mith and Greens Creeks was once again filled with music. The Pirate Jam – a musical experience born from a pandemic – returned last weekend.

The Pamlico Arts Council helped orchestrate the event where bands play from the land at Teachs Point to a floating audience. Brant Island Strings, the Big Jim Kohler Band, newly formed band The Southern Hellcats and more played Sunday afternoon to an audience that floated, sailed, motored, swam, and paddled by.
