A trio of ladies, characterized as a “hot folk” band, will hit the stage at the Turnage Theater Saturday for the fourth show in the Pamlico Opry summer series.

“After Jack,” comprised of three young women from Ferrum, Virginia, will showcase a blend of old time energy with bluegrass, folk and gospel elements, said Beaufort County Traditional Music Association Chairperson Linda Boyer. The show will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and children 12 and under are admitted for $5, which are available at the Turnage Theater Box Office.

Boyer said the band, whose name comes from the hero of Appalachian folk tales who had to use his wits to get out of the mischief he made, use their voices and instruments to entertain fans with some good old foot stomping songs and harmonies straight from the mountains. They have performed in Beaufort County twice — once at the Union Alley Coffeehouse and at the Tar Landing Jam. The three band members bring together three unique musical perspectives into a fantastic blend of voices, Boyer said.

“They will sing the roof right off the theater,” Boyer said. “They’re kind of a combination of old time mountain music, gospel, bluegrass tunes, and they specialize in wonderful close harmonies. They play a lot of different instruments very well. It’s a trio of young gals who love to sing and play music in a very energetic fashion and it’s great fun.”

The show, which is the fourth performance in the six-show Pamlico Opry series, will also feature an opening by “Olde Fiddle Case,” a Beaufort County trio with an upbeat bluegrass sound, Boyer said. The series, a collaboration of BCTMA and the Beaufort County Arts Council, provides affordable family entertainment, showcases local and regional talent and celebrates community grassroots performances at the theater, said BCAC Director Joey Toler.

“The Pamlico Opry is a great summer series for the Turnage, and we are happy to see it grow each time,” Toler said. “I know the Carolina Still performance was the best Pamlico Opry we’ve had yet. We are looking forward to a lot of those people coming back for this show.”
