With its successful opening performances by Keller Williams and Sam Bush Band now in the rearview, Pittsboro, NC’s Shakori Hills GrassRoots Live!concert series is primed and ready to provide North Carolina music fans with a steady stream of socially distant live music throughout May and June. The socially distant series will serve as an appetizer for the return of the fall Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance, set to take place from October 7th–11th after a year off in 2020.
The outdoor, “POD”-format series continues with bluegrass legend Del McCoury and his band (5/8), progressive grass stalwarts Yonder Mountain String Band (5/15), New Orleans funk staples Galactic (5/22), Grammy-nominated roots trio The Wood Brothers with singer-songwriter Ryan Montbleau (6/4), multi-talented folk sister act Rising Appalachia (6/5) and two nights of Donna The Buffalo, the founders of Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival, on 6/11 and 6/12.
In addition to the live performances, for the first time in its 17-year history, Shakori Hills is offering high-definition, multi-camera livestreams of all the upcoming GrassRoots Live! shows. For more information or to grab your livestream tickets, head here.
