The 25th season of Bynum Front Porch’s Weekly Summer Music Series continues to reach new heights!

Last night, beloved local favorites and internationally acclaimed band The Old Ceremony drew another packed and enthusiastic crowd. From the first note to the last, they captivated the audience with a rich mix of songs that were velvety, exotic, uplifting, mesmerizing, soulful, dynamic, and much more. It was one of those evenings that reminded us why live music outside at Bynum General Store is such a special tradition!

Thank you to The Old Ceremony and everyone who came out to make it another unforgettable night in Bynum!

One of those magical nights:

Well, the weather this time of year is always unpredictable. But every now and then, that unpredictability turns into something pretty magical.

Friday night May 22...The rain held off until after showtime, which meant we got to have music outside along with warm tasty food truck fare in that perfect cool evening weather with the always-popular Gravy Boys.

And then… somehow, an unbelievably large crowd showed up…
…and more kept coming.

What unfolded was one of those nights you wish you could bottle up — a happy, tight-knit audience gathered together, horses stopping by (on Bynum Rd)to visit, people lingering long after the set should’ve ended, calling for encore after encore of those beautifully harmonized songs they love.

Just one of those special nights we won’t forget anytime soon.

BFP's 25th season of the Summer Weekly Music Series continues to shine, and so do our VOLUNTEERS who lovingly contribute hours: curating the bands, setting up & running sound, recording for Youtube, wrangling chairs/food/trash,etc., taking great photographs, and all the other behind the scenes grunt work.

Experience an unforgettable evening with The Old Ceremony! https://www.facebook.com/events/1273762694426019

For twenty years, Chapel Hill’s own The Old Ceremony has been crafting richly layered, literate folk rock that lives in a world all its own — moody, cinematic, haunting, and hopeful all at once. With seven acclaimed albums and tours across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, this beloved North Carolina band continues to captivate audiences with songs full of heart, mystery, and unforgettable storytelling.

Led by songwriter Django Haskins, The Old Ceremony blends lush instrumentation with evocative lyrics and a sound that drifts beautifully between folk rock, chamber pop, and atmospheric Americana.

Over the years, they’ve shared stages with artists including The Jayhawks, CAKE, Giant Sand, and Squirrel Nut Zippers — and REM’s Mike Mills even sang and played bass on their acclaimed album Sprinter, produced by legendary producer Mitch Easter.

Featuring:
🎤 Django Haskins — songwriter & vocals
🎹 Mark Simonsen — vibes & organ
🎸 Shane Hartman — bass
🎻 Gabriel Pelli — violin
🥁 Nate Stalfa — drums

Come lose yourself in one of North Carolina’s most distinctive and enduring musical acts!
