Bynum Front Porch, at 950 Bynum Road in Pittsboro (Chatham County), is a relaxed setting to enjoy music, and worth the drive from other parts of the Triangle. They host several regularly scheduled events, including storytelling, a music series, and a bluegrass jam session, open to all.
Bynum Front Porch is a nonprofit that rents the old Bynum General Store, turning it into a community gathering spot.
