The lineup for First Night Fayetteville has been announced … and there won’t be a national headlining act this year.
First Night, which takes place annually on Dec. 31, is also moving.
Last year’s event, as in years past, took place on the Fayetteville Square. Pop rockers Fastball, who had a few hits in the mid-90s, were [...]
Above, O.A.R. performers “Shattered.” No doubt they’ll do that song, and many of their other hits, when they perform Nov. 10 on the University of Arkansas campus.
O.A.R. — Of A Revolution — is one of those bands that seems to be either loved or loathed.
A friend of mine owns all of the band’s recordings (six [...]
A frequent performer on the local music scene and a featured artist on “The Local X” radio program on KXNA 104.9 FM, Fayetteville-based Well, Well, Well… will release its debut album at a concert Saturday night at Club Froggy’s, 402 W. Dickson St., in Fayetteville. The thrash- and punk-flavored group cites bands such as Black [...]
It sounds strange to say this, but it’s about time the blog started compiling the year’s best albums and rock shows.
We’re about eight weeks away from the end of the year, but only about six before the holiday shopping rush, which seems to be a good time to have a list of the year’s best [...]
It’s busy in October, with all the football games, craft fairs and Halloween hijinks.
So those at the Eureka Springs Festival Office decided to give the 61st annual Ozark Folk Festival a weekend of its own — in November.
The festival kicks off Nov. 6 with performances by Noah Earle and 3 Penny Acre and concludes with [...]
When he performs Nov. 7 at Fayetteville’s Walton Arts Center, Joey DeFrancesco should be happy man.
The jazz musician recently moved to Arizona, but he spent a considerable amount of time in Philadelphia. His beloved Phillies just won the World Series, so expect a little euphoria onstage.
He might also play “Take Me Out to the Ball [...]
The Maryland-based duo of Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus, above, are usually on the road as members of their band, Edge City, but have stepped away from the full band sound to something more intimate. In a series of acoustic settings across the country, the duo will perform songs from their recent album, “Plans Gang [...]
A band somewhat resembling The Kinks, above, will perform at Club Froggy’s on Oct. 31.
By now, you’ve got your costume all ready to go. The pumpkins are carved and sitting on the front porch, scaring little kids.
There’s only one question left: Where to party on Halloween?
We’ve compiled a list for your convenience, and we must [...]
The answer is yes.
Earlier this week, we told you about the opening weekend of The Gypsy on College, which kicks off with Nashville, Tenn.’s Bonepony on Saturday (Nov. 1).
Now comes word that another music space swings open its doors that day, too.
The Mayapple Salon opens Nov. 1 at 546 W. Center St., located in the [...]
For someone — myself included — who didn’t live here until a few years ago, it’s hard to qualify and quantify the influence the band Punkinhead might have had on Fayetteville and the local music scene in the ’90s.
The group, which released two studio albums and toured the country during its heyday, hasn’t played together [...]
