Good cover bands and great original tunes this weekend -- and hip-hop! In Eureka!Posted Friday, May 17, at 6:23 AM This weekend brings a new local favorite to Chelsea's and a highly unusual (for Eureka Springs) hip-hop show to Squid and Whale, as well as some strong cover bands (including bad-afemale blues vocalist Anna Williams and her band Moonshine Mafia Saturday night at The Lumberyard -- read more about them on my music blog this week since we're limited on space here). Following are my other recommendations for the best musical entertainment in town this weekend:...
This weekend brings some excellent roots, country and bluegrass music to Eureka Springs all weekend, and two of the shows I think will be the best live music in town happen to both be at Chelsea's Corner Cafe & Bar on Friday and Saturday, and then there is another great band on Sunday at Squid and Whale Pub...
This weekend features a new Eureka Springs band comprised of some well-known and well-loved musicians, and an established group from Fayetteville with a new name. Following are my recommendations for what I believe will be the best live music and entertainment in town this weekend...
FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Music Pavilion, a.k.a. The Amp, is excited to welcome Old Crow Medicine Show on Saturday, May 4 at 7:30pm at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 29 at 9 am and range from $32 - $77. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 479-443-5600 or visiting www.amptickets.com...
Squid and Whale hosts two great Arkansas bands this weekend, while jazz-rock-fusion standout the Matt Smith Group of Fayetteville comes to Chelsea's Saturday night. Following are my recommendations for the best live music in town this weekend, and below that the entertainment/music schedule for all Eureka Springs venues...
This Friday night, Chelsea's Corner Cafe & Bar hosts Arkansas' most talented female singer-songwriter, in my opinion, and her full band, The Sarah Hughes Band. Fayetteville-based Sarah Hughes' voice is a bit twangy, so if you don't like twang, don't go. ...
Not very frequently do I review out of area shows on this blog, nor do I very often preview shows as far away as Little Rock, but the show I saw last night in Tulsa convinced me it needed to happen. I saw multi-Grammy nominee North Mississippi Allstars at Cain's in Tulsa ( the club is home of Bob Wills, incidentally)...
For those of you who enjoy live music but don't like staying out late or going to bars, Friday night is your night. The Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Midwinter Hometown Jam at The Aud this Friday, Feb. 22, beginning at 7 p.m., featuring seven local rock, country and R&B bands, who will each play individual sets before all jamming together at the end of the night...
Big Gigantic at George's in Fayetteville? Now this will be epic, I'll wager About 15 months ago, I attended a Pretty Lights concert at Verizon Arena in Little Rock. The electronic dance band that opened was one I'd heard of but never listened to, and I got the feeling from the crowd, which began filling in about halfway through the opener's set, that most of the folks there were in the same boat as me...
Eureka Springs is the headquarters for lots of great original live music this weekend. Here's a preview of what I believe will be your best live music bets this weekend. If you dig Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show and the Legendary Shack Shakers, you will surely dig the band performing at the Chelsea's Corner Cafe & Bar this Friday, Feb. 15...
Lotus plays George's Wednesday -- just before release of new album Electronic-instrumental dance group Lotus headlines a show at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville on Wednesday, Feb. 13 -- just six days before their new album, "Build," is released on SCI Fidelity Records. Here's the first track off that album:...
One of Eureka Springs' newest original music acts -- with the most impressive songwriting I've seen around these parts -- Chucky Waggs, is throwing a CD release party Friday night at Chelsea's, for his debut album just released a few weeks ago. Chucky Waggs, which is actually Adam Wagner of Mountain Sprout fame, will perform with friends beginning around 9:30 p.m...
Based in Raleigh, N.C., American Aquarium's Southern musical perspective is a blend of honest songwriting, an unwavering work ethic, and a genuine love of rock and roll. Whether you call it alt-country, Americana, or roots rock, one thing is for certain: Their music is a fresh voice that borrows from many forms of the American songbook...
If you're staying in Eureka Springs this weekend, I recommend checking out jazz-rock band SPiNRaD Friday night at Voulez-Vous Lounge or West Coast blues guitarist Laurie Morvan and her band Saturday night at Squid and Whale Pub's 4th annual "Beach Party," where you're all invited to wear your best and wildest beach wear (over your long johns of course) and get a little crazy for a while...
Have you heard Mountain Sprout yet? If you haven't, you probably have never seen anyone play bluegrass this rowdy or this fast. Hillbilly-bluegrass band Mountain Sprout features high-speed, rollicking good times at every turn, and there are a lot of turns. The Eureka Springs-based band has been taking a break lately, cutting back their schedule, but they are headlining a show at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville this Friday night. Finally, we can get our Mountain Sprout fix!...
Headliners include Widespread Panic, Snoop Lion (I still can't say or type that without laughing, but whatever), STS9 and Dispatch. Looks like a STELLAR lineup and a great time! See the poster for more info, or visit http://www.wakarusa.com. I'll have more here on this blog soon, including preview articles on some of the bigger acts as well as the lesser-known jewels on the schedule...
This weekend brings the most great live music that we've had packed into one weekend in months, with stellar bands playing at several venues both nights. Following are my picks for the best shows each night: Ever heard of JJ Grey & Mofro, or the band called Lettuce? How about Galactic or the Grateful Dead? Or The New Mastersounds, or Gov't Mule?...
If you dig Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show and the Legendary Shack Shakers, you will surely dig the band performing at the Chelsea's Corner Cafe & Bar this Saturday, Jan. 5. Honky Suckle, based in Springfield, Mo., is comprised of four talented musicians in upright bassist and vocalist Dave Smith; Kyle Young on harmonica and vocals; drummer and vocalist Adam Howell; and Eric Howell on the resonator, guitar, banjo and vocals...
My pick for New Year's Eve live music and fun: An up-and-coming Eureka Springs band consisting of three brothers -- Josh, Chris and Nick Bower -- is headlining a super-fun NYE party in neighboring Fayetteville. And plans are in the works for a "party bus" to drive folks from here to there and back next Monday night...
If you like female vocalists who can wail and nail their notes, and send chills down your spine while making your booty shake with the beat, then you don't want to miss Moonshine Mafia at Squid and Whale Pub this Saturday, Dec. 22. Moonshine Mafia, based in Hot Springs, will appeal to fans of Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and Adele. It consists of five members and is led by Anna Jordan-Williams on guitar and vocals...
