Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet Potato Pie is not your traditional cookie cutter band. The Pie has created a new musical style called “sweetgrass” which includes elements of country, classical, blues and bluegrass. Listeners call this group classy, funny, warm and entertaining! The variety of music ranges from classics like Pasty Cline, Bill Monroe and Hank Williams, to new originals that are sure to win your heart. So come out and have a slice of Sweet Potato Pie at the Apex Chamber of Commerce parking lot, corner of Salem and Center Street, in downtown Apex. Bring your chair and blanket for an evening of outside entertainment for the whole family.
