| Free Concert Sunday at Joyner Park You're invited to spend an evening with family and friends and enjoy some foot-tapping, finger snapping good times during a free concert Sunday at E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road.  Featuring Steph Stewart & The Boyfriends, the concert will get underway at 5 pm in the Joyner Park Amphitheater. Fronted by singer-songwriter Steph Stewart on guitar and banjo, Steph Stewart & the Boyfriends also features Omar Ruiz-Lopez on fiddle and mandolin, Mario Arnez on guitar and Nicholas Vandenberg on upright bass. Together, they deliver a haunting sound fusing old Appalachia and top-shelf Americana. The band also released a new album, Nobody's Darlin' earlier this year. Area residents are encouraged to bring a picnic, leashed pets, a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy the music. Concert-goers are reminded that alcoholic beverages, smoking, firearms and unleashed pets are prohibited at Joyner Park. Sunday's Concert in the Park is presented by PineCone, the Piedmont Council of Traditional Music, and co-sponsored by the Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Department; United Arts of Raleigh & Wake County; and Wake Forest ARTS. Our next "Concert in the Park" is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 6, featuring Lakota John & Kin.
