Well, if I had my druthers, I’d like a fully charmed life. Semi-charmed doesn’t sound so bad, though. Third Eye Blind, the artist above, are headed to Barnhill Arena on the University of Arkansas Campus.
The Internet is limitless. There is no end to the amount of information out there, at least I hope not.
So, how [...]
Marshal Tucker (one L) is real.
But look for him onstage tonight (Sept. 25) at the Arkansas Music Pavilion, and you won’t find him.
He had previously rented a space in Spartanburg, S.C., that a new band had taken over. The band found his name on a set of keys, added an ‘L’ and used it as [...]
Hard to believe that it’s been almost 15 years since the song “Peaches” by the Presidents of the Unites States America was on every radio everywhere. The catchy pop-punk anthem was a smash hit for The Presidents, as were tunes such as “Lump” and “Kitty.” After a hiatus in the late 1990s, The Presidents are [...]
If you liked the albums “Swoon” and “Carnavas” from the Silversun Pickups, I suspect you liked the concert on Monday night (Sept. 21) at George’s Majestic Lounge.
If you didn’t care for the studio work, well, you didn’t get much to work with from the Los Angeles band.
There performance came as 700 fans, maybe more, packed [...]
Songs have soul.
The way they are created, they way they fall together in a live construct, the way they move from one melody to the next, it all has to amount to something, doesn’t it? Because, if it hadn’t been arranged well the first time around, would anyone have paid attention, cared or bought the [...]
For as dark and gloomy as he sounded on “Swoon,” the April album from Los Angeles band Silversun Pickups, lead singer Brian Aubert was sure cheery on the phone.
From a hotel room in Cincinnati, where his band was to perform later than night, Aubert told jokes, shared at his excitement in seeing the Ozarks for [...]
When an illness forced country music icon Willie Nelson to cancel several dates in March, fans in Springdale were among those to be disappointed. Nelson, the songwriter responsible for songs such as “Whiskey River,” “On the Road Again” and known for his affiliation with the outlaw country movement, will make up the canceled date with [...]
With each of the last three albums reaching No. 1 on the U.S. Bluegrass albums chart, Old Crow Medicine Show is certainly among the top bluegrass draws in the country. But just calling them a bluegrass act is unfairly limiting, as they also have elements of country, folk and Americana in their sound. The Nashville, [...]
When Metallica offered “S&M,” a 1999 album featuring their heavy metal songs accompanied by the San Francisco Symphony, it worked. The album won a Grammy Award and has sold more than six million copies.
Could it work the other way around, taking classical music and backing it with a rock band? Also, can you play Metallica [...]
It was one of those nights that leaves you wanting more.
More songs. More carousing. More … something.
We’ve seen this show before, of course. Anyone who has lived in Northwest Arkansas for any length of time has had plenty of chances to see Cross Canadian Ragweed, Lucero and Jonathan Tyler and the Morning Lights, the three [...]
