A very young Ronnie Hawkins leads The Band in a spirited version of “Who Do You Love,” captured for the film “The Last Waltz.”
Northwest Arkansas has been home to many a musician.
Perhaps none of them are more influential, more regarded and more important than Ronnie Hawkins.
On Saturday, the Huntsville native will be inducted [...]
Hailing from Chicago, the trio known as Future Rock call themselves “electronic sensory overload.” Their sound comes courtesy of live loops, synthesizers and an electronic drum kit, and it is augmented with a vivid light show. The group, which has been touring across the country and performing at festivals, will visit Fayetteville tonight (Nov. 14) [...]
O.A.R. is not a rock band.
No, wait. Hear me out on this one.
Watching the Maryland-based group perform on Monday night in Barnhill Arena on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville on Nov. 10, I couldn’t help but think that O.A.R. is not a rock band, perhaps to the point they purposely try to avoid [...]
The blog heard good things about (but was not able to attend) the newly reformed Blind Melon’s performance in in Fayetteville in April, so we were glad to see that the band was coming back for an encore show.

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 [...]
It isn’t often that the blog discusses the national music scene. After all, this is a local music blog.
But this is one of those stories that has to be discussed.

It seems the soda maker was so confident that “Chinese Democracy,” the much ballyhooed and much delayed release from Guns ‘N’ [...]
Attempts to take live photos at the Three 6 Mafia concert were unsuccessful. Silly cameras. And we can’t exactly post a YouTube for all the language, so here’s a text-only review:
The biggest crime perpetrated by the crowd at the Three 6 Mafia show on Oct. 24 at the Fayetteville Town Center was this: It ignored [...]
