Jonathan Byrd is a preacher’s kid, a Gulf War veteran, and an award-winning songwriter from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In 2018, he created the Shake Sugaree Americana Residency, a weekly three-hour show at a little roadhouse outside of Chapel Hill called The Kraken. The Shake Sugaree has evolved into an international online gathering place as it live-streams on YouTube, Facebook, and several other platforms.  Watch live each Wednesday at youtube.com/jonathanbyrdmusic or facebook.com/jonathanbyrdmusic   Other great reminders from Jonathan include: be kind, be present, and be where you are. And, be sure to enjoy his photography on Instagram! @magicflowercowboy   Join us Wednesday night, 7:00 - 10:00 pm EST!   Byrd’s non-profit, The Shake Sugaree Foundation, uses a percentage of the proceeds to support arts education for special needs children at the Eastern North Carolina School for the Deaf in Wilson, North Carolina.
