Hey there, live music fans! Durham’s shaking off the winter slump early, and the new outdoor stage at Hub RTP is already full of life. The first concerts, beginning with a lunch time residency Wednesday, March 4, have people gathering again, hanging out, and soaking up live music in the open air. Sonic Pie Productions is behind it all, putting together FREE concerts so every set hits just right. It’s all about bringing the community back together through great music, right here at home.

Set in the heart of Research Triangle Park, Hub RTP is the downtown of the largest research park in the United States, designed for food, events, and community connection.

As we kick off the debut season of music at Hub RTP with a new stage, Sonic Pie Productions is proud to help shape what this space can become: a place where sound, small businesses, and community all meet. As SPP CEO Tess Mangum puts it:

“We believe live music builds community and commerce, and are thrilled to help launch and curate this new outdoor stage, full of free concerts, events, and locally-owned restaurants and retail. The bodega, Nanny Goat, has some insanely good caramels. Season one’s music lineup will be eclectic, local, regional, and national artists and we definitely encourage dancing.”

Our December 3 Hub RTP soft launch (pictured below) after GSF Productions installed stage lights, sub woofers and main speakers, was cold, but it was something we had to do, for a musician we love and admire: a tribute to D’Angelo, led by powerhouse vocalist and Durham native Tamisha Waden and an all-star crew of local players. Proof that even in the cold, the music and the community show up strong.
