If you’re like me and you aren’t a gigantic fan of winter, I have the worst news for you. It’s just getting started. Like, it’s not even the middle of January yet, and after we get through this month, we have a whole 29 days of February to deal with and after that it’s March which could really go a lot of different ways weather-wise. Sorry y’all. That’s just where we are right now.
Along those lines, there are a couple chances for winter weather over the next several days, and in that event, it’s definitely a good idea to double check with the venues before heading out to any of the stuff on the below list.
That said, there’s some good stuff scheduled to happen this weekend as long as ol’ Jack Frost leaves us alone.
On Friday night, there’s an opening reception for a cool fiber arts show happening at Fenix Arts featuring the work of several local crocheters, knitters, weavers and all manor of fiber artists on display in a new show called ‘Hanging by a Thread.‘ The reception is scheduled from 5-8 p.m. Here’s more info.
How about some comedy? Walton arts Center has a performance by comedian Trey Kennedy scheduled for Friday night.
George’s will kick off their weekend with a performance by local party band Ultra Suede, followed by the return of Grateful Dead tribute Friends of the Phamily for the late-night show on Friday. On Saturday night, a local Prince tribute band will perform.
Also on Saturday night, Hopout DIY will host a show featuring six Arkansas hardcore bands at American Legion. The show is called Sweaterfest, and performers include Dryer Fire, Obliviate, Heldtight, Death Rattle Take//Rest, and Second Life. It’s all all-ages show, and it starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $10.
There’s also a rock show at Smoke & Barrel on Saturday night featuring The Salesman, Far Beyond Drunk, and Hoss.
The Momentary will continue their indoor show series with indie act Soccer Mommy on Saturday night. Oklahoma rockers stepmom will open the show. Here’s more info.
West & Watson will host another installment of their monthly Impact Drum & Bass series featuring THUMP DNB. Phenetic, Selrahc and VVAVES on Saturday. There’s a $5 cover.
If you feel like jamming or watching others jam, the Folk School of Fayetteville has a couple chances to do just that on Sunday. They’ll host a Soldier Songs & Voices jam at 2 p.m. and a jam for folks 21 and younger at 5 p.m.
Also on Sunday, Maxine’s Tap Room will celebrate their Capricorn friends whose birthdays are sometimes overshadowed by the holiday season with a Capricorn Ball featuring dance music by Odeon DJ Collective.
