--ABOUT THE ARTIST--
“It’s a silly band name, but these guys and gals are serious about string band music,” said Sails Music Coordinator Bob Sinclair.
Pretty Little Goat represents grassroots mountain music at its finest. Formed in 2013 through a shared love for the deep musical traditions of Western North Carolina, the band quickly earned recognition by winning regional string band competitions and captivating audiences with its energetic old time sound. Over time, the group has shaped a distinctive style rooted in local heritage yet infused with original creativity inspired by the mountains they call home.
The band is also committed to fostering the next generation of Appalachian musicians. Members serve as active leaders in the Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) program and frequently partner with music camps, schools, and youth organizations to spark a lifelong love of traditional music. Their work reflects a core belief that old time music is a living, evolving art form meant to be shared, celebrated, and carried forward.

Started in 2012, the City of Hickory’s Sails Original Music Series showcases well-crafted, live music by bringing original music artists to The Sails on the Square. Original music is defined as music that is written or composed by the artist who performs it.
