Three years ago, this started as conversations on a sidewalk outside a coffee shop. On Friday, September 18th, we take the Triad stage for the tenth time. Ten sold-out nights.

This one is a celebration — of the community that built all of it. Expect the world-class music and serendipitous magic that define a Night at the Triad, plus reprised moments from across the run, returning faces, and a room full of the people who made these ten nights possible.
