Scuppernong Books will host a two-week long celebration of books about music. The festival will coincide with the National Folk Festival (September 9-11) and Greensboro’s 17 Days Festival (September 8-24). All events will include live music: sometimes covers of the artist being celebrated by the area’s best musicians; sometimes live original music.
