At The Barbershop in Drexel, NC, the atmosphere is laid back, the conversation free, and the music a cut above the rest.
In 2007 I directed a documentary short film called Pickin’ & Trimmin’. The film profiled The Barbershop in Drexel, North Carolina, where Lawrence Anthony and David Shirley barbered for decades and every weekend bluegrass musicians jammed in the back room. The film played at dozens of film festivals around the world and won multiple awards. On top of that, The Barbershop and the people in it became a very important part of my life.
When audiences were introduced to the shop, many were pleasantly surprised that such a place still existed. Recently, the shop has come to a crossroads where it needs outside help in order to continue on as a place for music, fellowship, and good old fashioned fun.
In late 2009, Lawrence Anthony, the head barber at the shop, passed away. His son Carroll intends to fulfill his father’s wish to keep the shop open in the same spirit as it always has been. Unfortunately, the shop has suffered from water damage and is in need of repair. Please watch the video above to see more.
The Barbershop has become a special part of the lives of everyone who has passed through its doors for a haircut, to listen to music, or to have a lively conversation. Many regulars at the shop have agreed to help chip in, but there are additional material costs involved. I hope you will consider playing a small part in continuing a legacy of true southern hospitality.
Any donations received on this website will go directly to Lawrence Anthony’s nonprofit Barbershop Preservation Fund.
Thanks
