Greensboro Folk Legend Bruce Piephoff in W-Salem

My good friend Bruce Piephoff, who is a well-known singer in the Greensboro music scene, will be performing at The Garage in Winston-Salem on Sept. 15 as part of a double-bill with the Raleigh-based alternative, country group American Aquarium. The price of admission is $10.
Piephoff, a folk singer, is known for an array of songs including "20 Miles to Baghdad" and "I Remember Asheville." He will be performing with his bandmates Scott Manning (guitar, dobo, mandolin and banjo) and Pat Lawrence. Bruce's latest cd release is "Sogni D'Oro."
American Aquarium is best known for songs like "Anne Marie," "Big City" and "Telling a Lie," which could be a politician's anthem.
I had the chance to see Bruce at the Grove Winery, near Greensboro, on Labor Day. It was another good show_ as always. The Grove is hosting the Burlington-area fiddle and accordion band Mebanesville this weekend as well.
Bruce will also be performing at the Pres. Church of the Covenant in Greesnboro on Sept. 23 at 9 a.m. He will also be at the Tate Street Festival near UNC-Greensboro on Sept. 29 starting at 3 p.m.
And, lastly, Bruce will be performing at the Fountain General Store in Fountain, NC on Oct. 5.
American Aquarium continues their tour of the Tarheel state with a concert at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh on Sept. 21. They then move to Snug Harbor in Charlotte on Sept. 22.
The Piephoff-American Aquarium show starts at 8 p.m. at The Garage. Other info is available by calling The Garage at 336-777-1127.
