It’s Thursday, which if you ask us, is pretty much the perfect day to have a little talk about what kind of shenanigans we might get ourselves into over the next few days. Here’s what we know about what’s happening in and around Fayetteville this weekend.

George’s will kick their weekend off with a performance by local legends, Earl & Them. The late night show is a dance party featuring Minnesota and Abelation, and on Saturday, there’s bluegrass with local heroes Arkansauce who are back in town for a show along with Still House Junkies.

Also in tunes this weekend, there’s a rock show at Smoke & Barrel on Friday night with Burned Up Bled Dry, TV Preacher, and Chronowizard.
