Music by WAYLAND “That’s Life” Story by Gary Carota www.facebook.com/pages/Gary-Carota-Images/1446109878980969 Photography credit: Jenna Wolf Currently winding down their US Tour, the band Wayland (from Grand Rapids, Michigan), will finish playing over 300 dates this year, to over half a million people. On their final North Carolina tour stop this year, they rolled into Charlotte on Oct 9, 2015, performing in front of an intimate crowd of 250 people at The Rabbit Hole, in the "artsy community" of Plaza Midwood. For anyone, who has never seen these guys live, they give an amazing 110% while onstage, and this show was no exception! They came out with guitars blazing with Mitch Arnold's ION Journalist Gary Carota with Wayland and LaureNicole Band unbelievable vocals, and did a full 90 minute set of all their hits--even throwing in some brand new stuff from their forthcoming album, including the newest radio hit "Bloody Sunrise".
