@queencitynerve ‘s Best in the Nest 2024, Critic’s Pick for Best Music Organization!

We are so incredibly thankful, shocked, honored, and thrilled. It’s so validating seeing our hard work pay off in our innovative performance experiences from Name That Tune (classically infused video game music performed live and paired with trivia), Melody & Mayhem (Super Smash Brothers Ultimate game tournament with live, interactive music), Campfire Tales (tabletop gaming performed with interactive improvisatory music with audience interaction and recorded in podcast form), and so much more.

Thank you so much.
Check out our website to see where you can enjoy our shows next!

🚨ANNOUNCING🚨
the premiere of Campfire Tales 🔥

What’s your favorite scary movie? Join us for a special and unique event where local creators join us as collaborative storytellers as we weave a tale of hysterics and tragedy unlike any other. Unlike traditional Dungeons and Dragons with dice rolling, character actions will be determined by pulling blocks from the giant Tumbling Block Tower. Interacting with player actions, listen as the musical soundscape is created by our house bard!

Creatives from the community include a wide range of disciplines. We will have incredible merch ready for you to feast your eyes upon, all created by local creatives. Join us for our official camp sing-along, and be sure to grab tasty beverages from our incredible host @freerangebrew. Oh and did we mention the audience will directly impact the story?!

September 18th at 6:30 pm at Free Range Brewing. Mark your calendars; we’re dying to meet you.

To purchase tickets, visit our bio. Limited VIP tickets available.

We have been watching the weather and made the difficult choice to postpone tomorrow’s Music & Nature event due to inclement weather with the hurricane. Everyone’s safety is more important.

The new date is October 24 @ 12 pm at the lovely @divinebarrelclt . We hope to see you there. Have a great weekend and stay dry! by @phoenixdownrpg
