The original cast of Jersey Boys has come together for a touring show, and that show is at the Walton Arts Center Friday night. Midtown Men will sing hits from The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Jackson Five, The Four Seasons and more as part of the show. Here’s ticket info.

SXSW Week is always a good week for music in Fayetteville, and that continues this weekend as well. Philadelphia blues-rockers TJ Kong & The Atomic Bomb will be at Smoke & Barrel for a show Friday night on their way back through town after a festival appearance.

One of the most critically acclaimed metal bands in the world will be in town this weekend as well. Little Rock’s Pallbearer will be at the Lightbulb Club Friday night with Auric. Tickets are at Block Street Records, and this one’s likely to sell out.
