It was a HOT weekend!

Yes, Saturday was close to unbearably hot and humid. Fortunately it did not keep people away from Eureka Springs! Music in Basin Spring Park was wonderful as usual.

Jimmy Wells kicked it off at noon with his incredible guitar playing. If you have not heard his rendition of the 60's Stones song "Paint it Black" you are missing out!

At 1:00p.m. the unique fusion sounds of The Flip-Off Pirates could be heard all around town. These guys were really something!

At 2:00p.m. Rachiel Fields and Larry Brick graced us with some wonderfully Original tunes. Man can they jam!

At 3:00p.m. we heard from Maia Archote. She won 1st place at last years Singer/Songwriter contest at our Folk Festival. And we just found out she auditioned for American Idol and advanced to the second stage! Good luck Maia, we love you!

The day was closed out with the Honky-Tonk Country sounds of Glen McKenzie and the Road Kings. These guys really put on a show!

Sunday we got a bit of a reprieve from the heat and it was only in the lower 90's. There were not as many people in Basin Spring Park, probably since the news forecast was for 99+ degrees.

At noon Catherine Reed played some really great tunes. She plays a mean guitar and can sing too!

At 1:00p.m. Rachiel Fields and Larry Brick were back at it again. I thought they were good on Saturday, but Sunday's performance blew that away!

At 2:00p.m. we heard from the Eureka Street Buskers, Steve Jones and Willy Jones. Nope, no relation. You might remember Willy Jones for starting up the Eureka Springs Blues Festival all those years ago. They played some good old traditional blues.

At 3:00p.m. the day was closed out with the original music of Jeff Lee. Take old cowboy ballads and give them a modern twist and that was the music. Great stuff!

So, if you were unable to attend the past weekend's music in Basin Spring Park, you missed out. But fear not, we will be doing it all over again this coming weekend. Be sure to check the blog later in the week for the upcoming schedule.

What a warm weekend!

Well, it was a warm one this past weekend. For those of you who attended our Dance in the Park After Dark last Friday night, thanks! I am sure you had a blast! If you did not attend, you really missed out.

Little Jack Melody and his Young Turks put on a wonderful show! Even as hot as it was many people actually danced! It was so much fun I bet there are a few still recovering!

Music on Saturday in Basin Park was much fun and well attended. We want to give a shout out of thanks to Cletus Got Shot from Fayetteville for gracing our stage. It was refreshing to have something a little different! I really cannot say what you'd call the genre they are but I would say Bluegrass-a-Billy is the only way to describe them.

Sunday was a scorcher and I don't blame anyone who stayed in the air conditioning. It looks like summer has finally reared its ugly head. At least we have four distinct seasons here in Eureka Springs. I know much of the rest of the US isn't so lucky. And believe you me, I have been to places that had only 2 seasons: Hot and Hotter!

More music to come this weekend, we'll keep you updated!

What a Great Weekend

Saturday we watched some great dancers and listened to awesome music from noon until 5pm. The rain stayed away long enough to make it a great day.

We started off with the amazing movement of UMZIMBA, those girls can really move. Kadi had a guest performer with her, one of her student's, Kirsten, who proves you don't have to grow up dancing to perform. She has been studing with Kadi and Lorna for the last two years and had her own solo piece this weekend in the park. And of course as always Kadi amazed us with her grace, elegance and stamina as she danced around the park. Watching her dance out in the heat this weekend it looked like one heck of a workout. People filled the park from front to back to see the show.

Rachel Fields and Lary Brick played a wonderful set of melodious accoustic duo's, followed by Jeff Lee.

Next was our very own Mountain Sprout who as always filled the park with their badass bluegrass. It doens't matter how many times you hear these guys, you still want more. Their earth day song was a hit as always making it clear these guys need to get back in the recording booth and get us all copies we can take home and listen to over and over again.

Last, but certanily not least, was Anna Horton. Who would have thought there could be a new young lounge singer with the ability to belt the way the girls did back in the day. She played all the old favorites transporting listeners back to a simpler time.

Sunday I skipped the park and decided to hit the water. Because of all the rain Trigger Gap was running too fast and muddy to get in, so we headed to what used to be the Bluffs. It now looks more like a little rock nub above the water, but the temperature is PERFECT. Cool but not cold, the kind of temp that after you have been in the water for a while it just feels wet, not hot, not cold, just fluid. It was a perfect weekend in the Ozarks. Next weekend's looking pretty good too!

Sunday, July 13, 2008

Wish you were here!

So, we are just sitting here in Basin Spring Park listening to great music and enjoying the weather! It is quite the beautiful day here in Eureka Springs. It is hard to imagine that it is 1/2 way through July!

If you aren't here you are missing out.

Dance the Night Away July 18th

Come Dance the Night away at our 3rd Dance in the Park After Dark with Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks!!

The show starts at 8pm in Basin Spring Park on July 18th (weather permitting) and is FREE to all-ages.

New York Magazine
"...Melody's painfully acute observations on modern life--like a Kurt Weill for the Tarantino age."

David Fricke, Rolling Stone
"...supper-club class and fine surrealist humor. One song retells the Creation story with Frank Sinatra as God; another celebrates the liberation of Switzerland. Deeply weird, utterly fab..."

LJM - Esquire Magazine

Kurt Loder, Esquire
"...the music is angular and sardonic in a Kurt Weill mode...but Melody's lyrical conceptions are original. He dreams of marching on Switzerland and curing the natives of their smug complacency ("Happy nations have no history/Let's go give 'em some"). He sings of his weariness with modern reality ("I can't remember the reason I woke up this morning/Maybe awake is what's left at the end of a dream"). In "The Dance Lesson," he trains a knowing eye on the eternal spectacle of a young man and woman falling head over heels in love, for reasons they're unlikely to fully comprehend: 'Blame it on the moon/Blame it on the mystery/Blame it on the mom and dad who wrote your sordid history.'

"Melody is hardly a run-of-the-mill romantic ("What the called love, let's call lingerie," he croons), but he does place faith in the transcendent powers of art and imagination, wondering, at one point, "If dreamers felt at home/Would there be a sky to roam/Would there be a tale to tell?" ...this debut effort has literary depth and a warm, inventive sound that should keep all ears cocked for a follow-up."

Little Jack Melody and his Young Turks!

Friday night July 18th is our next Dance in the Park After Dark. How much does it cost?? FREE! FREE! FREE! This is an all ages show and brining your children is definitely encouraged! Come to basin Spring Park from 8:00pm to 10:00pm and dance till you drop! But don't worry we'll have water for $1 a bottle!

This months feature band is "Little Jack Melody and his Young Turks." . Any questions? Give us a call at 479.253.2586 or toll free 888.855.7823

Here is a little more about the band:

"Bandwagons are just too narrow for this band; I'm not planning to jump on anything anytime soon," claims Little Jack Melody. Incorporating elements of swing, European cabaret, tango, samba, polka, waltz, theater, and black humor, among others, Little Jack's musical world is truly indescribable, at least succinctly. With a cataclysmic ensemble of jazz-rooted musicians and a body of songs celebrating everything from co-dependency to Frank Sinatra as Creator, the slouching ennui of the century's end to Freud's apocryphal last words, the megalomania of the Me Generation to a eulogy for Jack Kerouac, Melody is a true original.

Appropriating his nom du plume from an arcane Beat Generation footnote of a character, ("sounded like a name with treble clefs and capped teeth," muses Little Jack), Melody's band of Young Turks originally included such seldom-seens as tuba and harmonium. In 1997, "phase two" began with tuba being replaced by upright bass, and piano and Hammond pushing the harmonium into the back seat. "I think some people refused to take us seriously with harmonium and tuba," laments Little Jack. "Sort of a nascent rubber chickenism that sometimes pulled focus from the music."

Melody's inspirations have included, at various moments, Brecht/Weill, Nino Rota, Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Stephen Sondheim, Carla Bley, circuses, Edward Hopper, Raymond Carver and Hubert Selby Jr., and especially "...the cabaret phenomena in Europe in the 20's and 30's... the possibilities of song-as-commentary, whether political, social, or cultural."

my charmed life, Little Jack Melody's third CD, was released by Carpe Diem Records in August, '97. It has attracted favorable press and airplay on triple A and college radio across the country. On the Blank Generation, Melody's debut, received glowing notices from such publications as Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, Esquire, and Musician, and was a Jackpot! pick in CMJ; Melody was also interviewed by Noah Adams for a feature on National Public Radio's All Things Considered. World of Fireworks, the band's second CD, was unleashed in mid-'94. A live album, Noise and Smoke, was recorded in August of '98; it will be released in August of '99.

The present line-up of Young Turks is Jeff Novack, upright bass, drummer Bill Shupp, Brad Williams on piano and harmonium, and saxophonist Jeff Fort; all are current members or veterans of the renowned University of North Texas lab bands. "These Turks are tremendous players and genuine helluvaguys. They keep raising the bar on me- it's intimidating."

The band continues to tour, with travels ranging from Michigan to Florida in '98. In October of '98, Melody contributed music to 2 theatrical productions: in Los Angeles, Louis Broome's Texarkana Waltz (Circle X Theater Company), and in Dallas, Our Endeavors Theater Company's The Ultra-Happy, Super-Sad, Mega-Variety Revue.

In September of '96, Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks went to Seattle to perform Melody's score for the world premiere of love is a place, a theatrical piece based on the life and work of e.e. cummings, written by The Firesign Theatre's David Ossman. Melody's other forays into musical theater include Ft. Worth's Hip Pocket Theatre's Every Man His Own Football, Hubcaps Afire Over Hollywood, Nightmare Alley, starring Tyrone Power, the un-produced Helmet of Justice, and Alabama Songs (Workhouse Theater, New York.)

Past laurels include the Dallas Observer award for "Best Avant-Garde/Experimental" ('94, '95), showcase performances at SXSW, New Music Seminar, CMJ Music Marathon, and festival dates including Seattle's Bumbershoot, Toronto's Harbourfront, Birmingham's City Stages, Nashville's Summer Lights, and Atlanta's Midtown Music Festival, among others.
