Upcoming Events
Live Music: Lakota John
Thursday, September 3, 2026
6 to 7:45 p.m.
Free (Registration is required)
This event takes place on the lawn of Gregg Museum, in partnership with NC State LIVE. John “Lakota John” Locklear is a living representation of the musical cultures of southeastern North Carolina. He is a member of the Lumbee Tribe who combines the blues with the indigenous music of his ancestors. Lakota John first picked up the harmonica at age seven, then the guitar. At age 10, intrigued by the sound of the slide guitar, he bought a glass slide, placed it on his pinky finger, and has been sliding ever since. Mama Tonya, Papa John and Sister Layla join him to form a proud Lumbee Nation family of talented musicians.
