The Highlander String Band – Live on WPAQ
November 2, 2019 @ 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM EDT
The whole band is super-psyched to be back on The Merry-Go-Round live show on WPAQ in Mt. Airy, NC. We’re on the air from noon until 1:30 PM on Saturday, 02-NOV-2019. The Merry-Go-Round is second only to The Grand Ole Opry as a continuously broadcasting live radio show. We have appeared here once or twice each year for a long time and never tire of the excitement of the crowd in The Earle Theater and the thrill of being on live radio. Tune in here and enjoy the show with us.
Here’s the event listing from the website:
“Join us at The Historic Earle Theatre & Old Time Music Heritage Hall, in Downtown Mount Airy for the Merry Go Round. This November 2nd edition of the program features The Slate Mountain Ramblers and The Highlander String Band! Don’t forget your dancin’ shoes!”
