BEER AND BANJOS: Onyx Club Boys
A weekly roots music concert series featuring the Onyx Club Boys playing acoustic string band and jazz-influenced music.
Onyx Club Boys is an acoustic string band rooted in the Django Reinhardt-style jazz sounds of 1930s Paris and Stuff Smith’s New York City swing. However, being from 21st-century North Carolina, the band’s diverse influences take the music beyond borders. It’s a trip around the world, which will make you swoon, tap your feet, and realize how universally similar music really is. Learn more about the Onyx Club Boys here . 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. Learn more about Beer and Banjos events statewide here .
