Tropical Storm Isaias made landfall in North Carolina, was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane Monday evening, then downgraded to a tropical storm again this morning.

"Whether it's labeled a tropical storm or a hurricane, you should take this storm seriously, and make sure your family is ready," said North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.

Forecasters say tornadoes are possible, rainfall will remain a major concern and trees could fall, causing power outages as Isaias moves north along the mid-Atlantic and New England coastline.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, let's put a spotlight on bands that hail from the North Carolina area. Who do you want to hear this morning?
