The Carter Brothers Band comes back home to their roots for a live
show tonight at 10 p.m. at Boone Saloon.
“It’s just like coming home to us because we lived there so
long,” said vocalist Tim Carter, who also plays banjo, mandolin,
guitar and harmonica. “We still have a lot of friends around
that area.”
Vocalist and guitarist Danny Carter described their rise
from playing small venues such as Rascals in Beech Mountain to touring
internationally as a “long, strange trip.”
