Happy Birthday Otis.
Giving you the music a day early:
An electrifying metal cover of Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” was a bonus track on Framing Hanley’s debut album, 12 emo-heavy tunes of teen angst powered by post-grunge rhythms. But the unlikely cover was also a hit on modern rock radio, and the band has kept the flames burning by touring constantly with acts such as Evans Blue and Red. The five-piece band makes their second stop of the year at Juanita’s, headlining a show that includes black-clad, Central Florida powerpop/rock quintet Transmit Now, Memphis, Tenn., up-tempo, radio-friendly alternative rockers Sore Eyes and Kansas modern rockers Signum A.D.. Expect the music around 9 p.m. Presented by 100.3 The Edge, tickets for the all-ages concert are $12 advance and $15 day of show.
The road seemingly goes on forever for the Red Dirt Country outfit Cross Canadian Ragweed as the band is always skipping from one town to the next. The band’s heavy touring calendar places them at Revolution Music Room with Fayetteville band Charliehorse, an outfit who throw out Ozark-flavored Americana music with a rockabilly kick. The show time for the 21-and-up gig is 8:30 p.m., and tickets are $25. The Oklahoma band — known for crossing energetic Southern rock with Texas singer/songwriter country — will be visiting Little Rock just days after releasing their newest album, Happiness and All the Other Things: the band’s fifth on the Universal South label, and an album that includes a live cover of Willie Nelson’s “Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground.”
To celebrate what would have been the 68th birthday of perhaps the greatest soul singer of all time and a man former rock critic (and now Bruce Springsteen manager) Jon Landau said “is rock ‘n’ roll,” White Water Tavern is throwing a Soul Music Dance Party for Otis Redding’s birthday. The night will include archival footage of Redding along with the soul legend’s music, all compiled by Little Rock musician Seth Baldy. The birthday party begins at 9 p.m.
Here’s Redding, singing “Try A Little Tenderness” in Europe in 1967:
