You guys are probably about as tired of hearing the “h” word (rhymes with slot) now as you were of hearing the “s” word (rhymes with grow) back in February, or the “r” word (rhymes with brain) back in April.
Which is why you will not find the “h” word anywhere in this weekend’s to-do post. Other words not included below are warm, smoldering, brimstone, fire, burn, burning, toasty, or hell.
You will also not find any camera-phone images of anyone’s dashboard thermometer here.
You’re welcome. Happy weekend.
Friday
Arts Live Theatre has been busy lately. After performing Hamlet – Zombie Killer Of Denmark around town last weekend,they’re doing a string Fiddler on the Roof shows at UARK Ballroom this weekend. Here is the schedule of performances.
How about a happy hour show? Earl & Them will be at George’s right after work, and later on, local Rhythm and Blues masters Black Pearl will take the stage at around 10 p.m.
Locals Honeyshine will be at Smoke & Barrel Friday night. Martha from the band is promising a beer bath, FYI.
The good news is that Memphis Pencils are back from their East Coast tour, and will be at The Lightbulb Club for a show along with DJ EJ and Brothel Sprouts. The sad news is that several Memphis Pencils including JD Paul (Messy Sparkles) will be moving to Austin later this month, and it’s likely to be the last time to see them in Fayetteville for a long time. Send them off in style.
Saturday
The Fayetteville Farmers’ Market has fallen behind a bit in the online vote for best Farmers’ Market in the country. You know what to do.
Groovement is releasing a brand new album at George’s Saturday night. The first 100 people through the door get a free CD with their $5 cover charge. Jon Shorter Band and Isayah’s Allstars are also on the bill.
There’s a big show at Rogue with locals The People in the Paper, Dreamfast, Jarris, Motortrain, and I Do Declare. I believe it’s a birthday celebration for Alissa Noel of Kruz 94.9. She does the local show.
Sunday
Have you ever been to one of the Sunday shows at Terra Studios? We’ve heard good things about them. This week, they’ve got Waoka.
The Rick Springfield show scheduled for the Arkansas Music Pavilion has been moved to the Walton Arts Center due to the crazy heat we’ve been experiencing around here. Here’s more info on that.
