They escape the sun and cozy up indoors in cool living rooms.

Matty Sheets joins on guitar and vocals to perform what they call “folk music with street smarts.” Sheets performs Saturday, June 9 at 8 p.m. at and on Thursday, June 14 at 9 p.m. at in Greensboro. You can catch Stewart on Friday, June 22 at 10 p.m. at. The duo play Saturday, July 14 at 7 p.m. at Greensboro’s .
