All the way from the big cities in the Triangle, three terrific old time acts + NC’s largest banjo orchestra come east to @rafountain this Saturday night! Andrew BG and Sam Harris (@__.s.__a.__.m.__ ) of @oakcityserenaders and 2024 Charlie Poole Festival Three-Finger Banjo Grand Champion Devon Flaherty (@electrobeams ) joined Lightnin’ Wells as featured performers at his sold out documentary premiere in Farmville in March and we’re thrilled to have them back in Pitt County with their bands. These young guys have been working hard to make this event come together and we can’t to see what they’ve got in store! Tickets and full bios on each act at /event/old-time-string-band-revue-may-2026 Only $15 for reserved seats, $13 day of, $5 for students and free for kids 12 and under. Fresh squeezed lemonade, orangeade, five flavors of @simplynaturalcreamery ice cream and a full night of good clean fun! And a big shoutout to @electrobeams for creating this lovely original flyer featuring our great state and other important icons 🔥
