January 8, 8 PM at City Lights Bookstore, Sylva NC. Special Liar's Bench Focuses on Moonshine. Celebrating “moonshining in the mountains,” The Liar's Bench, Western North Carolina’s own Southern Appalachian live variety show, will be at City Lights on Saturday January 8 at 7:00 p.m. Marion Jones, Jack Parris, Gary Carden, Barbara Duncan, Steve Brady, and Paul Iarussi will be performing. Gary Carden will give a special introduction to a short film on moonshining in the mountains.
