SUMMARY:Wyatt Easterling Live At The Bar(n) At Sonark Farms
DESCRIPTION:Gather with us under the rafters for a special night of songs and stories at The Bar(n) at Sonark Farms as we welcome Wyatt Easterling to the stage at 8PM with his band\, the Modern Day Drifters. \nCome hungry and enjoy the Jolly Sandwich Company Food Truck and doors at 6PM / Music starts at 8PM.\nGET TICKETS NOW: $20/$25\nhttps://www.sonarkfarms.com/event-details/wyatt-easterling-live-at-the-bar-n-at-sonark-farms \n—— \nWyatt’s decades-long journey through the music industry has taken him from the songwriter’s room to center stage\, and into executive leadership at both a major record label and publishing company. Few artists understand the craft — and the business — of music as deeply as he does. That wisdom lives in his songs: honest\, finely crafted\, and rooted in the traditions of American country and roots music. \nAt The Bar(n)\, the setting is intimate\, the rafters carry every note\, and the connection between artist and audience feels personal. This is the kind of room where stories matter\, lyrics land a little deeper\, and the music lingers long after the last chord fades. It is a place where community grows through the music. \nJoin us for an evening that promises warmth\, authenticity\, and the seasoned artistry of a true Nashville veteran — shared in a space built for listening. \nCome early\, grab a drink and a bite to eat\, with the Jolly Sandwich Company food truck which starts serving its sandwiches with BIG flavor at 6PM. \n—— \n•WYATT EASTERLING: LIVE AT THE BAR(n) AT SONARK FARMS\nwith the Modern Day Drifters \nSat\, April 11 | 6–11 PM \nGET TICKETS NOW: $20/25\nhttps://www.sonarkfarms.com/event-details/wyatt-easterling-live-at-the-bar-n-at-sonark-farms \n6PM | Doors & JOLLY SANDWICH COMPANY\n8 PM | WYATT EASTERLING & THE MODERN DAY DRIFTERS \nTHE BAR(n) AT SONARK FARMS\n5292 Sonark Lane\, Hillsborough\, NC \nwww.sonarkfarms.com \n​
