| The Weems Gerrard Band |
 |
The Weems-Gerrard Band lives in and around Durham, NC and loves to play classic country/honky tonk as well as their own original songs. The glue that holds the band together is the pure country soul vocals and nail-you-to-the wall harmonies of Alice Gerrard and Mark Weems, founders of the band. Alice and Mark love the old songs and they’re also writing new and original songs—good to listen to—good to dance by! |
