or $12 at the door
West Virginia's John Lilly will be in town Jan 31rst with Chapel Hill's own Jim Watson for an evening of early country music, old time string band music, honky tonk, Bluegrass and Americana and traditional folk music.
Seeing as how John and Jim are connoisseurs of the music of the legendary Father of Country Music, Mr. Jimmie Rodgers, we thought it might be fun to get these two gents together with their guitars and mandolins and their mighty fine voices to sing some songs from the Jimmie Rodgers canon. In addition to playing some songs associated with Jimmie Rodgers, they will also be playing and singing songs from the pen of Hank Williams, Charlie Patton, Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, Ralph Blizard, Hazel Dickens, Bob Wills and original songs as well. It should be a big time, so come on out!
