Lunchtime Folk Music Series featuring The Post-Timey String Band and The Sound of Joy Band

Head to Boyd Plaza for a free lunchtime folk music series from Columbia musician Sean Thomson. With two acts from the Midlands performing each week, listeners can expect a variety of sounds and styles in multiple short back-to-back sets.

Drop by any time during the concert to enjoy the music. Grab lunch from Tacos Oink Oink or bring your own from home — or one of our Main Street neighbors!

Free.

The Post-Timey String Band

With a good mixture of quirky and serious, The Post-Timey String Band produces an interesting blend of folk, ragtime, and blues with influences from the old and the new. Kelley Porterfield creates the picture with her vocals/kazoo/mouth trumpet and keeps everything in beat with her guitar, banjo, uke, etc., while Sean Thomson colors everything in with an assortment of stringed instruments.

The Sound of Joy Band

Labeled Hindustani-American folk music, The Sound of Joy Band is a totally new exploration of world fusion music that is both danceable and cerebral, leaving your cranium a-goose-bumpin' while ya hands-a-clappin' and ya feets-a-cloggin! Featuring one-man-band Brother Jim Hadley and tabla player Ryan Shah.

In the event of heavy rain, program will be canceled. A grant from the Knight Foundation Fund at Central Carolina Community Foundation supported this project.
