The Crossroad: Live Music

A new live music venue is coming to Carrboro! Carrboro United Methodist Church is launching a FREE family friendly night of music, food, and friendship on Friday, May 6, 2022 in the church fellowship hall. Doors will open at 6:30 and music will start at 7:00. The aim is to provide a space where friends and family can meet and hear music from some of the many superlative musicians in our area.

Kicking it off at 7 pm on May 6 will be Carol Parker Shafer and SheSings, an acoustic trio featuring some original songs by Carol on acoustic guitar and vocals, joined by Susan Colwell on vocals and Tracy Parker on bass guitar and vocals. The rich blend of their voices creates a vibrant, compelling sound that will surprise and delight the audience. At 8 pm Michael Parks will take the stage. Michael is a singer/songwriter/musician from Durham, NC. His original musical style is Americana/folk and his songs cover many topics, including themes from his Appalachia roots. He is a multi-instrumentalist, including dobro and Irish bouzouki.

Coming up on Friday, May 20, 2022 at 7 pm will be the String Beings, a trio performing original and non-original tunes centered around tight harmonies in the Americana style,  followed by Larry Hicks from Chatham County at 8 pm, bringing his original songs played in an eclectic Americana style.

And on Friday, June 3, 2022 the entire evening will feature the Twang Bandits. They will be playing classic country and honky-tonk plus newer Americana. Wear your dancing shoes!

Invite your friends and make new friends. This is a new community outreach of Carrboro UMC.
