Welcome to Talking Culture! In this weekly interview series from 97.9 The Hill WCHL, you’ll hear from writers, performers, musicians and individuals involved in advancing and promoting cultural arts in our community.

This week, Aaron welcomes the band Fancy Gap back to the studio, ahead of a Halloween show at Local 506. Fancy Gap is the acclaimed duo of Stuart McLamb and Charles Crossingham; they drew raves in 2024 for their self-titled debut album, and they’re hoping to release a second album next year. In the meantime, though, they’ve been busy with live performances, with shows at the State Fair, the Shakori Hills festival, and the River Park Concert in Hillsborough – and on Halloween night, they’re welcoming everyone to Local 506 for a free show, starting with a full band performance at 8 p.m. with a DJ set from McLamb afterward.

Visit FancyGap.com for more on the band.
