Friday Night Live: MacKenzie McGuire

Live from Research Triangle Park, it’s Friday Night Live!

Good vibes. Good people. Good food. Good drinks. The cherry on top? Good music. In Boxyard-fashion, we aren’t boxing ourselves in with one genre. Every Friday, our container stage opens to showcase collective sounds from musicians across our region, in whatever form or fashion.

Looking for LOJO? Don’t worry! You can still jam out with us every first and third Friday of the month.
