SUMMARY:Sound Makers Social
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Collaboration Corp.\nWhen: March 13\, April 10\, May 15 (6:30pm)\nWhere: Dupp&Swat (1824 Statesville Ave #105\, Charlotte\, NC 28206) \n\nStep into the world of sound at Sound Makers Social—a creative hub where music\, culture\, and connection collide. This isn’t just another event; it’s a gathering of artists\, producers\, and music lovers ready to experience new sounds and build real connections. \nEach edition features 5 producers taking the stage for high-energy 10 – 15 minute sets\, showcasing their unique styles\, beats\, and live creations. It’s your chance to hear what’s next\, whether you’re an artist looking for your next producer\, a producer searching for collaborators\, or simply someone who loves discovering fresh music. \nFor the lyricists in the room\, the Emcee Cyphers keep the mic alive and raw. Step up\, spit your bars\, and let your voice be heard—because we’re always scouting for talent to spotlight in future opportunities. \nAnd don’t miss the crowd-favorite Pass The Aux\, where selected producers and artists get two minutes to play their sounds—whether it’s a new track\, an unreleased beat\, or a rough draft idea. Limited spots mean you’ll want to lock in early\, but the payoff is worth it: a chance to share your creativity with an audience that’s all ears. \nSound Makers Social is more than a show—it’s a space where community\, collaboration\, and culture thrive. Come through\, vibe out\, and be part of the sound.
