Already Not Yet

  • The band has played at venues around Charlotte such as The Evening Muse, Little Dooey's Bar and Grille, The Smelly Cat, The Keg and Cue, and has been played on 106.5 The End's Sunday night show "90 Minutes".

Satisfied Listeners

  • The band has been played on 106.5 The End as well as 99.3 here in Charlotte NC.
  • "The Already Not Yet Band is a band that finally brings something new to the music scene. They entertain throughout their whole set with unique violin melodies, progressive guitar riffs, and catchy walking bass lines. If you are looking for some new music and a show that will leave you talking afterwards, I recommend The Already Not Yet Band. I can't get enough. They are good. Too Good." - Nick Conley Code Blue Media
  • "worst band name ever. but i'm digging on their music. Chris' lyrics have got that re-listen-able appeal to them. I don't have any idea how Jon gets those tones out of his guitar. i think it's magic. Taylor and Sam know how to lay down the groovy jams and i feel like there's something new in the mix every time i listen to a track." Josh Abe from hipstercollective.com
  • (This quote is the best I can remember it) - "You know who the most talented musician out of that whole group is? I've heard some drummers, and I've heard them in Nashville, but that drummer is the best I've ever seen! He could make professional money" - Scott Shamblin of "The Five Finger Discount Band"
