Local music legend Larry Davis will perform two concerts on Sunday, September 26 to benefit the Sunset Theatre Capital Campaign. The hour-long shows will be held in the theatre at 234 Sunset Avenue at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are $10, and can be purchase in advance at the Asheboro Cultural & Recreation Office (241 Sunset Avenue) or at the door.
Davis typically performs in Asheboro only once each year, but volunteered to perform because he feels strongly about the need for Sunset Theatre to be transformed to a performing arts venue.
“There aren’t a lot of places to play in this town,” said Davis, who has performed around the country for over 30 years. “It’s a shame you can’t have someplace to play in your own county.”
Davis performs a wide range of music styles, including classical, jazz, flamenco, mariachi and bluegrass. His concert on the 26th will consist mainly of bluegrass. Judy Brown on upright bass and her husband Stan Brown on banjo will perform with Davis. Larry’s early exposure to bluegrass came from his father Glenn Davis. Larry got serious about music in college, and has spent decades performing across the county and perfecting his craft.
“I just hope people turn out and support the cause for this,” said Davis.
