The Fayetteville Public Library will host the Mountain Street Stage music series each Sunday at 2:00 p.m. throughout the month of June. 

The series kicks off on June 5 with Outside the Lines, a highly entertaining, often humorous, eclectic trio of talented musicians playing a diverse mix of jazz, swing, bluegrass, Latin and folk, including much original material.

The series continues on June 12 with Trio DeJaniero. Keeping the spirit of Samba and Brazil alive, this highly talented and creative trio performs the music of Jobim, Baden Powell and even Stevie Wonder, all with a South American twist.

On June 19 singer/ song writer Sarah Hughes brings her powerful southern voice, which anchors her folk-rock style, drawing comparisons to such greats as Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams.

The series concludes on June 26 with the sounds of Chase Missy, a husband and wife duo whose genre crossing music and beautiful harmonies combines the best of folk, rock and alt-country.

All concerts will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the Library’s Walker Community Room.  Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call 856.7250.
