Carrboro Music Festival I Clubs & Concerts I Indy Week Page 1 of 2 <br /> This is a past event. <br /> Carrboro Music Festival <br /> When: Sun., Sept. 30, 12 p.m.-2 a.m. 2012 <br /> Price: Free <br /> www.carrboromusicfestival.com <br /> Around Town—As the "Paris of the Piedmont," Carrboro's no stranger to showing off its cultural <br /> flair. Every year on a Sunday afternoon in early autumn, it decidedly kicks things up a notch with <br /> the Carrboro Music Festival. This year, the town hosts 180 acts across 25 venues. Patrons can <br /> bounce freely from coffee shop to Cat's Cradle to lumber company to hear some of the area's best <br /> acts. <br /> The sheer number of bands performing guarantees there'll be something for everyone. Fans of <br /> polka, brass and Jewish dance music can get their kicks with the Magnolia Klezmer Band. <br /> Bluegrass pickers can grin along to Big Fat Gap. Hip-hop heads take note that Toon & the Real <br /> Laww will be on hand to educate. There'll also be indie explorations (care of TOW311S), top-notch <br /> Americana (thanks to the Magnolia Collective), seething surf-rock (see Killer Filler) and at least one <br /> brass band (the aptly named N.C. Saxophone Ensemble). It's a daunting list of acts peppered with <br /> old favorites (Lud) and funny new names (See No Weevil). Thankfully, the spread of venues only <br /> stretches from the yard at The Looking Glass to the parking lot at Jessee's Coffee—approximately <br /> 0.8 miles. The Champs-lysees could hardly do better. And it's all free.
