This shouldn’t come as news to anyone, as it’s been dominating news coverage since it happened yesterday afternoon.
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died yesterday. Although details about his unexpected death are still to come, early indications point toward cardiac arrest. He was 50.
Clearly, his influence on — and for a time, dominance of — [...]
Robert Cray performs “My Last Regret” with his band. Cray and company will highlight the lineup today (June 26) at the Riverfront Blues Festival in Fort Smith.
It’s hard to get much for $5 these days, but that’s all it will take per night to attend the 19th annual Riverfront Blues Festival at Harry E. Kelley [...]
The Big Bopper sings his famous song, “Chantilly Lace,” on “American Bandstand.”
If you read our What’s Up! preview piece on “John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party” today, you’ll notice that we interviewed Jay Richardson, son of the legendary J.P. Richardson, known to rock ’n’ roll fans as The Big Bopper and famous for the song “Chantilly [...]
Although they hail from Joplin, Mo., the Ben Miller Band likely considers Fayetteville a second home. The bluegrass group performs regularly in the area and will on July 2 appear at Party on the Patio, which takes place beginning at 7 p.m. at Powerhouse Seafood and Grill, 112 N. University Ave., in Fayetteville. The band, [...]
When you want some freaky gypsy folk (and awesome mustaches), you can always count on Gogol Bordello. They are performing in July at Tulsa’s DFest. The song is “Wonderlust King.”

The Band sings “It Makes No Difference” during the concert film “The Last Waltz.” Does it make a difference to fans that one of its members, Arkansas native Levon Helm, didn’t sing at a local concert?
Perhaps a text message I got in the moments following Levon Helm’s concert on June 18 at the Walton Arts [...]

The Drive-By Truckers sing “Women without Whiskey.” There is certain to be a bit of both around, however, when they play at George’s Majestic Lounge on Aug. 7.
Digging around on George’s Majestic Lounge’s online concert calendar this afternoon, we stumbled across this gem: the Drive-By Truckers are coming to Fayetteville.
The appearance, which is confirmed by [...]
The Levon Helm Band performs “Chest Fever” late last year. Expect this song to be played when the band comes to Fayetteville tonight. As for what else to expect, that’s hard to say.
If you haven’t got tickets to see Levon Helm tomorrow (June 18) at the Walton Arts Center, well, you’re probably out of luck.
The [...]
“Will You Return?” Well, yes they will. Just like last year, The Avett Brothers are scheduled to perform at the Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival. P.S., stick with the video until at least the 1:40 mark. It picks up a little. And by a little, I mean … well just watch it, alright.
Remember Mulberry Mountain?
