Weekend Flyer: March 6-8, 2014

Animal Eyes

The legendary Rosanne Cash will be at Walton Arts Center for a show Friday night. Last we heard, the show was nearing a sellout, but it looks like you can probably still score a pair of tickets here if you hurry.

It’s SXSW season, and that always translates to good shows in Fayetteville. There’s a good one at The Lightbulb Club Friday night with Portland, OR band Animal Eyes, Ice Balloons (featuring Kyp Malone from TV on the Radio!), and awesome locals Teenagers.

Smoke & Barrel has a good show as well, with Austin, TX band The Blind Pets, and locals Pagiins and Eyes of Iron.

If you’re feeling like a little bit of country music, locals Backroad Anthem are at George’s.
