Well, would you look at that. It’s the weekend again.
It is African American Music month, and local non-profit Music Moves will be hosting some virtual events this weekend to commemorate the occasion. On Friday, they’ll stream a performance by local hiphop artist Live Sosa, followed by an all-star tribute to R&B legends on Saturday, and a Juneteenth kickoff event on Sunday.
Walton Arts Center will host another installment of their heARTs to Homes series on Saturday night at 6 p.m. This week’s event will focus on African-American Music Appreciation & Juneteenth, and will include appearances by Er-Gene Kahng (violin) & Nathan Carterette (piano) playing Florence Price’s arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” (courtesy of Arkansas Philharmonic), Mallory Barker, When We Gather (original poem), Anthony Ball of Music Moves AR, as well as Broadway Inspirational Voices and University of Arkansas’ Inspirational Chorale. Here’s more.
How about a movie night? Prairie Street Live is showing Goonies on their giant screen Friday night. Here’s more about that. They will also host a crawfish boil on Sunday.
Also in movies, the 112 Drive-in is showing Grease and Footloose this weekend. Here’s more about that.
If you feel like singing, Big Box Karaoke is open on a reservation-only basis for karaoke in their private suites. They have a lot of safety measures in place.
On Sunday, Fayetteville Public Library will stream a performance by Rachel B Table for 3 via their website. It’s part of their Mountain Street Stage series, and it starts at 2 p.m. More.
That’s all we have found so far, but as always, feel free to let us know about anything we missed in the comments.
