The Tar River Boys (or the Lady and the Tramps as we are sometimes known) are from all up and down the Tar River in Eastern North Carolina. We've been making Bluegrass for all occasions in this neck of the woods since the 1970s. We've played for Presidents ( George Bush), The Chair of the Joint Chief of Staff of the US Military ( General Hugh Shelton) and at all sorts of restaurants, private parties, bars, and pig pickins.' We're available for festivals, bars, Bar Mitvah's, parties, ....you name it...if you're paying we'll be playing. Check out our website and give us a call. We've loaded some of our tunes recorded live at our Wednesday Night Porch Pickin' sessions to give you a listen. If you like it real..............you've come to the right place.
