Monday To-do
If you’re looking to get into the holiday spirit, George’s hosts “The First Ornaments of Christmas,” a multimedia re-imagining of the Christmas story. The live band, comprised of Bryce Napier, Toby Wills, Trevor Bates, and Cameron Heger (formerly of Christmas Fuller Project), will perform original music rock-opera-style along with narration, and animated footage.

Dreamfast has been busy lately. The band just released a new video (embedded below) and has plans for a brand new album in early 2012. Plus, singer Amyh Hart told us the group will sign a record deal with a local label in January.
Also tonight, the Arkansas women’s basketball team takes on Morgan State at Bud Walton Arena and a few local restaurants host some live music.
