- Double Barrel Benefit
-
Double Barrel Benefit (DBB), is WKNC-FM's annual fundraiser that provides for two nights of music from local North Carolina based bands. The benefit series was first organized by former General Manager Jamie Procter and held January 4–5, 2004 in Raleigh, North Carolina.[1] 2005 was the first year that t-shirts were sold at the show.[2] The benefit changed locations for the first time in 2008, when the venue changed from Kings Barcade to the Pour House.[3] Most recently, in 2011, each attendant to either night was given a CD of material from each artist that performed, with the exception of Inflowential, who had to cancel their appearance. The album featured new material from the acts, and the majority was recorded on the campus of North Carolina State University. Alongside this, the benefit returned to Kings Barcade, even though it was not at its original location.[4]
