Larry And Joe

March 24 | 7 p.m.

Celebrate the release of musical duo Joe Troop and Larry Bellorín’s debut album, Nuevo South Train, at Durham’s The Fruit. Bellorín hails from Venezuela, where he’s widely known for his folk talents. Troop is originally from Winston-Salem and is a Grammynominated bluegrass musician (with his band Che Apalache) whose style is also influenced by travels to Argentina and Spain. “Nuevo South Train could only come about when a virtuoso Latin American folk musician like my soul brother Larry decides to make North Carolina his home,” says Troop. “What Larry is doing in my stomping grounds is what I did during my decade in South America.” Musician and album producer Charlie Hunter, rock and country musician DaShawn Hickman, and jazz artist Brevan Hampden will also be performing. Arepas and coffee will be for sale on-site, and The Fruit’s bar will be open. $25 suggested donation; 305 S. Dillard Street, Durham; larryandjoe.com
