30+ bands playing benefit show in Carrboro this weekend

This weekend, music will be filling Carrboro from morning to night as more than 30 bands take part in a two-day event on Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10 called Carrboro Gets the HINT.

The show will be free and is being held to raise awareness of the group HINT, which is the Future of Music Coalition's Health Insurance Navigation Tool which provides musicians with advise about health insurance options.

The event will be held at Jesse's Coffee & Bar at 401 E. Main St., which will rotate between the indoor stage and the patio stage. The lineup includes The Tomahawks, Ben Davis & the Jets, Brett Harris, Justin Robinson & the Maryonettes, Luego and more. Check out the full schedule below, which runs rom 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Sunday.

[UPDATE: Due to Saturday night's storms, some bands scheduled did not get to play, but some of them have been added to the Sunday schedule. Check out all the new set times below.]

There will also be a series of raffles sponsored by Merge Records, Cat's Cradle, Local 506 and many other local businesses. So there are plenty of reasons to get out and support a great cause and great music.
