perform in that beautiful theater named for the legendary Loonis McGlohon.” Cross said, “Of course the best part of the evening for me is getting to talk with old friends and meeting new concert goers after the show.”

Mike’s song “Carolina Calling” was featured by the NC Department of Tourism for a Visit North Carolina ad campaign. A song he wrote in 1973 called “The Scotsman” gained notoriety as the theme song for the Dr. Demento Radio Show, and “Leon McDuff” was recorded and performed by the Dirt Band for the first Farm Aid Concert.

Get you tickets early for an evening of music and laughter you will never forget!

A gleefully outrageous reinterpretation of Creation featuring Adam and Steve – and Jane and Mabel! They are on a journey of wonder and exploration, from their bodily functions to the names of the animals and the nature of their relationship with their Creator.

After being banished from Eden, together the quartet survives the centuries, including time on the Ark during the Flood years, slavery in Egypt ruled by a supremely effete Pharaoh, and concluding with life in modern day New York City.

Spanning over three centuries, Children Of All Ages have relished the arrival of The Greatest Show On Earth to their hometown. The show comes to town in a 53-car-long steel coach and contains some of the most exotic cargo on earth. Housing artists from all over the world, accompanied by creatures large and small, the fabled Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® train is a virtual Noah’s Ark!

The animals will be unloaded from the train at 10 p.m. at W. 3rd and Graham and make their way on W. 3rd street. They will take a left onto South Poplar Street and right onto Trade Street. They will continue on Trade Street straight past Time Warner Cable Arena® and then left onto N. Caldwell Street. They will make a final left into the back loading dock of the arena.
