6 String Drag

When: Fri., July 13, 9 p.m. 2018

After breaking up in 1998 and reuniting in 2015, 6 String Drag, led by North Carolina-based Kenny Roby is coming to Charlotte to tour their new album, Top of the World. The group from Raleigh is credited with spreading and starting the alt-country movement of the early ‘90s, leading to the creation of the Americana genre. The band’s music, a folksy take on old-school country, is much different than the punk music Roby was making as a kid with his band the Lubricators.
