Michael Daughtry of Fayetteville will take the Beer and Banjos stage this week. He describes himself as a recording artist, singer-songwriter, music coach, mentor, and (mostly) punctual carpool dad. After teaching music full time for over a decade, Daughtry left his comfort zone to pursue his passion for musical connection as a recording artist. His music opens the door for emotion, with multilayered lyrics, strong vocals, and relatable themes. Learn more about Michael Daughtry here.

Beer and Banjos is a free, family-friendly evening of roots music every Tuesday at Raleigh’s Bowstring Pizza and Brewyard. Hosted by the mighty local musicians known collectively as the Beer and Banjos Allstars, these weekly concerts feature guest musicians and take place on Bowstring’s spacious patio when the weather allows, or inside by the bar when rain, heat, or cold threaten the vibe.

Tips for the musicians are gratefully accepted (look for a helper walking around with a bucket for cash and QR codes for online tips), and don’t forget to check out the merch table. Bowstring serves tasty pizza and other food as well as cold beer and other beverages.
