The Note Ropers (Greenville, SC)
The Note Ropers are a Honky Tonk/Rockabilly band from Greenville, SC. We play authentic Honky Tonk Country fused with traditional Rockabilly for a sound that we call “Honkabilly.” The Note Ropers came together in April 2009 by some good friends who wanted to play our favorite style of music. The Note Ropers are influenced by Webb Pierce, Hank Williams, Faron Young, Johnny Horton, Elvis, Ernest Tubb, Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins, Fats Domino, Jimmie Rodgers, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, George Jones, Carl Perkins, Buck Owens, and many other artists. However, we put our own spin on our original music and covers with a respectful nod to our mentors. From our custom stage attire, instruments, comic relief, and professional delivery we enjoy what we do and make sure that our audience is entertained. If you don’t have fun at our show, then you had better check your pulse. We will have you tappin’ your foot and dancing in no time!
9:45 p.m. – Fireworks sponsored by Bon Secours St. Francis Health System
