~The Charlotte Folk Society!~ The Charlotte Folk Society concert on Friday, February 6th, will feature Jim Watson, Bill Hicks, and Mike Craver (members of the original Red Clay Ramblers), with old-time banjo master, Joe Newberry. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, the Durham-Chapel Hill area gave rise to a revival of old-time music, especially focused on the fiddle and banjo traditions of the Appalachian mountains. One of the most significant bands to emerge from the region was the Red Clay Ramblers. As well as Hicks, Craver, and Watson, the original band included the late Tommy Thompson. Their energy, joy, instrumental prowess, and repertoire, which included both traditional and creative contemporary compositions, made them truly legendary. Join us at 7:30 PM in the Great Aunt Stella Center for the free concert. Donations are appreciated. Jams sessions and song circle follow the concert. www.folksociety.org.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! <3
