Giving you the music a day early:
Cursive and The Good Life frontman Tim Kasher is on a short solo tour, playing tunes from his solo debut, the October 2010 release The Game of Monogamy, that mixed indie rock with baroque pop, and the tour brings Kasher to Stickyz. Kasher will also be selling an exclusive EP, Bigamy: More Songs From The Monogamy Sessions, at the tour stops. The new tunes include the slow rocker “No Harmony” and the power pop of “A Bluer Sea.” The opening act is Aficionado, a New York State post-punk group that just released their debut album, kicking off the music at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 day of for the 21-and-up show.
The middle of the Labor Day weekend means it is time for the 2011 version of Reggae on the Riverfront at the North Shore Riverwalk in North Little Rock. The doors open at 2 p.m. with the music starting at 3 p.m. and going on until 11 p.m. Tickets are $20 with proceeds benefiting Argenta CDC, Pulaski County Learning Center and Young Community Advocates of Baring Cross. The bands include an good-vibes generating mix of reggae acts, including Zion And The Lion Roots Band, Tricia Reed, Mariachi America, Changus B, Joseph Israel and the Jerusalem Band, and other special guests. The second annual reggae showcase is presented by One Love.
So maybe Magic Springs Water and Theme Park‘s Pepsi Concert Series isn’t quite over, at least not until Southern rock veterans 38 Special say it is by playing the series. The concert gates open at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. at Timberwood Amphitheater. Hot Springs classic rock cover band Blind Opie — consisting of Henderson State University faculty and grads — will begin playing at 4 p.m. in the Hideaway. General main gate admission is $44.99, and half-priced admission is available after 4 p.m. for $22.50. 38 Special is known for their ’80s hits “Hold on Loosely,” “Caught Up in You” and “Second Chance.”
