Half way to St. Patrick’s Day! w/ Juanita Fireball & the Continental Drifters at BrazenHead Inn

Half way to St. Patrick’s Day! St. Patrick was too fine a fellow to celebrate only once a year. As the weather cools and the trees turn red and golden, join us for dinner and hang around for some fine music offered up by Juanita Fireball & the Continental Drifters. You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this celebration!
Juanita Fireball and the Continental Drifters debuted at the Pocahontas Opera House in 2008, although they have been making music in one form or another for years. They play the Appalachian string band tunes that they learned from old-timers in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina, and sing songs about animals, outlaws, fruit, and love, with a few gospel numbers for balance. The high energy of their hard-driving music will have you dancing. The band consists of Mike Burns (“Juanita Fireball”) and Jay Lockman (“Pluto”) on twin fiddles, Mary Sue Burns (“Lulu”) on clawhammer banjo, Wayne Walton (“Handyman”) on the doghouse bass, and John Sparks (“Rev. Sleepy John”) and Terry Richardson (“Double Dog”) on guitar.
