Returning to the time when the giants of country music walked the earth, Barn Dance plays the classics from Bakersfield to Nashville with stops at every hayride and jamboree in between. A Barn Dance set offers treasures from Ray Price, the Louvins, Buck, Merle, Hank and many more. Featuring expert fiddling, dynamic lead guitar, and on-the-money vocals, the band delivers with genuine authenticity born of their earliest musical memories. Barn Dance keeps the honky tonk train moving on. The double stops, shuffle beats, and B-bender licks are packed and ready to go.

The band includes Steve Howell on lead guitar - Steve is a founding member of The Backsliders and a long-time staple of the Triangle music scene. On fiddle and vocals, we have Stephen Fraleigh. Stephen is a two-time winner at the Galax Fiddler's convention.

At 7 PM the music starts. There is an outdoor stage (and an indoor stage in the store if it rains!). A different band each week: John Howie Jr, the Bluegrass Experience, Knee Deep, Neville’s Quarter… A pith helmet is passed to pay the band. Young and old dance.

There is room for the kids and toys and books... and screen doors for kids to learn to bang. No pets or alcohol. Fireflies. Sometimes thunder. Summer nights - listening to the clear voices and sweet songs melding with the cacophony from crickets, owls, tree frogs and toads. Not being able to tell if the white lights are fireflies or Christmas lights. 3/4 time. Not worrying. Not rushing. Just being. As twilight descends.

Come rock with us!
