ASHEBORO – The old time/bluegrass team of Tommy Edwards and LaNelle Davis
will present a selection of original and traditional seasonal tunes in “A
Country Bluegrass Christmas,” 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 12, at the Asheboro
Public Library.
Edwards and
Davis will be joined by Stan Brown on banjo for the concert, which is sponsored
by the Friends of the Library. It’s free and the public is invited.
Siler City
native Edwards is lead singer/guitarist for The Bluegrass Experience, which he
founded in 1971, and host of radio station Life 103.1’s “Bluegrass Saturday
Night.”
A
professional performer for over 35 years, Edwards has twice been named World
Champion Bluegrass Guitarist. He’s also known as an outstanding songwriter.
He served
for over 30 years in the Randolph and Chatham county school systems as an
administrator, a teacher and coach. He and his wife, Cindy, also ran an
antiques store in Pittsboro for over 25 years.
Davis, from
eastern North Carolina, initially was drawn to clogging, and toured extensively
as a dancer and caller. She took up the bass when a friend moved and left one
in her house, and since has performed with numerous nationally-known old time
bands and individuals.
The library
is located at 201 Worth Street. For more information, call 336-318-6803.
