PBS North Carolina Presents: The Great Coverup

Join PBS North Carolina for an unforgettable evening celebrating The Great Cover Up, the long-running, much-loved Triangle music tradition where local bands deliver unforgettable tribute performances all for a great cause.

PBS is rolling out the red carpet at The Rialto for a special community screening of all new documentary coming to PBS NC this summer, The Great Cover Up. The film will be followed by a lively panel discussion and audience Q+A with the filmmaking team, longtime performers, and the event’s original founder.
