Buddy Shute and the Motivators blend the sounds of Memphis Blues, New Orleans R&B and Ozark Mountain grooves. From festival stages to smaller venues, they bring great tunes and good vibes wherever they go.

They’ve received airplay (and praise) on the historic King Biscuit Time radio show and blues stations around the world. Buddy and vocalist/ occasional co-writer Brenda Baskin combine lyrics with tunes that are uniquely relatable, danceable and memorable. It’s Tedeschi-Trucks meets Keb’ Mo’ with a little Dr. John thrown in for spice. Sorta.

Along with the talents of Mark McGee on harp, Steve Baskin on bass, and TJ Gates on drums, they’re true originals. Paul Kelso, host of KUAF’s Generic Blues show called them “Masters of the groove.” From Buddy’s award-winning blues to Motivator-spun covers, good times are guaranteed! https://buddyshute.com/singles/1160228466/107821

AT JJ’S GRILL SPRINGDALE WE DO FREE LIVE MUSIC 6-8 PM DURING THE WEEK AND 7:00-10:00 PM ON FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Inspired by and presented as part of our annual Artosphere Festival, the returning favorite Grammy®-nominated Dover Quartet will present an evening of exquisite chamber music. Named one of the greatest string quartets of this century by the BBC, the ensemble will perform alongside the Grammy®-nominated American composer and bassist Edgar Meyer. 

In demand as both a performer and a composer, Meyer has formed a role in the music world unlike any other. Hailed by The New Yorker as “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument,” his unparalleled technique and musicianship, in combination with his gift for composition, have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience.

We’re back at it again this year at Six Twelve for one of the most fun and FREE nights you’ll get around Northwest Arkansas. BLKCPTL and Big Day Entertainment of NWA presents the Hilltop Hip-Hop OPEN MIC SERIES! Every other month starting in March, we’ll be showcasing some of the best talent the Natural State has to offer, as well as allowing others to present their talents. And don’t be shy; it’s not just hip-hop! We want singers, musicians, comics, poets, EVERYONE! More info will be coming soon, but we can’t wait to see the amazing vibe you bring to our show!

After time at the Fayetteville Public Library, “The Hearts Project: A COVID-19 Memorial” is on the move again; this time it will be exhibited at Life Styles Blair Center in Springdale, Arkansas. Joined in concert with the individuals and adults with disabilities served by the center, the 3-piece collection will be integrated within a show highlighting artistic works made in response to prompts about life during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This exhibit adds a new dimension by incorporating new voices rarely heard: those of individuals and adults with disabilities who were shut in during the pandemic. Led by art educators at Life Styles, Joanna Reid, Joelle Storet, and Rosalind Waiwaiole the words and works awaken a variety of experiences integral to composing a comprehensive story about the pandemic. During the four-month stay at Life Styles, Moore will work with the clients and art educators to create a panel that will become part of a future frame devoted to the “shut-in” experience. Reception to open this exhibit will be Thursday, February 20 from 6pm – 8pm at the Blair Center in Springdale. Join us for an evening featuring expressive works of art as a new dimension of The Hearts Project.
