Friday, Jan. 31

With January lasting three months this year instead of just 31 days, I think we could all use a happy hour right now. That’s where George’s comes in. This week, they’ve got locals The Juice and Jenna & The Soulshakers.

Want to see some of the best college athletes in the world race, and throw things, and jump over stuff? Me too. The Razorback Invitational is happening this weekend at the Randall Tyson Track Center on campus. Here’s more.

Later on at George’s Led Zeppelin will perform. Kinda. OK, it’s a tribute band. See if you can tell the difference.

Also in Rock, Tulsa-based musician Mike Hosty is in town for a show at Smoke & Barrel. He’s been freaking people out for years in Fayetteville.

For dancing, your best bet is Axis Lounge, where they have a four-act bill of electronic acts including Whiskers, Jynxx, Foxx, and Trippy Hippy.

TheatreSquared’s new show The Royale, based on the life of boxer Jack Johnson, is playing at their new theatre off Dickson Street. It’s been getting rave reviews.

There’s more below. Go for it.
