There’s a ton happening in Fayetteville this weekend.

Local band Honeyjack will kick off the weekend with a happy hour performance at George’s Friday night. They’re also celebrating the release of a brand new single that just dropped on Amazon today.

Also in music, much-loved local band 3 Penny Acre will reunite for one night with a special show at the Guisinger Music House on the square. Tickets are $20, on sale here.

There’s a huge show at George’s later on as well, featuring local favs Arkansauce. Tickets are $17-20, on sale here.

Also in tunes, former Fayettevillian Nick Shoulders is in town with his new band OK Crawdad for a Smoke & Barrel Show (and Brewgrass appearance on Saturday). They released album not too long ago, and it’s excellent. Check it out.

There’s an electronic show at Axis as well, with Trippy Hippy, Dondo, and AVL.
