Musician Amy Helm, daughter of The Band’s Levon Helm, will be back in town for a show at George’s Majestic Lounge Friday night. We talked to her earlier this week about her connection to Fayetteville, and other things. Tickets to the show are $20-$25, and last we heard, there were still some available. Earl & Them is also on the bill.
There’s a rock show at Smoke & Barrel with excellent Alabama band Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires with locals, Ten High. Lee Bains & The Glory Fires just put out a sweet live album. Listen here.
TheatreSquared’s brand new show Skeleton Crew opened this week at Nadine Baum Studios. It’s a New York Times Critics’ Pick and 2016 OBIE Award-winner. Here’s some more info.
