The Original Haw River Crawdaddies

The Original Haw River Crawdaddies wish you a good old fashioned hibernal solstice. Remember: axial tilt is the reason for the season!

Crawdaddies are proposing to play at the Fearrington Farmer’s Market tomorrow. Now, I know it gets dark and starts chilling early these days so come by and say howdy before the sun goes down.

Wednesday night we played for the folks attending the first annual Lee County “Friends Of Cooperative Extension Appreciation Event.” We sang songs about food and drink of course but we forgot to sing “Pig In A Pen,” so maybe they’ll have to have us back next year to make up for that lapse. This pig was well cooked by a team of experts.

The food was great, the people even better. Among the many table prizes given were half a dozen Chatham Pumpkins, a heritage type that has been passed down since colonial days, a cherished gift from the original inhabitants of our fruitful land. That shared treasure is a reminder of the best of humanity.

As I left I got to gaze upon a field of cotton lit by starlight and be thankful for the farmers that feed and clothe us all.

The Original Haw River Crawdaddies are headed for home! our fourth gig of the week so you know we will be rounding the bases like a Hickory Crawdads Baseball Club Crawdad looking to play in the Bigs. There will be food songs.

We made out like bandits at the Sanford Farmer’s Market today. A big THANK-YOU to all the generous folks who filled Mr. Tippy’s bucket this morning. That money will feed many otherwise hungry folks.

The Pittsboro Farmer’s Market is the place to be Thursday afternoon. We will be playing after 3:00 for y’all. Who knows what you may see.

Take a few minutes and listen. Support local, live music.

Time to open up the cases and play some tunes. Come see us at the https://www.facebook.com/100063457963067/posts/825531189572139/?mibextid=cr9u03
We’ll warm up your day if we can. Drop by and say hello while you get it fresh.

Cool! We are playing tomorrow morning. Come say hello.

Look for us at the top of the slope. Tunes run down hill so you should be able to hear us too.

Sunday, tomorrow, this is what we are doing. You can too. Look for us in the shady spot. We should be easy to find; listen for the old Dad jokes and the older tunes. We play from 1:00-3:00.

Glorious morning to you!

The Original Haw River Crawdaddies are lined up and ready to play.

Come and get it!

It is going to be a brilliant morning tomorrow. See you all there.

Today is fixing to be a wonder. Come to the Fearrington Farmer’s Market for that rare day in August with blue skies, cooling breezes, and no sweat. The Crawdaddies will serving up tunes while you shop. No groundhogs will be harmed but we will probably sing about one.

It feels like our name is on the marquee. See you there Saturday morning.

We will be playing the Sanford Farmer’s market Saturday but due to the high temperatures and our tolerance level we may chop it into several short sections with cooling breaks in between. Come out early and stay safe folks.

Guess where we are this morning.
Come on over and say hi!
Chatham Mills Farmer’s Market

This post was for last week’s market but in fact we will start playing after 9:00 sometime this week. Crawdaddies like to get caffeinated before playing. Sometimes it takes a while to kick in. See you Saturday morning!

Three Crawdaddies playing in Sanford for the Sanford Farmers' Market. Glad we could be there.

Rise up so early in the morning! We’ll be there and hope to hear the steam tractor blow its whistle when we play a steam train tune for you.

Following our smash tour in Lee County at the Sanford Farmers' Market we are making an appearance at the Fearrington Farmer’s Market tomorrow, Tuesday, back in our dear home, Chatham County. Food songs will be sung!

Saturday morning at Sanford Farmers' Market is the place to be. Give us a wave as you make your way through the wonders of the first market of summer.

It looks like the rain will let up and we will get to play the Sanford Farmers' Market Saturday morning. We hope to see you there. It might be funny hat day again. I wonder what Hammer John will dig up to match Uncle Edd’s jolly ranchero.

Fathers Day calls for loud shirts and lame jokes. We got ‘em! See you Sunday at FireClay Cellars.

We have loaded the buggy are ready to set up for Pittsboro Farmers Market. Come on by and say hi!

All tips we receive go to CORA Food Pantry and in the past couple of months that has been a substantial sum. Food insecurity is still high among our neighbors in Chatham County and your generous donations make a difference. Thank you so very much

If we were an old-time string band we could do worse than name ourselves “Rednap Howl!”

Fearrington Farmer’s at 4:00 today! We play, you pay, it’s all okay! Summer veggies are here so fix a ratatouille or a giambotta, maybe, if you like spicy, a harira from Morocco.
