Beer and Banjos is a free, family-friendly evening of roots music every Tuesday at Raleigh’s Bowstring Pizza and Brewyard. Hosted by the mighty local musicians known collectively as the Beer and Banjos Allstars, these weekly concerts feature guest musicians and take place on Bowstring’s spacious patio when the weather allows, or inside by the bar when rain, heat, or cold threaten the vibe.
Tips for the musicians are gratefully accepted (look for a helper walking around with a bucket for cash and QR codes for online tips), and don’t forget to check out the merch table. Bowstring serves tasty pizza and other food as well as cold beer and other beverages.
This week, Momma Molasses returns to her home state of North Carolina for an encore performance at Beer and Banjos. Expect songs steeped in classic country, bluegrass, and gospel, a unique fingerpicking guitar style, and a LOT of fun from the stage. Get a taste of Momma Molasses here. The night’s festivities will be hosted by the Beer and Banjos Allstars, joined by old pal and fiddler extraordinaire Isabelle Parker.
