The See
For some reason on Fridays, lots of people get really thirsty right after work. For those people, there is something called happy hour, and at George’s happy hour, Leah & the Mojo Doctors and Nace Brothers are playing. Later on, Ben Miller Band will be back in town, and back on the stage in the garden.
Have you ever seen The See? They happen to be one of the best bands playing in Little Rock right now. They also happen to have a new record out, and they’ll be at the JR’s Lightbulb Club with Austin-based songwriter Seth Sherman.
Feel like some rock-a-billy? Smoke & Barrel Tavern has you covered with Kansas City band, The Rumblejetts.
