Turnpike Troubadours.

Giving you the music a day early:

Here’s a little-known fact: Outside of the city of Tahlequah, Okla., is a public use area titled No Head Hollow Public Use Area. No lie. The city is also the capital of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. Now, why are we discussing Tahlequah here? It’s the hometown of Turnpike Troubadours, a quintet of roots-rock playing musicians. This isn’t Red Dirt country like many bands from Oklahoma, but music that throws in a little bit of everything, including folk, Cajun and bluegrass. Turnpike Troubadours revisit Little Rock for a show at Stickyz. The John D. Hale Band kicks off the show with their alternative country sound that blends country, Americana, Southern rock and even bluegrass, and expect the music at 9 p.m. with a $10 cover for the 18-and-up show.

That rhythmically tight, fast-paced rock trio known as The Tricks will play Town Pump. The show starts at 10 p.m. with a $3 cover. Also on the bill is 607 — and you know 607, don’t you? Only one of the best rappers/hip-hop artists/musicians around the area. The Tricks and 607 will share the stage so for $3 this might be the best $3 you can spend. Look for a CD release party from The Tricks on July 5 at White Water Tavern.

Conway hard rock outfit Bombay Black released their new album Bullets And Booze back in May, and now the melodic rock band is holding a CD release party at Shooter’s Bar & Grill. It’s a rowdy and raunchy album filled with rock solid … well, modern rock. Cover is $5 with the music starting at 9 p.m. It’s a 21-and-up event. If you can’t make it to Shooter’s, catch the band a night earlier when they play Cregeen’s Irish Pub on Friday night. The music starts around 8:30 p.m

Interstate Buffalo‘s full-length debut One Step Away is blues rock. Really, really, really good blues rock. Blues rock with nasty guitar riffs, and even some funky grooves. The album’s kickoff is “Down in a Bad Way,” a tune that possesses a steamroller of a riff. “Camera” is a stone-cold funk groove. And there’s more great stuff on the album. Interstate Buffalo will celebrate the release of its One Step Away with a CD release party at The Afterthought. The music will begin at 9 p.m. with a $7 cover.

Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition.

Giving you the music a day early:

Catfish music for the masses. Let’s consider the phrase that Jimbo Mathus uses in describing the music that he creates as Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition. The music is the song of the South, an unruly blast of blues, country, honky tonk and rock ‘n’ roll with a hint of gospel, which means catfish music will raise hell on Saturday night and quietly bow its head Sunday morning. But don’t forget there is a little bit of New Orleans funk, Ozarks folk and gritty Memphis soul in there, too. The band is readying for the release of their Blue Light EP on July 20 and hitting White Water Tavern. The music starts at 10 p.m. with a $10 cover.

There are acoustic open nights, and jam nights, and Monday jazz nights, and Sunday jazz brunches, and science cafes, and all manner of events at The Afterthought. And then there are visits from Good Time Ramblers, the Little Rock band known for their rock-fueled country sprinkled with Texas swing, blues, folk and rock ‘n’ roll influences. It’s good-timing music for the masses. The music starts at 9 p.m., and cover is $7.

Tiger High.

Giving you the music a day early:

These guys in Memphis-based Tiger High have quite the musical pedigree. Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jake Vest was in Jack Oblivian and The Trashed Romeos, and drummer Greg Roberson was in Reigning Sound, Arthur Lee’s Love, The Trashed Romeos, Jack Oblivian and Compulsive Gamblers. The duo are joined by two of Vest’s longtime musical partners: brother Toby Vest and Greg Faison, and the quartet create infectious garage rock with power pop melodies that you can dance to on their Myth Is This album. Joining Tiger High for a White Water Tavern show will be the full-on dance rock/punk assault of Little Rock’s Booyah! Dad and the burlesque show of Hot Springs’ Foul Play Cabaret. The night gets going at 9:30 p.m.

Jack White’s new album hit No. 1 on iTunes’ all-genres album chart. What was the No. 2 album behind it for a while? The independent release Small Town Family Dream from Texas country — with a touch of Red Dirt — group Josh Abbott Band. The band’s new album also hit No. 5 on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums Chart. Abbott and band are coming to Rev Room. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door with the music starting at 9 p.m. with opening act Rob Baird and his Americana/country hybrid music found on his new album I Swear It’s the Truth. It’s an all-ages show.

North Little Rock cigar-box luthier and hill country blues master Bluesboy Jag is busy this weekend. Thursday night he and band — harmonica player and vocalist Jawbone Kenyon, drummer Joe Roitz and bassist Bass Joe — play The Afterthought at 8 p.m. There’s no cover. Friday night the band plays Cornerstone Pub at 8 p.m., and Saturday the band plays Levy United Methodist Church for an Amboy Community Food Pantry benefit beginning at 2 p.m.

Jason D. Williams.

Giving you the music a day early:

It’s Cinco de Mayo and Denton’s Back Porch is celebrating in style with a Cinco de Mayo party presented by 100.3 The Buzz and featuring Jason D. Williams. Williams is best called the Jerry Lee Lewis of the 21st century with his reckless rock ‘n’ roll piano pounding that encompasses musical genres stretching from rockabilly to country to jazz to pure-bred Memphis rock. Or, as Williams himself says, “It’s Jerry Lee Lewis meets Jackson Pollock, and Jerry Lee Lewis meets Joe Namath.” Who knows what that means. Let’s just say this: Fans of live-wire, Sun Records rock ‘n’ roll will not be disappointed. Williams is a showman of the highest degree. Tickets are $20.

Rodney Block & the Real Music Lovers are throwing a Cinco de Mayo celebration at The Afterthought that is also serving as a birthday party for band member Oliver “O.T.” Thomas. The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $10 cover. Block and band will run through a collection of jazz, neo-soul and R&B tunes with help from songstress Dee Davis and other guests. Seats are limited so arrive early for the celebration.

Get down to downtown Conway for two more days of family fun, food, sporting events, arts and crafts, magicians and more, including two days and nights of free, live music as Toad Suck Daze continues. Saturday’s music kicks off at 11:30 a.m. and includes a lineup of local — Luke Williams and Ryan Couron — and national country acts, including Randy Houser at 8:15 p.m. and Jamey Johnson at 9:30 p.m. Sunday’s music kicks off at noon and includes Magnolia, faith-inspired alternative rockers belair. at 1:15 p.m., and inspirational singers Jonny Diaz and Todd Agnew. And a reminder: The music is totally free.

Here’s Jason D. Williams with his “I’m On Fire”:

The Wonder Years

Giving you the music a day early:

Ah, The Wonder Years what a great sitcom. Kevin. Winnie. Wayne. Paul. But none of that gang is showing up at Downtown Music. No, this The Wonder Years is a Philadelphia pop punk sextet that is still touring in support of last June’s release Suburbia: I’ve Given You All and Now I’m Nothing. It’s the band’s Glamour Kills Tour that brings them to Downtown Music along with New York hard-hitting punk rockers Polar Bear Club, Massachusetts post-hardcore act Transit, Boston rock band A Loss For Words and California pop punk outfit The Story So Far. The doors open at 6 p.m. with the music starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $13 in advance and $15 day of show.

How heavy do things get in Blevins? Pretty heavy if Every Knee Shall Bow is to be believed. The five guys are true fans of metal, playing bone-crushing music with traces of thrash and metalcore influenced by groups such as Bay Area metal pioneers Exodus and Testament; newer, Christian metal bands such as War Of Ages, Impending Doom and Underoath; and Little Rock seminal Christian metal band Living Sacrifice. Joining Every Knee Shall Bow for a Vino’s show will be Bossier City, La., metal band Ballet, Memphis metal group Cult of the Flag, and Legions Await, a death/thrash metal band from Little Rock. Cover is $8 for the all-ages show with the doors opening at 8 p.m.

Green River Ordinance sounds like some kind of legislative action by a municipality. (And it actually is a common city law that prohibits door-to-door sales.) But what Green River Ordinance actually is in this case is a Ft. Worth, Texas, five-piece band that has been around for more than 10 years, playing their alternative pop rock with a slightly Southern twist. The band’s newest album is the February release Under Fire, and the quintet is touring in support of it, including a stop at Rev Room. The opening act is Graham Colton, kicking off the music at 9 p.m. with his Oklahoma-bred indie music. It’s an all-ages show with tickets $12 in advance and $14 day of show.

The Afterthought provides a night of two local singer/songwriters. First up is Adam Hambrick, a Conway-bred singer/songwriter who has been working on songs in Nashville, Tenn., and recording in Los Angeles recently. Hambrick writes pop-flavored acoustic rock ‘n’ roll gems with infectious melodies. Joining Hambrick will be Treva Blomquist, who moved to Conway from Nashville, Tenn., about three years ago and has just released her third album titled These Fading Things. It’s an album showcasing her folk-y Americana music with a little touch of soul. The music starts at 8 p.m. with a $7 cover.

Robert Earl Keen.

Giving you the music a day early:

You know Robert Earl Keen. Yep, he’s that great Texas folk singer/songwriter. So good he was recently inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association’s Hall of Fame. Since 1984′s No Kinda Dancer, Keen has released killer album after killer album, usually filled with his version of Texas folk that includes nods at country and rock. A masterful storyteller, Keen comes to Rev Room, playing tunes from his newest album, 2011′s Ready for Confetti, and other tunes from his past. Keen hasn’t slowed down after more than 30 years of playing live, and his show is an energetic romp through the music that made the man. The music starts at 9 p.m. with tickets $20 in advance and $25 day of for the 18-and-up show. No word on an opening act.

Next Friday, North Carolina alt country-flavored rock ‘n’ roll band American Aquarium will play a show at Ziggy’s in Winston-Salem, N.C., with Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit. So what’s the importance of that? Well, Isbell is the man who recorded American Aquarium’s Burn.Flicker.Die, and the album will be out later this fall. The band will follow the Friday the 13th show with a string of East Coast dates and then an European tour. But before all that, American Aquarium songwriter and band leader BJ Barham is playing White Water Tavern. Solo. Which means all those great barn-burning tunes that are equal part country heartbreak and rock muscle will be presented. The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $5 cover.

I saw Bluesboy Jag a few weeks ago on a Friday evening at Dogtown Coffee and Cookery. He was running through his one-man blues. It was darn good. Foot-tapping good. The kind of blues one just loves. That’s probably why the North Little Rock cigar box luthier is a several-times-over winner of regional blues contests and an International Blues Challenge competitor. It’s First Thursday in Hillcrest, and Jag is bringing his blues to The Afterthought, wrapping up the outdoor party and kicking off the night with a show that begins at 8 p.m. Joining him will be blues harmonica player Jawbone Kenyon.

Of course, the Arkansas Literary Festival starts next weekend. Here’s sort of a preamble: Tavis Smiley comes to Philander Smith College‘s M.L. Harris Auditorium as part of the college’s Bless the Mic speaker series. No tickets or reservations are required. Just show up and listen to Smiley when the program starts at 7 p.m. Smiley is one of those 21st century renaissance men: broadcaster, author, publisher, advocate and philanthropist. He’s president and CEO of The Smiley Group Inc., and host of the late-night TV talk show Tavis Smiley on PBS and The Tavis Smiley Show from Public Radio International. He also hooks up with his friend Cornel West, and the two co-host Smiley and West, which kind of sounds like a buddy cop sitcom but is actually a lively, intellectual PRI radio program.

Thank God baseball is here! It’s opening night (and weekend) for the Arkansas Travelers at Dickey-Stephens Park as they battle fellow Texas League opponent the Midland Rockhounds during a three-game series. First pitch is at approximately 7:10 p.m., and tickets are $6 to $12 for adults, and $4 and $5 for children. Friday’s game is at 7:10 p.m., too, and Saturday’s game is at 6 p.m. And Sunday through Tuesday there is a three-game series against the Frisco Roughriders at Dickey-Stephens. For Sunday’s game there will be an Easter Extravaganza presented by Church at Rock Creek with a pregame Easter egg hunt in Kids Korner play area beginning at 3:30 p.m. Sunday’s game time is 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday’s games both start at 7:10 p.m. Long live baseball!

Cody Canada & The Departed.

Giving you the music a day early:

Former Cross Canadian Ragweed frontman Cody Canada released his first album outside of Ragweed back in June 2011. Titled This Is Indian Land, the new work is not only a collection of tunes by various Oklahoma songwriters who over the years have influenced Canada, but also the first tracks with his new group, Cody Canada and The Departed. And it’s Cody Canada & The Departed who are coming to Rev Room, bringing their music which is very much in the Red Dirt vein such as Ragweed but with more of a rock ‘n’ roll punch. No word on an opening act, but the music starts at 9 p.m. with tickets $10 in advance and $15 day of for the 18-and-up show.

The Wakarusa Music Festival is coming back to Ozark in late May and early June for four days of music. Thousands of fans will attend. Hundreds of bands will play the festival, and one of those bands will be either War Chief, Ben Franks & The Bible Belt Boys, Starroy, Culpepper Mountain Band or Chillyrose. The five bands are playing Stickyz as part of the Waka Winter Classic, with the band receiving the most votes from the audience being selected. Cover is $5 and each patron will receive a ticket for voting on their favorite band at any time during the night. The music will begin at 9 p.m. with War Chief’s set, and each band will play for approximately 40 minutes with a new band at the top of the hour. And the music? Well, come and check it out, but it’s everything from jamband to funk to Southern rock to folk to gospel … well, you get the picture: good music.

The Harlem Globetrotters are the only basketball team that can out NBA the NBA. And what we mean by that is the famous traveling basketball team is not only talented and competitive, but also the flashiest squad of basketball players since the legendary original Dream Team. Basketball is more entertainment than sport, and the Globetrotters know how to dazzle crowds with their electrifying ball handling, ball spinning and dunking. The Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Verizon Arena. The doors open at 6 p.m. with the game beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the Verizon Arena Box Office for $21.75, $30.75, $33.75, $38.75, $71.75 and $108.75, or through all Ticketmaster outlets with all those nasty little Ticketmaster fees added. Groups of 10 or more receive up to $8 off each ticket in select seating areas. Special discounts are available for Scout groups and military personnel.

It’s not strictly jazz that Rodney Block & the Real Music Lovers play, and that’s why they are one of the best bands around. Jazz is cool, and jazz is great, but Block and the boys throw in a little R&B, soul, funk and even hip-hop into their jazz. Check out Rodney Block & the Real Music Lovers as they present a night of music titled The Return of Jazz at The Afterthought. The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $10. Several guest artists are also being promised.

John Paul Keith and The One Four Fives.

Giving you the music a day early:

It’s the return of John Paul Keith and The One Four Fives to White Water Tavern: Keith with his Memphis-bred rock ‘n’ roll backed by drummer John Argroves, bassist Mark Stuart and keyboard player Al Gamble. Gather around for a night of power pop, garage, rockabilly, Tex-Mex, country and blues rock all rolled into the explosive musical blast that is Keith’s music. Keith’s sophomore record is The Man That Time Forgot, released last year on Big Legal Mess via Fat Possum Records. The music starts at 10 p.m. with Kentucky Knife Fight, a St. Louis band that is twang-y and dirty with their collection of bluegrass, blues, rock and punk.

Most music fans probably don’t remember The Bellamy Brothers’ “Country Rap.” The country music duo probably likes it that way because the eponymous single from their 1986 album was terrible. Fortunately, Colt Ford does country rap right — not as a novelty but as mostly country music tunes about country living with a tough of rap. Ford comes to Shooter’s Sports Bar and Grill, and the music starts at 9 p.m. with tickets $20 in advance and $25 day of for the 21-and-up show. Ford’s latest album is the 2011 release Every Chance I Get, which included guest appearances by Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, Charlie Daniels, Eric Church (on the hit “Country Thang”) and even the Nappy Roots.

Little Rock’s own jamming, rock ‘n’ roll extraordinaires Weakness for Blondes chase spontaneous creativity, going down several rabbit holes, scampering after blues rock, jazz and soul with a touch of psychedelic and funk to brew their infectious sound. The band, influenced by the Grateful Dead, The Band, blues, jazz, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis comes to The Afterthought. The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $7 cover. Every show is different with these guys, and it’s always a good time. And you can dance to it.

It’s Friday night and time for a dance party with the return of Fayetteville party dance rockers Boom Kinetic to Stickyz. The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $10 cover for the 18-and-up show. The opening act is Indie Bullsh*t, a joyous rock ‘n’ roll act comprised of members from bands such as Siversa, After the Tragedy and other local acts. Boom Kinetic’s first, full-length album Part Gray/Part Bright Light was released in 2010. Expect a night of up-tempo dance rock originals, heavy on the synths and guitars, and a collection of the best of the ’80s pop rock and synth pop.

Here’s John Paul Keith and The One Four Fives with their “Honky Tonk Blues”:

Zoso.

Giving you the music a day early:

I once told “Robert Plant” of Led Zeppelin tribute band Zoso that he and Zoso were “freaking” amazing. I meant it. Some tribute bands are simply awful. Some are merely good. Few are extraordinary. Zoso falls into that latter category. Zoso is as close to the real thing a Zep fan will see outside of Led Zeppelin reforming. The music. The passion. The look. The skill. It’s all there. The Led Zeppelin tribute band, named after Jimmy Page’s famous symbol from Led Zeppelin IV, formed in 1995, and the group has toured excessively since, currently playing about 150 gigs a year. The quartet will bring the look and feel of the great Zep to Rev Room, and, in keeping with the Led Zeppelin tours of the mid-1970s, it will be all Zep. No filler or opening bands. It’s an all-ages show with the music starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10.

DeRay Davis usually just goes by the name DeRay — at least when performing his stand-up comedian. (Usually in his films, he is billed with his full name, such as in 2008′s Semi-Pro or in the upcoming 21 Jump Street). Here’s what DeRay says about himself: “A born hustler from Chicago’s South Side, DeRay began his career in the comedy clubs. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, DeRay won the Comedy Central Laugh Riots Competition and was a standout on the Cedric the Entertainer Tour.” DeRay brings his New Year’s Comedy Explosion to Robinson Center Music Hall. The laughs start at 8 p.m. with tickets available through Ticketmaster for $35.40, $58.55 and $68.80 — and that includes all those nasty little Ticketmaster fees.

Conway’s Matt Stell & the Crashers are coming down Interstate 40 for a Little Rock show at Stickyz. For fans of the band, that means a night of good times, with the band — Matt Stell on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Williams on bass, Darren Barry on lead guitar and harmony vocals, and Cliff Aaron on drums — running through their country music that also touches upon rock ‘n’ roll, blues, soul, folk and even a little of gospel. And after reading what the band brings, shouldn’t you be a fan, too? Seemingly always touring, Matt Stell & the Crashers bring their introspective country, high-energy rock and Americana ballads to the River Market. The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $6 cover for the 21-and-up show.

It’s gonna get a little weird at The Afterthought as the Mockingbird Hillbilly Band visits. Proving that birds of the weird flock together, the five members of the band are equally influenced by Ozark folk music and inspired by “flying saucers and little green men, dirigibles, country cooking and country living, lightening bugs, J.R. ‘Bob’ Dobbs” and other weird things in creating their hillbilly psychedelia. But don’t let all that scare you. It might be a little strange, but it’ll be a whole lot of fun. And you can dance to it! The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $7 cover.

Here’s Zoso with their take on the classic Zep tune “Whole Lotta Love”:

Dash Rip Rock.

Giving you the music a day early:

Sure, it’s the night before New Year’s Eve, but go ahead and get the party started by heading down to Stickyz and dancing into the wee hours to the swamp- and punk-flavored country rock of New Orleans’ own Dash Rip Rock. The rowdy live act is still fronted by longtime member Bill Davis, electrifying audiences with their boogie bar rock and good-timing tunes such as “Let’s Go Smoke Some Pot.” No word on the opening act, but expect the music at 9:30 p.m. with a $6 cover for the 18-and-up night. A night with Dash Rip Rock is a perfect way to send 2011 out the door one night early. (And New Year’s Eve is on a Saturday so you can sleep all day before heading out to celebrate the coming of 2012.)

Seemingly at least once a week in 2011, the Rev Room brought local music fans some of the best in local rock, and a night before the end of the year, the River Market club celebrates the wealth of local talent with its End of the Year Music Dump. Okay, perhaps the name isn’t the best description of what one will find, if they head down to the Rev Room for this night of music, but the bands include Fayetteville rock group Amsterdam, Little Rock rock outfit Grand Facade, Fayetteville alternative rockers Chasing Pictures, Little Rock rock ‘n’ roll act The Revolutioners and Little Rock rock band The Supporting Cast. The music starts at 8:30 p.m. with a $5 cover for 21 and over, and a $10 cover for 18-20.

Coming to The Afterthought is Mojo Depot, the Little Rock group consisting of Tyndall Jackson on guitar, Rob Moore on vocals and guitar, Jason Adams on drums and John Wright on bass, that has been making music for more than 25 years, creating original jammy blues rock and covering selections from The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Robert Earl Keen and others. The shot of Mojo starts at 9 p.m. with a $7 cover. It’ll be a fun night and a perfect warm up to New Year’s Eve.

Here’s Dash Rip Rock with their “Let’s Go Smoke Some Pot”:
