![]() Carrboro Hosts the Fall CD and Record Show ![]() ![]()
The show is the brainchild of Gerry Williams, former Music Program Director/Operations Manager at the ArtsCenter and onetime owner of Roots CD & Vinyl in Carrboro. Williams is currently a concert promoter and Internet broker of music and music memorabilia. Gerry sees this event as a great opportunity for individual collectors, as well as dealers, to buy, sell, and trade their music collections."This isn't just old LPs, but cool music related memorabilia, as well as new and used CDs and LPs - and almost every musical style imaginable is represented. There's something for everyone," says Williams.
This annual event featurs local folks as well as out-of-towners, coming together in Carrboro for this show of music and more. Last year between 500 and 600 folks showed up for the event, and Williams hopes for an even better turn out this year.Remember LPs? There were plenty of those on hand, as well as new and used CDs. So next year bring in your CDs, dust off your old albums and come and join the fun. You never know what treasures you may find. ![]() ![]()
Williams is one of the original organizers of the Carrboro Music Festival, which began in 1998. The Festival is an annual Carrboro event on the last Sunday in September and was formerly known as Fête de la Musique. Fête de la Musique is an event celebrated worldwide on the summer solstice. Our Carrboro event was moved to September in 2002. The date switch proved to be a wise one and the festival continues to grow each year. Last year over 500 musicians performed on more than 20 stages all over town throughout the day. Gerry has headed up the event for the last 7 years.For more information e-mail Gerry Williams at musical_roots@bellsouth.net or call 919-260-0661.
