May 15, 2027 Charlotte Blues Society Presents: The Pszenny Project Learn More The Rooster Venue Info 344 W Main Ave, Gastonia, NC 28052, USA 3:00 PM Time: - 6:00 PM 704-616-0291 The Rooster has partnered with Charlotte Blues Society for a monthly residency on the 3rd Friday of each month, featuring Blues artists in the Carolina's Blues community. May's guest is The Pszenny Project with special guest Alex J WolfeDoors open at 7pm, show starts at 8pm. All Ages. General Admission, standing room, tickets are $17 in advance and $20 at the door. Guaranteed seating tickets are $25 in advance, these are the only way to guarantee a seat at one of our tables. The Pszenny Project is a powerhouse blues-rock fusion band that thrives on raw energy, soulful grit, and electrifying musicianship. Fronted by Mark Pszenny, the group blends the emotional depth of traditional blues with the explosive drive of modern rock. Their sound is equal parts vintage swagger and contemporary fire — think Stevie Ray Vaughan colliding with Led Zeppelin, then turbocharged with fusion-inspired improvisation. From smoky guitar licks to thunderous rhythm sections, The Pszenny Project delivers a live experience that leaves audiences breathless and hungry for more. Born and raised between the Carolinas, Alex J. Wolfe is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and performer whose sound blends country, blues, and Americana into both timeless and pioneering art. Wolfe’s authenticity is distinguished, while still nodding to Southern tradition shaped by nature, history, and storytelling. On his debut EP, Ain’t Hard to Satisfy, he performed every instrument, showcasing a wide-ranging skill set and a clear artistic vision. He continued that hands-on approach with his latest EP, Kudzu, directing collaborators and further refining his signature sound. With a style that bridges timely sounds of the past and present, Alex J. Wolfe continues to carve out his place in music. < PREVIOUS CALENDAR NEXT >
