If you've seen a young man in camo playing a guitar at Brewbaker's or Liefie's, it's Ray Elam, who recently returned from Afghanistan where he served as a medic. He has settled in Winnsboro and was recently engaged to Shannon Friez of Mineola.

This weekend, Double C Steakhouse will have Ray playing on stage from 8 pm - 10 pm.

For this performance, there is NO COVER CHARGE.

However, donations accepted and greatly appreciated.

We are likely to see last minute additions of musical events, so keep an eye out for them. Check the Winnsboro Online Guide page on Facebook for performances that are booked at the last minute.

Winnsboro musicians are inclined to schedule a gig at the last minute (and I do mean LAST minute!). Occasionally there may be a change in performers due to schedules or illness.
