SUMMARY:Live Music - Pisgah Playboys
DESCRIPTION:Friday evening porch sessions are back with the Pisgah Playboys on select dates from 6–8pm. Food truck on site\, cold drinks flowing\, and mountain music filling the air. 🎻🍻 \nThis is a group of musicians seasoned harder than shagbark hickory. Whittling away at the boundaries between western swing\, blue moon country\, and mountain music while always keeping the leather boots thumping on worn wooden floors. Fresh off retirement and hotter than a four-balled tomcat\, Jerry Sapp fearlessly leads this four-piece into parts unknown… yet strangely familiar. \nJoined by Adam Masters on fiddle\, John Trufant on guitar and vocals\, and JT Linville on upright bass — this is one porch session you don’t want to miss.
