Dear Soul Music Co. is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a Community Connector Grant from theArts & Science Councill (ASC) to support LIVE in-store performance residencies at Hardy Boy Records at Camp North End.

This investment will help the organization launch a new performance residency, creating paid opportunities for independent artists while fostering meaningful connections between musicians, local businesses, and the Charlotte community.

Located at Hardy Boy Records at Camp North End, the residency will feature recurring live performances that promote local artists, celebrate vinyl culture, and encourage music discovery beginning in Fall 2026.

"At Dear Soul Music Co., we believe artists deserve more than a stage—they deserve consistent opportunities to connect with new audiences and be compensated for sharing their work. We're incredibly grateful to ASC and Hardy Boy Records for believing in this vision, and we look forward to opening applications for our inaugural Fall 2026 residency cohort later this summer," said Arsena Todd-Smalls, Founder and Executive Director of Dear Soul Music Co.

"Congratulations to Dear Soul Music Co. on receiving a Community Connector Grant. Strong cultural organizations need strong infrastructure, and this grant will help Dear Soul Music Co.," said Adam Santalla Pierce, President of the Arts & Science Council.
