Free Summer Concert Series featuring SOUTH OF K
August 9, 2013
South of K is an acoustic band that many of you will recognize as a neighbor, family member, or even a long time friend! Each member resides or has close ties to Kure Beach, NC. Dennis Cooper, Aaron and Jamie King, and Joey Canady each have a long history of performing in varying music genres, but their love for their brand of bluegrass and their strong friendship has brought them together to form... South of K. What you will experience with this band is more than merely music; it's "friendship manifested in music!"
Band members:
Dennis Cooper - Dennis grew up in the mountains of NC where music was a big part of his life, and made his way to Kure Beach where he works and resides. Dennis is a talented musician who plays bass normally but also seasons the band's music with the Dobro. Dennis lends a hand in the band's arrangements and handles bookings as well.
Aaron King - Aaron is a native of Wilmington, NC and the older brother of Jamie. Music has also been a huge part of Aaron's life.
