South Mecklenburg Presbyterian Church, 8601 Bryant Farms Road, Charlotte, NC 28277, will host a concert by Chris Jones & The Night Drivers on Saturday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
Chris Jones is a quadruple threat as a singer, a songwriter, a guitarist – and, thanks to his role hosting SiriusXM’s Bluegrass Junction, as one of the most widely heard broadcasting voices in bluegrass music. His immediately recognizable voice, warm sense of humor and abundance of talent have combined to make him one of the music’s most distinctive personalities, and one of its strongest artists.
Whether it’s in the studio or on stage, Chris Jones & The Night Drivers are making some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving music to be heard anywhere today, and they’re delivering it with a unique blend of dry wit, emotional authenticity and broad humor that’s won the loyalty of a growing number of fans across the country, from MerleFest in North Carolina to California’s Huck Finn Jubilee, and around the world.
Steve Martin referred to the Night Drivers as “. . . some of the best players in bluegrass! Chris Jones’ voice is there with the great masters.”
The concert is free and open to all. A love offering will be received.
South Mecklenburg Presbyterian Church is located in the Blakeney/Stonecrest area at the intersection of Elm Lane, Blakeney Heath Road, and Bryant Farms Road.
