Easter is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for an egg hunt for the kiddos, there’s a big one at Gulley Park on Saturday. It starts around noon, and there will be music by the kids from School of Rock. Here’s more info.

Music-wise, Stoney LaRue is at George’s, Galaxy Tour Guides are at Smoke & Barrel, and there’s a music/comedy show at Kingfish with Youth Pastor and Comedians NWA including performances by local jokesters Stef Bright, Forster McAlexander, Stephanie Grace Cross and Paul Naegle.

The Jayhawks are touring again, and they’ll be in town for a show at George’s Sunday night. As Kevin Kinder pointed out in his feature on the band earlier this week, the New York Times once called them the best band you’ve never heard of. (You guys have heard of the Jayhawks, though, right?) Anyway, they released a new record last year, and they’ll be playing those tracks along with some classics (we hope) Sunday night. Tickets are $20 on George’s ticketing site.
