Live Music in the North State: August 30 – September 5

 

Harmonica Steve performs at Mason’s Pizza in Bella Vista Thursday, August 31. He’ll also play the Lewiston Hotel on Sunday, September 3.

 

Our outdoor music festivals are pretty much done for the summer, with the notable exception of the Sunset River Jam in Anderson River Park, which will continue until October 4. That said, it’s hardly an entertainment desert out there, so please, venture out and enjoy.
