Behind the sheen of his aviators, there is some soul in Leon Russell. The noted classic rock pianist and songwriter is coming back to Fayetteville.

A quick check of the Walton Art Center’s new events page yielded a few interesting nuggets this morning. Specifically, that on consecutive evenings, Leon Russell and Joe Nichols will be performing there.

Russell, who has toured with Joe Cocker and got his start as a top songwriter, will perform on Dec. 18, a Friday. Tickets are $30.50-$50.50 and are already available through the venue’s Web site.

Nichols is a Rogers native who has achieved country music stardom with songs such as “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off” and “Brokenheartsville.” He released his latest album, “Old Things New,” in late October. His performance takes place Dec. 19, a Saturday. Tickets are $20.50-$35.50.
