BRASSTOWN COMMUNITY CENTER CONCERT - THE BARKER BROTHERS

Description

Delivering music that is "born out of the mountains", the Barker Brothers draw from the depths of five generations of acoustic traditions, to bring a touch of their past to the present.  Foot stomping and heartwarming, the Barkers honor an authentic Appalachian heritage of old-time and gospel music, combined with a riveting mix of high energy bluegrass and back road Americana designed to keep you on the edge of your seat while taking you back to a simpler time in life.  Jeremy Barker has gained recognition for his extraordinary vocal prowess and seasoned command of the flattop guitar.  Scott Barker effectively draws mellow harmonics from the mandolin and adds to the powerful harmony that resounds throughout their performance.

The concert is on Saturday, May 16th.  Doors open at 6 p.m. and the music starts at 7 p.m.  Admission is $10 (all proceeds go to the Community Center's upkeep); children under 12 enter at no charge.  Hot dogs, homemade cobbler, ice cream and root beer floats are available for purchase.

Venue address is 255 Settawig Road, Brasstown, NC.
