YOUNG AGES
Charlotte, NC
"Hailed as Charlotte, North Carolina’s first hard rock band, The Young Ages formed in 1966 and still continue to perform in 2010. Although very popular in and around the Charlotte area, the band was destined for greater things—including a national TV appearance—after winning a talent contest. Unfortunately, as was so often the case during the era, the Vietnam War put an early end to things. The Young Ages did leave behind an ureleased demo (a cover of The Four Tops’ ‘Reach Out’ b/w ‘In My Own Time’) and, although they never issued a record, their recent performances are still drawing large crowds whenever they perform."
