Zach Seabaugh comes back to Charlotte for the first time since 2022

The Nashville-based singer-songwriter plays the Neighborhood Theatre Tap Room on Feb. 25, his first Charlotte date in more than four years.

Zach Seabaugh's last Charlotte show was Sept. 18, 2022, at the Neighborhood Theatre. More than four years later he's coming back under the same name on the marquee, in a smaller setting: Seabaugh plays the Neighborhood Theatre Tap Room on Thursday, Feb. 25, 2027, at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $27.50 through Ticketmaster, and the date was announced Oct. 19.

A lot of people first heard Seabaugh on television. He was a contestant on Season 9 of NBC's The Voice, where he finished fifth overall. That's the kind of exposure that can define a young artist for years, and what's interesting about Seabaugh is how far the music has moved since. He's now a Nashville-based indie-pop singer-songwriter, writing songs that lean on storytelling and melody rather than on the big-note moments a singing competition rewards.

You can hear that in the recent singles. "Eastern Time," which premiered at Glide Magazine, is a nostalgic, soulful indie-folk song about missing home. "I Am Only Ever Thinking About You," reviewed by Atwood Magazine, is a quiet acoustic love song, a small snapshot of commitment. Neither sounds like a TV performance. Both sound like songs written to be heard up close.

The Voice got people to listen. The songs since have given them a reason to keep listening.

That's what makes the Tap Room a good call. A smaller room suits a songwriter whose recent material is acoustic and personal, and it means the crowd that shows up on a Thursday in late February will be people who came specifically to hear him. At $27.50, it's also one of the more affordable ways to see an artist with this kind of following.

The four-and-a-half-year gap is worth noting too. Seabaugh has toured steadily in the meantime — this fall included a run of dates and a support slot with Evan Honer in Louisville in late October — but Charlotte hasn't been on the route since 2022. Fans who were at the Neighborhood Theatre that September have had a long wait.

What to expect: a headline set built around the songwriting, likely mixing the newer singles with older material, in a room where you'll hear every word. If you've only followed him since The Voice, this is a good chance to catch up with who he is as a writer now.

Feb. 25 is a Thursday, the show starts at 8, and the room is small. It's a little under four months away — enough time to plan, not enough to forget.
