Friends are cheering them on and when they’re finished the people sitting around the bar let out a cheer and clap for their performance.Ī man with a burly build, beard, long hair and several tattoos comes up to the mike next.
Two young women are well into belting out a hip hop song, the karaoke beat is booming, and they haven’t missed a word yet. It’s Wednesday evening at Jolley Roger in Kill Devil Hills, NC.
