Weekend Flyer: Feb. 6-8, 2015

  • By Todd Gill · Friday, Feb 6, 2015 

Friday events, Feb. 6

Want to help a local band grab spot on a national stage this year? The Waka Winter Classic is Friday night at George’s Majestic Lounge. The annual battle-of-the-bands-style competition gives local acts a chance to perform alongside over 100 other bands at the three-day Wakarusa music festival on Mulberry Mountain. Each group will play a live set and the band that receives the most votes from audience members will win a cash prize and an opportunity to perform at Wakarusa. This year’s contestants are Galaxy Tour Guides, The Irie Lions, Vintage Pistol, Move Orchestra, and Crazy Neighbor. A bit more info here.

Texas roots music duo Lynn Adler and Lindy Hearne (Adler & Hearne) will perform at Fayetteville Underground Friday night. The award-winning performing songwriters will be joined by longtime local musician Emily Kaitz on bass. The show is another production of Mike Shirkey’s The Pickin’ Post, so it’s a guaranteed good time. Music begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $12. Reservation info here.

If you missed seeing Amasa Hines last weekend, there’s a rare opportunity to quickly make up for that. The Little Rock supergroup is back in town Friday night for a performance at Ryleigh’s on Dickson Street. Since coming on strong in 2012 as one of Paste Magazine‘s “12 Arkansas Bands You Should Listen To Now,” the group was voted as the best band in the state by Arkansas Times readers, and for good reason. Music starts at 10 p.m. Admission is $5.

Courtesy NWA Prison Story Project

The NWA Prison Story Project is branching out with a new type of performance this year. For three years, the group has been meeting with incarcerated women to explore the art of storytelling. The project made its first attempt at working with men in prison when it visited the Randall L. Williams Correctional Facility in Pine Bluff in November. The men’s writing was edited into a staged reading to be performed by local actors beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Fayetteville Underground. A suggested donation of $10 is encouraged. More info here.

A new play by local playwright Robert Ford is back for a second week in Fayetteville. TheatreSquared brings to life Ford’s Look Away with a string of performances scheduled at Nadine Baum Studios this weekend. Here’s more info.

The Arkansas men’s basketball team is gearing up for a sold-out game at 3 p.m. Saturday inside Bud Walton Arena. The Razorbacks 17-5 (6-3 SEC) take on Mississippi State in hopes of retaining their second-place standing in the SEC. Those in attendance will be treated to a halftime ceremony recognizing Arkansas legend Sidney Moncrief, who will be honored by the hanging of banner of his No. 32 jersey.

Saturday night promises several live music choices (see below), including two world-influenced jazz performances from Clarice Assad at the Walton Arts Center. Assad’s shows begin at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m, and admission ranges from $15-$30.
