BEER AND BANJOS: Professor Twang & the Honky Tonk Revue

Professor Twang and the Honky Tonk Revue is a high-energy North Carolina-based band that blends academic chops with pedal steel, Telecaster twang, and witty songwriting. Described as “equal parts sawdust and syllabus,” the band’s lineup includes three college professors, a music librarian, a public school music teacher, and a fearless drummer.

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 All-Stars, 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.
