BEER & BANJOS is a free music series presented in partnership with SouthEnd Brewing and Midlife on the second Thursday of each month. The house band of all house bands, Midlife Trip hosts each month, followed by a local or regional act. This month we welcome Wayne Henderson & friends! MIDLIFE TRIP is a mandolin-driven acoustic jam band is already turning heads across the High Country with a fresh, fearless sound. Fueled by swirling melodies, soulful lyrics, and unexpected turns, Midlife Trip takes you from grounded grooves to psychedelic peaks—all in one set. With Ben Parker on mandolin family instruments and saxophone, Chuck Mantooth and Adam Williams on guitar, Mike McKee on dobro and harmonica, Pat Holmes on drums, TJ Corlett on percussion, and Craig Barnette on upright bass, this seven-piece powerhouse delivers a sonic experience that’s raw, real, and impossible to ignore.
WAYNE HENDERSON grew up in Grayson County, Virginia where he honed his skills as a musician and one of the nation’s premier luthiers. His finger-picking guitar skills have been featured at the like of Carnegie Hall and on numerous international tours. Perhaps his most famous attribute is his guitar building skills though. Wayne Henderson began building guitars as a teenager in the mountains of Virginia. His skill and craftsmanship have led to guitar greats such as Eric Clapton, Vince Gill, and Ricky Skaggs seeking out his instruments. Wayne still builds guitars in his hometown of Rugby, VA and was a recipient of the National Heritage Award in 1995.
