The Zoo City Pickers is a bluegrass band that played at the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market on Yanceyville Street this past weekend. Children danced, families ate fried donuts and other treats, and people shopped for produce and plants, as the sound of the Zoo City Pickers traveled throughout the venue. The band with its four members hail from Asheboro, Randolph County. Barbara Bartos plays the five string banjo, Bernie Bartos, the upright bass, PBob Coble, the harmonica, and Terry Lawrence guitar and mandolin.
If you think it is a sound you will like, The Zoo City Pickers will be playing at the Curb Market again in June. The main way to keep up with them is through Facebook. They don't appear to have a website. And regardless of what special events are or aren't at the Farmers Market, it is always a special place to visit.
