Four different, musically worthy programs hit the Triangle on Thursday. The Autumn version of the musically diverse Grassroots Festival kicks off at Shakori Hills, and continues through Sunday. Thursday's lineup features the Stax/Volt-styled soul of Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Bearfoot's Alaska bluegrass, Rosie Ledet's accordion-driven zydeco, Eilen Jewell's country-folk, and the world beat sounds of host band Donna the Buffalo.
