The Six String cafe (the best place to see local/regional musicians in the triangle) in cary, North Carolina, is closing it's doors at the end of the month after 4 years.
We used to go to the six string often (especially after the Hyphen closed) at least twice a month, sometimes weekly. Our food/beverage tab was usually under $15 (That’s on top of the Cover, and the CDs we'd almost always buy) and only do dinner there when we were running late (8pm shows and mediocre overpriced sandwiches aren't a great recipe for pulling in the dinner crowd), which may be why we never felt welcome there (I don't ever remember the staff smiling, or thanking us for coming out, or maybe other venues spoiled us).
The music however was top notch. From
Kid Sister/
Wall of Jules to
Sam Anderson/
Lindsay Smith to what was almost a private
Sean Smith show.
Even open mic nights ranged from tolerable to excellent.
Admittedly, we've only been to two shows there since Aiden was born (both were Kid Sister shows, and packed) but I will miss the music.
