Independence Day Weekend explodes with American Roots music

849

Eric Howell, husky-voiced troubadour, plays graveyard songs and select favorites on his 12–string guitar at Brews twice this weekend. African transplant and polyphonic percussionist Yao Angelo hosts Drumming in the Park Saturday evening, an event that draws hundreds. Saturday, Cadillac Jackson from Fayetteville brings their tight funk and MC skills to Chelsea’s for a smoky, blissed-out ride into space.
