Sandhills Farmers Market's inaugural Music at the Market was a bit hit with market-goers! Some folks made the trip from as far away as Hope Mills and Raeford just to hear some good, old-time music! Rainey Parker and Chris Woodsen, members of the Cape Fear Old-Time Music Association entertained with music and songs that date back to times long before TV and radio, a time when every household had musicial instruments and families used to gather around and play music together! Old-time music is the oldest form of traditional North American music other that Native American music and songs have been passed down through the generations. Old-time music originated in Africa and Europe and has been a popular accompaniment to square dancing, buck dancing, and clogging. Many songs tell a story and some are dated as far back as the Civil War period. Rainey and Chris will be back again on July 16th. Join us at Sandhills Farmers Market for some entertainment along with your produce!
