It's difficult to review a place you want to like, if only for the concept it emulates and what it has to offer.
The Inn is a coffeehouse, a music venue, a place for kids to hang out, and a place to attend church services. "Christian" Rock bands from all over NC and surrounding states have played here. The biggest difficulty here is the lack of an audience. Once the church service lets out Saturday evening, the folks go home and don't stick around for a rockin' good time. The bands are good, original, not just quickly thrown together wannabe's, they play for the sake of playing, and there's a full blown light show to go along with the music.
The real issue is with those who call themselves "Christians" yet do not support the venue. When a venue for "Rock bands with a message" is ignored by the very people who should support them, that tells you the "religious" demographic isn't interested in outreach, which is a shame for everyone involved.
I'm hoping The Inn sees success. read more
