Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires.

Giving you the music a day early:

Those opening piano chords in “Trouble Won’t Last Always” from Tennessee-based Glossary‘s October 2011 album Long Live All Of Us tells you quickly the 12-track record is going to be a rollicking good time filled with boogie R&B, horn-filled soul and pedal steel-laced country. And it’s all Southern-blessed rock ‘n’ roll the band delivers on record and live, including at a White Water Tavern show. Also on the bill will be dirty Alabama rock ‘n’ roll act Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires and folk punk singer/songwriter Austin Lucas. The music starts at 9 p.m.

The last few years have been kind to the First Lady of Rockabilly: Wanda Jackson. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009 and then her home of Oklahoma City named a street after her. Jackson is a rock ‘n’ roll legend, the queen of rock who scored a Top 40 hit with “Let’s Have a Party” in 1960 and later had a string of country hits. But during the last few years her career and her influence have undergone a revival, playing U.S. and European festivals and recording a new album, The Party Ain’t Over, with Jack White that includes a rollicking cover of Bob Dylan’s “Thunder on the Mountain.” Jackson pays a visit to Rev Room. It’s an all-ages show with the music starting at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 day of show.

“Lips of an Angel” is the 2006 smash that Oklahoma post-grunge band Hinder is known for by the masses. But fans of the band know that power ballad is just the tip of the band’s sound. There is also the glamlike “All American Nightmare” (the title track of the band’s 2010 album) and other hard-hitting rock anthems such as “Use Me.” Joining Hinder for a Juanita’s show presented by 100.3 The Edge will be two California rock bands: Trapt and The Dreaming. The doors open at 9 p.m. with the music starting at 10 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 day of show.

Here are Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires with their “Everything You Took”:

Reptar.

Giving you the music a day early:

Athens, Ga., is well-known as fertile music ground, and Reptar is the latest Athens band making a name for itself with their dance-y, groove-oriented indie pop. Fresh off a fall tour with Foster the People and Cults, the band is also preparing for the release of their debut album Body Faucet on May 1. It’s an 18-and-up show at Stickyz with the music starting at 9 p.m. with a $10 cover.

The This Is American Music/Captains Dead Kickoff Party is the first day of the music part of SXSW, but the night before Tennessee bleeding heart rock ‘n’ roll band Glossary is playing White Water Tavern. Joining them will be Ohio outfit Two Cow Garage, a rough-hewn rock ‘n’ roll with punk overtones outfit, who will play three SXSW showcases during the week. The music starts at 9:30 p.m.

Before heading down to Austin, Texas, for an appearance at South by Southwest, sludge-y metal, North Little Rock band Rwake plays a show at Downtown Music. The band released their newest album Rest on Relapse Records late last year, and it was a record featuring tunes such as the 12-minute long “It Was Beautiful, But Now It’s Sour,” a doom-in-slow-motion track that contains a little Southern rock guitar work. Pitchfork called it “ingenious, forward-thinking metal.” Joining Rwake will be Chicago black metal band Nachtmystium, Atlanta psychedelic doom metal trio Zoroaster, Chicago sludge metal act The Atlas Moth and Little Rock sludge outfit Snakedriver. The music starts at 8 p.m. with a $10 cover.

Here’s Reptar with their “Rainbounce”:

The Drowning Men.

Giving you the music a day early:

California indie rock quintet The Drowning Men released their debut album The Beading of the Songbird last month. So what does it sound like? Big, important music like Arcade Fire but with a touch of punk-influenced folk rock and roots music. And yes, there’s a hint of Eastern European ethnic folk and sea shanties. After surviving a drunk driver crashing into their van and trailer in New York City a couple of weeks ago (the band was unharmed), The Drowning Men comes to Stickyz. The opening act is U.K. rock act Yellowire, kicking off the music at 9 p.m. with their . Cover is $7 for the 18-and-up show.

100.3 The Edge is sponsoring (so is Sync, too.) a Toys for Tots Party at Rev Room featuring Kingsdown, a Little Rock group known for their high-powered alternative rock. It’s the third annual Toys for Tots affair at Rev Room, and the show begins at 8:30 p.m. with Magnolia alternative rock act belair. followed by LIttle Rock rock ‘n’ roll group Free Micah. Doors open at 7 p.m. Admission is only $5 if guests bring a new, unwrapped toy to the show, or $8 if you don’t care if needy children get a present or not. People unable to attend the show may bring a toy by the Rev Room either Thursday or Friday before the show. It’s an all-ages show.

For more than 30 years, Toy Hill has helped gather toys for Toys for Tots, a charity program from the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve that donates new toys to children whose parents can’t afford Christmas presents. And so it does again this year as KSSN 96 and on-air personality and legend Bob Robbins return with Toys For Tots 2011 at Toy Hill at War Memorial Park through 5 p.m. Sunday. Bring new, unopened toys to the drop off at War Memorial Park and also take part in the festivities live music from three Arkansas country acts Saturday in Victoria Taylor, Ryan Couron and Luke Williams Band. You can also drop toys off at USA Drug stores and AT&T locations in central Arkansas, or Jester’s Tattoo in Cabot, Black Angus Steakhouse in Little Rock or the Clear Channel Studios.

The world needs more just straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll. It’s just a fact. And so Little Rock record label Last Chance Records is delivering two nights of it Friday and Saturday with Slobberbone, Two Cow Garage and Glossary at White Water Tavern. Tickets are $12.50 per a night or $20 for both nights. The music starts at 9 p.m. each night. Ohio outfit Two Cow Garage is rough-hewn rock ‘n’ roll with punk overtones; Slobberbone is white-knuckled, freewheeling, catchy alt country; and Glossary is known for their bleeding heart rock ‘n’ roll tunes torched by country and R&B. Saturday night, the three bands will team up for a “This Is American Music” style revue show with band members rotating on and off stage playing each other’s songs and covers, and delivering surprises.

Here’s The Drowning Men with their “More Than This”:

Mountain Sprout.

Giving you the music a day early:

Mountain Sprout is one of those bands making a name for itself through its live shows and for good reason. The four guys from the Arkansas band describe their band as a “highly energetic hillbilly music machine, spitting original tunes and blowing minds with witty lyrics and face-melting musicianship.” Live, the band is on fire, spitting out white-hot slices of music that’s probably best titled insurgent Americana with equal parts psychobilly and hillbilly, and a touch of class with bluegrass. So it’s that sound Mountain Sprout bring to Stickyz. The opening act is to be announced, but expect the music at 9 p.m. with cover $6 for the 21-and-up show.

For more than 30 years, Toy Hill has helped gather toys for Toys for Tots, a charity program from the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve that donates new toys to children whose parents can’t afford Christmas presents. And so it does again this year as KSSN 96 and on-air personality and legend Bob Robbins return with Toys For Tots 2011 at Toy Hill at War Memorial Park starting at 5 p.m. Friday and going right through to 5 p.m. Sunday. Bring new, unopened toys to the drop off at War Memorial Park and also take part in the festivities, including the third annual Fire & EMS Toy Run with parades, and live music from three Arkansas country acts Saturday in Victoria Taylor, Ryan Couron and Luke Williams Band. You can also drop toys off at USA Drug stores and AT&T locations in central Arkansas, or Jester’s Tattoo in Cabot, Black Angus Steakhouse in Little Rock or the Clear Channel Studios.

The world needs more just straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll. It’s just a fact. And so Little Rock record label Last Chance Records is delivering two nights of it Friday and Saturday with Slobberbone, Two Cow Garage and Glossary at White Water Tavern. Tickets are $12.50 per a night or $20 for both nights. The music starts at 9 p.m. each night. Ohio outfit Two Cow Garage is rough-hewn rock ‘n’ roll with punk overtones; Slobberbone is white-knuckled, freewheeling, catchy alt country; and Glossary is known for their bleeding heart rock ‘n’ roll tunes torched by country and R&B. On Friday night all three bands will play individual sets, and on Saturday night the three bands will team up for a “This Is American Music” style revue show with band members rotating on and off stage playing each other’s songs and covers, and delivering surprises.

Bohemian Sauce is the name that Henderson State University professor Marck Beggs gives to his work away from his folk-rock band dog gods, and it’s Bohemian Sauce that will make an appearance at Reno’s Argenta Cafe. The music starts at 10 p.m. with a $5 cover. Of course, Beggs is more than a professor and songwriter; he’s also a published poet with a number of poetry books out, a Ph.D. holder in English and a cat whisperer. Yes, you read that right. One has to believe that all of that somehow finds its way into the music of Beggs and Bohemian Sauce.

A couple of months after holding the release party for their extended play EPic at Cornerstone Pub, Se7en Sharp returns to the Argenta club for a night of music benefiting the Boys & Girls Club. Se7en Sharp is an act known for their modern rock sound with tunes such as “Let It Go” and “Bone Against the Knife,” but the band also has the country rock of “Give Me a Chance.” There’s no cover charge, but music lovers are asked to bring three canned goods, a gently worn coat, a new toy or a $7 donation. All proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club, and Se7en Sharp will donate $1 from every purchase of merchandise. Santa will be on hand, and door prizes will be given away as well. The show is a 21-and-up affair with the music starting around 8 p.m.

A musical tour of Brazil is coming to North Little Rock for one night with a visit from Nilson Matta & the Brazilian Voyage at Argenta Community Theater. Tickets are $35 with the show starting at 7 p.m. Matta is a bassist who has played with a number of American and global musicians, and is joined by flutist Anne Drummond and guitarist Vic Juris. The music of Nilson Matta & the Brazilian Voyage explores the music of each of Brazil’s distinct regions and their music, which blends the early blues roots of jazz with the tropical swing of Brazil.

Rev Room‘s monthly Zodiac dance party returns with Sagittarius edition, featuring the music of Wakarusa Music Festival favorite Zoogma, a Mississippi quintet that plays music that combines a fully operational rock band with the sonic colors of a DJed electronica band in creating their candy-coated and light-show enhanced take on electronica, rock, jazz and world music with a show built on improvisation. Oh, and there is an amazing light show, too. The opening act is to be announced, but expect the music at 9 p.m. with a $10 cover for the 18-and-up show. The first 50 people to arrive who were born under the Sagittarius zodiac sign get in free with proper ID.

Kopecky Family Band.

Giving you the music a day early:

The upcoming South by Southwest 2011 in Austin, Texas, is attracting a number of bands, and fortunately some of these bands are stopping in Little Rock as a warm-up to their Texas gigs. One of those bands is Nashville, Tenn.’s Kopecky Family Band, a six-piece outfit visiting Stickyz for a night of their indie rock incorporating cello and violin. The opening act is to be announced, but the music starts at 8:30 p.m. Cover is $8 for the 21-and-up show.

Glossary, the Tennessee-based outfit known for their bleeding heart rock ‘n’ roll tunes torched by country and R&B, released their sixth full-length album Feral Fire last year. And the band is still on the road promoting it, including a stop at White Water Tavern. The doors open at 7 p.m. with the music at 8 p.m. Also on the bill is The Small Ponds, the duo of former Whiskeytown member Caitlin Cary and Matt Douglas, a former member of pop ensemble The Proclivities. The pair play “wide-ranging, emotionally packed” tunes with “clearheaded, clear-spoken lyrics; precise, knowing arrangements.” New York State alt-country outfit My Cousin The Emperor round out the bill.

Memphis native Zach Myers manages a band and plays guitar in two others, one of whom happens to be Florida hard rock quartet Shinedown, an outfit known for hard rock tunes, and mainstream and alternative rock radio hits such as “The Crow & the Butterfly” and “Second Chance.” But it’s a solo-guitar playing Myers who visits Juanita’s on his Soullow Tour that includes Chris Allen of Memphis alternative rockers Ingram Hill. The doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the music at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Local support will be from Cabot rock ‘n’ roller And Then There Was Bear (Brandon “Bear” Alanis), Vilonia Southern metal act BodyDrop and Russellville’s Afternoon Delight, a band that plays heavy, blues-soaked hard rock.

Glossary.

Giving you the music a day early:

White Water Tavern will be home to two nights of the best in American music as Last Chance Records presents Glossary, Slobberbone, Two Cow Garage and Kevin Kerby each playing a full set of music each night. Tickets are available at lastchancerecords.com for $12 and will be available at the door if any remain at show time. Glossary is Tennessee-based outfit known for their bleeding heart rock ‘n’ roll that leaves blood on the knobs with tunes torched by country and R&B. Two Cow Garage is known for their rough-hewed rock ‘n’ roll that mixes a rowdy, classic rock sound with alt country and punk, and Slobberbone is known for their white-knuckled, freewheeling, catchy rock ‘n’ roll with roots reaching into country. Kevin Kerby is a Little Rock rock ‘n’ roller.

Presented by 100.3 The Edge, Saliva returns to Little Rock with a show at Juanita’s. Expect mainstream rock hits such as “Family Reunion,” “Your Disease,” “Always” and others, as well as new tunes from the group’s upcoming 2011 release. The Memphis, Tenn.-based post-grunge rockers will be joined by Tennessee hard rockers Star City Meltdown and Illinois heavy rock group Seven Day Sonnet. Tickets are $16.

Local rock ‘n’ roll outfit Kingsdown presents the first annual Kingsdown Toys for Tots Christmas Party at Revolution Music Room. The doors open at 7 p.m. with the music at 8:30 p.m. for the all-ages show. Tickets are $7 for over 21, and $10 for 20 and under. Discounted tickets will be available to those bringing a new toy to Rev Room. The night also includes local bands EKG, an energetic mix of pop, rock and rap; ILIA, an all-girl faith-based hard rock group from Pine Bluff; and A Good Fight, a Fayetteville act that performs melodic pop rock. Kingsdown is still promoting their self-titled debut album, with the band’s lead singer Dwain Roark just returning from 10 days in Europe to help promote the new CD.

Johnny Cooper.

Giving you the music a day early:

Johnny Cooper is a Texas musician that combines soul, blues, rock and pop into his musical mix, going a little beyond the confines of Red Dirt country. After opening for Brantley Gilbert at a summer Revolution Music Room show, Cooper returns to Little Rock, headlining a show at Sticky Fingerz. The opening act is the Culpepper Mountain Band, kicking off the music at 9:30 p.m. with their country rock influenced by Merle Haggard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Red Dirt country acts such as Cross Canadian Ragweed and country outlaws such as Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Tickets for the 21-and-up show are $7.

The band that could have brought Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston back together in The Break-Up is coming to Little Rock as the Old 97′s play at Revolution Music Room. The opening act is Fort Worth, Texas, folk rockers Whiskey Folk Ramblers, kicking off the 18-and-up show at 9 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for $16 in advance, and cover day of show will be $18. Of course, music fans realize the Old 97′s are famous because the Dallas-based band is a legendary alt-country outfit with an electrifying presence on stage. Or, as Rev co-owner Chris King says, “The alt-country landscape of the past 20 years was defined by bands such as [the] Old 97′s … with Old 97′s being the poppiest of the bunch.” The quartet’s newest album is The Grand Theatre Volume One.

Although they formed early in the 21st century, it wasn’t until “Angels on the Moon” started climbing the charts in 2008 that California alternative rock band Thriving Ivory was introduced to the masses through their re-released, self-titled debut album. The tune ended up cracking the Top 100 of the Billboard charts, and Thriving Ivory started playing to bigger crowds. Two years later, the band is on the road again, this time in support of their sophomore release Through Yourself & Back Again. Thriving Ivory visits Juanita’s, and the all-ages show starts at 9 p.m. with tickets $12.50 in advance or $15 day of show.

Vino’s presents a quartet of local acts, including Malvern hardcore metal band Veridium, Little Rock experimental rock band Hourglass, Jacksonville modern rock outfit Blind Mary (formerly known as Paradigm) and Livid, a Benton band whose heavy rock borders on heavy metal. The music starts at 8 p.m. with cover $7.

Dan Tyminski.

Giving you the music a day early:

Bluegrass singer, guitarist and mandolin player Dan Tyminski has been a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station since 1994, providing his strong instrumental work and soulful tenor. But in 2008, with Krauss off with former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, he formed the Dan Tyminski Band to keep the bluegrass flame burning. And it’s Tyminski that visits Juanita’s for a night of bluegrass. Nashville, Tenn., singer/songwriter Ronnie Bowman, a man who writes hit songs for country superstars such as Kenny Chesney while recording his own music, is the opener, with the music starting at 8 p.m. with tickets $20 in advance and $25 at the door for the 18-and-up show. Bowman is also a former member of The Lonesome River Band, the band Tyminski belonged to before Union Station. Of course, Tyminski is also responsible for updating “Man of Constant Sorrow” for the Coen brothers’ film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a tune that won a Grammy Award for best Country Collaboration with Vocal.

Riverfest was the reason behind the two-man blues wrecking crew of Cedric Burnside and Lightnin’ Malcolm last coming to Little Rock in May. Following their festival appearance, the duo rocked White Water Tavern with their primal, juke-joint blues with traces of funk and rock. The juke joint duo return to White Water. Expect the duo’s modern take on the North Mississippi hill country blues, a rhythmic shake of country blues with the electrified boogie of hill blues, shaking it on down with hypnotic, hip-shaking beats. No word on the start time, but it should be late enough for Hog fans to celebrate their win over Louisiana-Monroe at War Memorial Stadium.

Memphis-based but Arkansas-loved rockers Lucero are returning to Little Rock with a show at The Village. Fronted by Arkansas native Ben Nichols, Lucero is known for their brand of punk-infused country and rock ‘n’ roll tattooed tunes of girls, guitars, love and drinking. The band released their latest album, 1372 Overton Park, on Universal Republic in October 2009. General admission tickets are on sale now for $18 in advance or $22 day of show. Joining the band will be Glossary, a fellow Tennessee-based outfit known for their bleeding heart rock ‘n’ roll that leaves blood on the knobs with tunes torched by country and R&B. The band’s newest album is Feral Fire.

Here’s the latest update from the mysterious musician known as Little Rockin Rikki “D.” Rikki “D” will make his second trip into the Little Rock area with a show at the Town Pump. Or as Rikki “D”‘s e-mail said: “Rikki ‘D’ and his hard-charging band is set to rock your soul.” Joining Rikki will be Rikki Jr. on saxophone and keyboards, Clint Marl on drums, and Dynasty on bass and congas. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. with a $5 cover.

Pinnacle Mountain State Park presents its Pinnacle of Music Festival from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. with four performers during the day: Needle St., a blues rock band consisting of a group of friends who played together back in the ’60s and ’70s, and recently reformed; acclaimed Arkansas blues guitarist Michael “Ironman” Burks; Gerald Johnson, a KABF DJ and musician who fronts a band that plays blues and jazz to reggae and R&B; and Rodney Block, a trumpeter known for an unique blend of traditional jazz, gospel, hip hop, bebop, funk and soul. Admission is $10 per person with free parking. Chairs, blankets and coolers are welcome.

White Water's Friday Night. Design by Isaac Alexander.

Giving you the music a day early:

White Water Tavern welcomes two musical heavyweights from Tennessee and Alabama, respectively. In the Tennessee corner is Glossary, a Murfreesboro bleeding heart rock ‘n’ roll outfit who leave blood on the knobs with their tunes torched by country and R&B. The band’s newest album is Feral Fire, out Feb. 2, while the group’s 2007 release, The Better Angels Of Our Nature, is now available for purchase as a limited-edition vinyl LP through Little Rock-based Last Chance Music. In the opposing corner is Vulture Whale, a Birmingham, Ala., quartet that creates gritty rock ‘n’ roll from the Heart of Dixie powered by a raw, two-guitar attack but hides sugary sweet pop melodies up their sleeve. The music starts at 10 p.m. with a $6 cover.

Town Pump — the Riverdale dive bar institution — is under new ownership and has added live music to its lineup of cheap beer and mouthwatering hamburgers, including a visit from that color-coated, instrumental experimental rock trio Echo Canyon. The music kicks off at 9:30 p.m. with a $5 cover, and includes Conway band This Holy House with their pop-influenced folk rock. Echo Canyon — Scott Southern on drums, Matt Gore on guitar and Trey Burns on bass — is promising to debut new material along with old tunes that stretch across the musical landscape, dabbling in rock, reggae, funk, blues and jazz territory to create earthy, atmospheric, time-changing grooves.

Cybertribe and The Village welcome Philadelphia born, but New York City residing DJ AC Slater, an electronic artist who started off as a hardcore and freeform DJ before transitioning into house music and being commissioned to remix artists such as Moby and Drop the Line. Currently signed to the Brooklyn-based Trouble & Bass label, Slater’s recently started the label Party Like Us. Appearing with Slater at The Village will be Sleepy Genius, Shawn Lee and Paul Grass. The doors open at 8 p.m. with the music starting at 8:30 p.m. with general admission tickets $10 advance and $15 at the door.

Martina McBride has hit the top of the country charts five times, with singles such as “I Love You” and “Wrong Again,” and earned multiple awards from the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association. Trace Adkins‘ No. 1 country hits include “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing,” “Ladies Love Country Boys” and “You’re Gonna Miss This,” and he claimed the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Male Vocalist award in 1996. Now, the two country stars are teaming up for the Shine All Night Tour, visiting Verizon Arena. Tickets are available at the Verizon Arena Box Office for $35.75, $49.75 and $59.75 with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. with a 7:30 p.m. showtime. McBride’s new album is the March 2009 release Shine, 10 tunes combining country with pop hooks and rock guitars, including the Def Leppard guitars of the title track.

Satellite Cafe is back to offering free, weekly music, and the Winston Family Orchestra — the keyboard, bass and drum trio of Liz Carroll, Sulac and Kristen Goodwin — will play at 9 p.m. Expect the group to perform short, quirky garage-pop music punctuated with keyboard, high hat and snare rhythms, and lyrics such as “I put some butter on your roll” (from the frantic “Wash Your Hands”).

Here’s a shot of Glossary, performing their atmospheric rock ‘n’ roll tale “Gasoline Soaked Heart”:
