|
The second installment of American Tobacco’s Music on the Lawn series takes place tomorrow night, Friday, May 29, 2009. The Kari Sickenberger Band with Natalya Weinstein & John Millerwill take the stage from 6-8pm as the first of the North Carolina Public Radio WUNC Backporch Music Concerts.
A singer-songwriter from Asheville, Sickenberger is half of the band Polecat Creek, who played on the ATC stage last summer. Sickenberger started her own band on the side last year, featuring her original mix of original roots music. She is joined by Polecat Creek fiddler Natalya Weinstein and singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in the traditional Appalachian style John Miller.
Sickenberger released her first solo album, Settle Down, this year.
“A powerful voice with a lot to say, Kari Sickenberger sings her heart out on this CD of her original material,” said legendary musician Alice Gerrard. “In the tradition of great country singers, Kari can sing you to tears or laughter, sadness or joy. That’s what it’s all about!”

The Venue
The American Tobacco Campus is arguably one of the top venues in the Triangle for enjoying an outdoor concert in an intimate and family-friendly atmosphere. Ample parking and five fine eateries surround the lawn: Tyler’s Taproom, Café Zen, Mellow Mushroom, Starbucks, and in spring 2009, Cuban Revolution.
Outdoor seating abounds and some restaurants take their grills to the sidewalk, so food and beverages are only steps away.
Kids are welcome on the lawn where families can enjoy the Ole Bull River that runs through the middle of the campus. As a courtesy to your neighbors, no dogs or coolers please.
