George Winston must not have been content mastering one style of piano.
So he learned three of them.
The pianist is accomplished as a stride player (think Fats Waller), on New Orleans piano (think Dr. John or Professor Longhair) and a pop style of his own creation he likes to call rustic folk.
He has recorded solo piano [...]
Legally blind since birth, Bill Hearne is not a typical musician. He is largely self-taught, and his picking style was one he developed all his own. While in Austin, Texas, Hearne met his wife, Bonnie, and the duo toured together for years. In 1997, they were signed to Warner Bros. Records and their first album [...]
It’s almost Halloween. Almost.
There is still a week to get your costume together. There is still a week to carve a pumpkin (and bake and eat the seeds after you do. Delish). There is still time to buy candy for the visiting kiddos.
When that’s all complete, don’t bother searching for places to go. [...]
The name Lollipop Factory might be a little bit of a misnomer. The Alabama-based duo of Bekah Manning and David Tweed don’t make confectionery treats. Instead, they make tasty metal music. The group, currently touring the South, will trek through Fayetteville and will stop for a 10 p.m. concert today (Oct. 23) at Smoke & [...]
Although there was no indication that the festival would be going away after a successful first year in this area, this was comforting this morning:

The festival will take place June 3-6.
In a word, YES.
As artists are announced, we’ll update you here. [...]

The last time she released an album, in fact, it was as a collaboration with Texas songwriter Bruce Jones.
This time, it’s her turn.
Kaitz, who moved to Northwest Arkansas in the late ’90s after [...]
So often when they perform in the area, classic rockers Little Feat are on larger stages, such as during the Dickson Street Music Festival in 2007 or during Feat Fest in Eureka Springs. But on Saturday night (Oct. 17), the band will tackle the infinite confines of George’s Majestic Lounge, 519 W. Dickson St. in [...]
A few weeks ago, we learned that rockers Third Eye Blind are planning a Nov. 17 visit to Barnhill Arena on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville.
Now, we have a little bit more information.
Because, as suspected, the concert is being produced by the university’s Headliner Concerts Committee, a student-fee driven entity, a limited number [...]
Sometimes, you just want to hear a song. Not just something on the radio, lurking in the background. But to really listen, catch the lyrics, feel the emotions and discover its history.
Local musician Effron White, who has written his fair share of songs, knows the feeling. His travels to songwriter festivals and tours throughout the [...]
Country music fans who missed the opportunity to see Arkansas native Justin Moore when he performed Sept. 29 at the Chi Omega Greek Theater on the University of Arkansas campus will have a second chance. The up-and-coming artist, whose self-titled debut was released earlier this year, will visit Neumeier’s Rib Room and Beer Garden, 817 [...]
