Brevard’s Hogtown Squealers Band will play a concert of traditional string band music at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 22, in Franklin’s Town Square gazebo.  

Over their 20-year collaboration, the Squealers have incorporated honky-tonk, ragtime and other traditions into their lively music, sharing an approach to their craft reminiscent of the early Red Clay Ramblers and other greats of recorded Southern string band music.

Attendees should bring a lawn chair, and in case of rain, the program will be held in Tartan Hall at First Presbyterian Church, one block from Town Square. This event is sponsored by the Arts Council of Macon County, and is the first of a series of Sundays on the Square. 828.534.7683 or visit artscouncilofmacon.org.
