RAQ rolling through town

Thanks to Jambase for giving us the skinny on rock-quartet RAQ (pictured), scheduled to perform at the Georgia Theatre Wednesday, March 1. Little Green Chairs opens. Speaking of LGC the local jamband is boasting a slick new Web site these days AND has a few high-profile dates on the horizon. In addition to next week's Theatre gig, LGC has announced they'll partake in the South Carolina Family Gathering this June and the Shakori Hills GrassRoots Fest in April.

Here's more about RAQ: RAQ, the dynamic rock quartet from Burlington, Vermont, is hitting the road once again for a tour throughout the East Coast. Self described as "high performance rock and roll," RAQ's music features infusing live performances, kinetic improvisations and powerfully charged riffs, delighting the senses of the most discerning rock and roll aficionado. ...

RAQ developed their unique sound five years ago playing to ardent fans in local Burlington clubs. Their music has matured with age and experience and has evolved into a sound that is both retro and cutting-edge to a generation of grassroots music fans. They have performed at many of North America's highest profile venues and festivals including Tennessee's Bonnaroo Music Festival, Langerado Music Festival, moe-down as well as Gathering of the Vibes. They've graced the stages at The Great American Music Hall, have supported moe. at The Tabernacle Theater in Atlanta and sold out the famed BB King's in New York City. Last summer RAQ held their very own festival, the Lew Au, where over 600 fans were treated to a weekend of music and camping in New Woodstock, New York.

Their tour continued throughout the Northeast in early February. From there the group heats things up in warmer climates with shows in Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas.
