The next Rabbit River Folk Gathering will be at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Vibrant Grains Restaurant, 142 S. Main St., Wayland.

Organizer J.D. Gonzales said, “You should be recovered from your New Year’s eve celebrations by the time Saturday rolls around. So come on down and hear some good music to start the year off right. Starts at 6 pm with feature artist Rick Triplett, our local flat picker that always knows how to entertain the crowd.”

Triplett likes a good tune; a song that tells a story.  Old-time mountain music or a little Piedmont Blues, picked with a little Western North Carolina influence and a twist of Doc Watson

As customary, there will be open mic and jam sessions after the featured artist’s presentation.
