“Most Charlotteans know artist and performer Andy the Doorbum as precisely that– the clear-eyed, messy-haired door guy at one of the nation’s oldest punk venues, Charlotte’s own World Famous Milestone Club. Or maybe you know him through the 2015 Art War he waged at Plaza Midwood’s beloved Snug Harbor for his month-long Native/Alien Movement residency which encouraged artists to “Create or Perish.” Or perhaps Charlotteans know about Andy Fenstermaker simply through his chimerical music.” – Shirley Griffith, CLTure
