CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Dozens of musical acts will be performing over the four-day MerleFest which kicks off on April 28, 2022.
One of them is singer-songwriter David Childers, a Mount Holly resident and former high school football player, and a man with an “Aw shucks” demeanor.
Citing Chaucer and Kerouac as influences, Childers fell in love with folk music as a teen and listens to jazz and opera.
Bob Crawford of The Avett Brothers calls David “a great friend, a great thinker, and a great man… a true North Carolina treasure.”
Before MerleFest, Childers stopped by our studio during QC Morning for a special performance.
