SUMMARY:Jam Sessions at the Barber Shop
DESCRIPTION:  \nOne of the more quaint musical venues in the Blue Ridge region is the tiny Drexel Barber Shop in the little town of Drexel. The shop features a very informal jam session. Thursday\, Friday\, and Saturday\, around 11:00 am‚ the guys at the barber shop generally put aside their scissors‚ shears‚ and combs and grab their instruments for a few hours of picking. Thursday and Friday are a mix of gospel and country\, while Saturday is bluegrass all day. This event occurs year-round on most‚ but not all‚ Saturday afternoons. \n  \n\n  \nRound out your visit to the Drexel Barber Shop by exploring these nearby towns and attractions. \nLawrence Anthony‚ the driving force behind the jam‚ passed away in December of 2009. Anthony’s son has set up a nonprofit account to repair and keep the shop open for the sake of the music and as a memorial to Anthony. Donations can be sent to the “Barber Shop Preservation Fund‚” c/o First Citizens Bank‚ Valdese‚ NC; taken to the barbershop; or sent to the Barber Shop Fund‚ 2744 Monarch Dr.‚ Charlotte‚ NC.
