Singer-songwriter Jay Smar will perform at Emmaus Road Cafe, 1886 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, on Saturday, March 23. Doors will open at 7 p.m., and the music will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Smar plays traditional American and original folk tunes, old-time mountain music, bluegrass and gospel tunes, and coal mining songs of northeast Pennsylvania. His music features two guitars, baritone vocals, claw-hammer banjo, fiddling, singing, and flat-footing, a form of clog-dancing.

He was also selected by the Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour to be on its professional touring roster.
