Down on Copperline: The Freight Train’s Pulling Into Town Once More
The Town of Carrboro’s annual Freight Train Blues Music Series honors the music, memory and legacy of legendary native daughter Elizabeth “Libba” Cotten, born there 128 years ago. But there will be a distinctly contemporary, circa-2021 feel to this year’s edition.
One aspect is the obligatory nod to safety protocols because of the still-lingering virus pandemic. The five-show series will be all-virtual this year, broadcast on a variety of online platforms – Facebook, YouTube, Soul Bag and Artarie.
Another aspect is the decidedly modern feel of this year’s lineup. All five acts were filmed in performance at The Fruit in Durham at the end of March.
