Amos' Southend

The venue describes itself as Charlotte's oldest and most accomplished live entertainment venue. [amossouthend.com] The venue states it was established in 1990. [amossouthend.com] It is a two-story venue with a tiered mezzanine area. [amossouthend.com] The venue lists acts that have performed there including John Legend, Hootie and the Blowfish, John Mayer, Chris Stapleton, Firehouse, Cheryl Crow, the Beastie Boys, and Snoop Dogg. [amossouthend.com] The venue is located in South End, Charlotte, less than one mile from Uptown Charlotte, near the light rail's Bland Street station. [amossouthend.com] Its address is 1423 S Tryon St., Charlotte, NC 28203. [amossouthend.com] Amos' Southend originally closed after the parking lot across the street was sold and set to be redeveloped; owner John Ellison felt there would not be enough parking for a venue of that size to continue packing out shows. [www.charlottestories.com] Two years after closing, Ellison opened a smaller version of Amos' Southend holding 600 people, down from the prior venue's capacity of around 1,300 people. [www.charlottestories.com] The smaller, reopened Amos' Southend venue officially reopened on a Tuesday night in March 2019 with a performance by the Black Queens. [www.charlottestories.com] Ellison also owns the adjoining Gin Mill bar and restaurant, which was upgraded to include a large chunk of the old Amos venue, with a full bar, restaurant, and small stage. [www.charlottestories.com] Amos' Southend is a live music venue at 1423 South Tryon Street in Charlotte. Its own page dates the room to 1990 and describes it as two storeys with a tiered mezzanine. [amossouthend.com] The page names as past performers John Legend, Hootie and the Blowfish, John Mayer, Chris Stapleton, Firehouse, Sheryl Crow (spelled "Cheryl Crow" on the page), the Beastie Boys and Snoop Dogg, and says the room also books local bands. [amossouthend.com] The venue sits in South End, less than a mile from Uptown Charlotte. The Gin Mill occupies the front part of the Amos' building, the light rail stops behind the venue at Bland Street station, and parking is across the street in the RailYard South End complex. [amossouthend.com] In July 2018 Amos' Southend announced on Facebook that it would return, and its website was updated to read "Returning to the Southend 2019." [spectrumlocalnews.com] It had closed in summer 2016, one of a run of Charlotte live music venues to shut: South End's Tremont Music Hall, Elizabeth's Double Door Inn and NoDa's The Chop Shop. The article reports that most venues, especially those in South End, cited the changing neighbourhood as a reason for closing. [spectrumlocalnews.com] Its first run lasted nearly thirty years in Charlotte, about twenty of them at the South End location; before that it was in the Park Road Shopping Center. [spectrumlocalnews.com] The Gin Mill occupies the Amos' location and is under the same management. [spectrumlocalnews.com] Acts the article names as having played the room include The Roots, Skrillex, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Method Man and Redman. [spectrumlocalnews.com]
