HICKORY, NC (May 23, 2017)…Friday, May 26, the City of Hickory’s 2017 Sails Original Music Series will feature Barefoot Movement, a band described by CMT Edge as “one of the most promising bands on the bluegrass scene.” Based out of Nashville, the band has been honing their bluegrass tunes and musical chemistry for more than seven years.
“The Barefoot Movement played our Sails Stage a few years ago and everyone just raved about them,” explained Sails Music Coordinator, Bob Sinclair. “So it finally worked out to bring them back for more. These guys are so much fun. They combine acoustic music prowess with great songwriting in their own sweet way – barefooted!”
The Sails Original Music Series is able to bring excellent musical entertainment from all over the United States with the help of numerous sponsors. The presenting sponsor of the series is Lowes Foods, while the Hickory Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau is the premier sponsor for the month of May, in conjunction with their 31 Days of May Campaign, celebrating tourism in North Carolina.
The Hickory Wine Shoppe is the premier sponsor for the month of September. Additional sponsors include, Bob Sinclair Music, Larry’s Music & Sound, Patrick, Harper & Dixon, LLP Attorneys at Law, Pfahlert Creative Labs, Olde Hickory Taproom, Crowne Plaza, and WNCW.
