About Your Hosts

Brown Mountain Lightning Bugs – A Folk(ish) Fusion of Tradition & Psychedelia

If Jerry Garcia and Tom Waits formed an Appalachian music duo, it might sound a little like the Brown Mountain Lightning Bugs. Hailing from Winston-Salem, NC, Zack and Kendra Harding blend the traditional with the trippy, crafting a unique style of original music they call folk(ish).

Since officially forming in 2016, the duo has performed extensively across the United States and has taken their sound internationally, recently returning from a successful tour in the UK and Ireland. Their distinctive sound and easygoing stage presence have earned them spots at renowned venues and festivals, including Mill Farm Music Party (UK), Front Porch Fest, Rockwood Music Hall, Piedmont Folkways, and more. Currently, they are hard at work completing their third album, further solidifying their reputation as a dynamic and innovative force in modern folk music.

Pop Goes The Waffle Pop Goes The Waffle is a dessert waffle and waffle pop food truck based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, dedicated to crafting delicious, indulgent treats that bring your sweetest dreams to life.

Proudly woman-owned, veteran-owned, and faith-driven, we specialize in weddings, birthdays, festivals, and special events—bringing joy one waffle at a time!
