Chatham County Line at The Southern Café & Music Hall 9/5

North Carolina roots stalwarts Chatham County Line, known for its blend of bluegrass, folk, country, and rock ‘n’ roll, is riding high off the release of its 10th studio album last year. Singer/guitarist Dave Wilson and bandmates John Teer (fiddle/mandolin) and Greg Readling (bass/pedal steel) bring evocative tales of love and heartbreak, joy and sorrow, and righteousness and revenge, incorporating synthesizers, drum machines, and more electric guitar and percussion than ever before in an embrace of new sonic frontiers. Co-headliner The Mammals play indie-roots from New York’s Hudson Valley, offering emotionally rich folk rock that’s been fine-tuned through two decades of dedicated craft.

Friday 9/5. $24, 7:30pm. The Southern Café & Music Hall, 103 S. First St. thesoutherncville.com
