“I still can’t quite put my finger on what it is about the atmosphere there, but North Carolina is just home,” Lauderdale says. “When I’m here, I feel like this is my place. Not to make it into any sort of unreal fantasy thing, but there’s a vibe of ingrained sweetness about the people I know from North Carolina — a goodness and decency I really appreciate as I travel the world.” Jim Lauderdale’s (@jimlauderdalemusic) the subject of a fine piece in the most recent Walter Magazine (@waltermagazine), entitled “Mr. North Carolina.” The veteran country singer-songwriter’s worked with everyone from Ralph Stanley to Elvis Costello, and has served a cultural booster of all things musical in our state. He’s also co-headlining the finale of The Moonshine and Motorsport Concert Series tomorrow at the Museum of the Albermarle in Elizabeth City (@moaelizcity). So read the full profile via the link in bio, and go see Lauderdale play with Sheila Kay Adams' Nest of Singing Birds (@nestofsingingbirds) and Kruger Brothers (@krugerbrothers)!
