Water Liars

Red Barn Ramblers, the band made up of an all-star lineup of local, regional, and national-caliber talent, will play a benefit for long-time Dickson Street doorman Neill Williamson on Friday, March 8 at George’s Majestic Lounge. The show starts at 5 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door, and all the proceeds benefit Neill.

Water Liars returns to town for a show with local songwriter Phillip Farris at Nightbird Books Friday night. We’ve been excited about the band ever since they appeared on our calendar for their first show in Fayetteville last summer. Since then, we’ve pretty much worn out their record Phantom Limb here at the Flyer office. Admission is $5 at the door, and it’s an all ages show

Fayetteville-based band Boom Kinetic signed a multi-record contract with Virginia-based indie label, Brain Fuse Records on Thursday, and they’re celebrating with a show at George’s Saturday night. Tickets are $10.
