Wednesday’s Music

Sevendust.

Giving you the music a day early:

100.3 The Edge presents the return of veteran American heavy metal band Sevendust to Little Rock with a show at Juanita’s. Since the return of lead guitarist Clint Lowery in 2008, the band has undergone a kind of rebirth, including the release of their 2010 album Cold Day Memory, which launched two mainstream rock hits in “Unraveling” and “Forever.” The doors open at 8 p.m. with the music at 9:05 p.m. with tickets $21 in advance and $25 at the door. Joining Sevendust will be Las Vegas rock band Adelitas Way, Nebraska rock band Emphatic and Oklahoma rock band Violence to Vegas along with up-and-coming melodic heavy metal outfit Seven Day Sonnet.

It starred Oscar winners and was directed by Oscar winners, but the true star of the 2010 version of True Grit was 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, playing the role of Mattie Ross and repeating the lines of Arkansas native and True Grit (the book) writer Charles Portis. Words of wisdom such as “You must pay for everything in this world, one way and another. There is nothing free except the grace of God.” True Grit makes its triumphant return to Little Rock with a free showing at Movies in the Park at Riverfest Amphitheatre. The amphitheatre opens an hour before the film showing which is at sundown. If you are unsure what the Coen Brothers-directed film is about then you haven’t been paying attention for the last year. Just go watch it.

C.J. Ramone is a true American punk, the bassist for legendary punk group Ramones from 1989 to 1996. For his first solo tour, Ramone will be playing an all-Ramones set with an all-star band featuring longtime Ramones producer Daniel Rey, and the tour brings Ramone and company to Downtown Music. Tickets are $15 in advance; $20 day of show. The doors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. Also on the bill is Little Rock punk rock trio Crooked Roots and Conway punk outfit The Muddlestuds.
