Thank goodness, spring is here, sort of but not quite. It feels like spring, though, and that extends to this weekend! It’s great weather to get out, shake off the wintry blues that have seeped into your bones and go out to some local shows in Eureka Springs.
Asleep at the Wheel is back once again at the Auditorium on Saturday and they are a group worth a trip downtown. Frontman Ray Benson has kept the band alive and kicking out western swing for four decades and they will have your toes tapping and hands clapping by the end of their first song.
There’s another artist I want to talk about this week before I go out and enjoy the fine weather by being inside to cover a Parks workshop. Alyssa Galvan plays at New Delhi on Saturday at noon and holy mackerel can she belt a tune like the best. She’s from Carl Junction, Missouri, and has music in the soul that shows when she is in front of the microphone. So stop by New Delhi for lunch and enjoy the sounds of this young artist.
