According to Pollstar and the band’s Web site, 3 Doors Down will visit the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville on April 3.
Makes sense, since we’ve been told that is the date for X Fest, sponsored by local rock station 104.9 FM.
3 Doors Down has been around for a while, and they’ve sold more than [...]
There is a name for his fan club: The Fred Heads. Yes, despite his relative obscurity, Canadian troubadour Fred Eaglesmith has a rabid fan base. His tour will bring him to Fayetteville’s GoodFolk Productions on March 6, less than a week after the 5th Annual Fred Eaglesmith Texas Weekend, a three-day celebration in Gruene, Texas. [...]
