The Phlegms ( Coal Simmons)It may not feel like it temperature-wise just yet, but fall is here. There are several ways to verify this, but the easiest option is to look at the length of the event list at the bottom of the Weekend Flyer. Fall is easily one of the busiest times of year in and around Fayetteville. See it down there. It’s definitely fall.
The fun begins on Thursday night this week. Former Fayetteville resident Shawn James is back in town for a show at George’s Majestic Lounge on Thursday night. He’ll perform alongside Nashville singer-songwriter, Evan Bartals.
Friday night kicks off with a happy hour performance by legendary local band, The Cate Brothers at George’s Majestic Lounge. George’s will host Finnish bluegrass band Steve ‘n’ Seagulls on Friday night and they have a Tina Turner Tribute on Saturday night.
There’s a big AMP show on Friday night as well with country rocker Koe Wetzel, along with Wade Bowen and Tanner Uusrey.
Also on Friday night, Pinpoint will officially debut their Nightmare on Block Street Halloween-themed bar. It’ll be up through Halloween, but Friday will be the first chance to experience the themed drinks and all-out decor. Here’s more.
Smoke & Barrel Tavern has a couple big shows this weekend. On Friday night, they’ll host local country act Dylan Earl along with South Carolina-based band Christopher Seymour & the Western Cosplay and Seattle singer-songwriter, Dean Johnson.
