-Entry forms are available for the 2008 Eureka Springs Christmas Decoration Contest. Prize money in four different categories. It's time to get to work!! Pick up forms at the Chamber of Commerce, THE Auditorium, the Transit/Visitor Welcome Center or the CAPC office. Judging takes place on Monday November 24.

the LIBRARY. (Incorrectly stated as the Post Office.)

"around" to Vintage Cargo.

* Business along Highways 62 and/or 23 South within the City limits. (No change)



If you fall in either of the two corrected categories, please feel free to change the wording on the entry form, although the judges are aware of the change. I apologize for any confusion this has caused. -karen

It’s Just Around The Corner.. Eureka Springs Folk Festival!!!

The four day 61st Annual Ozark Original Folk Festival runs from November 6-9, 2008. Our host will be the talented Greg Kylma.


Greg Kylma, a January baby, born in Buffalo, NY on his father's bowling night, is the son of a garbage man. Greg grew up in a blue collar town with a blue collar work ethic and an appreciation of blue collar fun. In August 1998, Klyma took that ethic out on the road, honing his songwriting, storytelling, musicianship, and presentation at venues and festivals across the US.

A solid decade of traveling, performing and chewing on life are reflected in Rust Belt Vagabond's central theme of truth. Greg explores the Tale of Two Brothers, post-Katrina New Orleans, the history of Buffalo, NY and personal truth - his own shortcomings, the way we depend on each other and the healing power of love.

Recorded in studios from Austin, TX and Durham, NC to home studios scattered about the northeast US, Rust Belt Vagabond features two songs co-written with friend Jonathan Byrd, a fresh new version of "Erie Canal," and performances by, among others, Byrd, Tom Bianchi, Sick and Anthony da Costa.

Greg Klyma is the Rust Belt Vagabond - a folk troubadour with a rock 'n' roll heart, a home-cooked meal and a Vaudeville show in a fast-food, karaoke world. Simply put, Greg Klyma is an entertainer… and he's got songs. Lots of them. Besides his own prolific catalog of songs, ranging from historical ballads to outrageously funny bar songs, Greg can play hundreds of classic radio hits and album tracks. He is likewise known to improvise songs at the drop of a hat, keeping his shows forever in the moment.

Discography: New Clothes (2000), In the Meantime (2001), Not a Complicated Guy (2003), Driver (2006), Rust Belt Vagabond (2008)

Greg Klyma has opened for Todd Snider, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Fred Eaglesmith, & Jimmy LaFave among others,
in venues including Club Passim, Beachland Ballroom, Eddie's Attic, The Ark and the Cactus Cafe.

We love his unique sound and storytelling here in Eureka and are thrilled to have him as this year's Festival Host, as Greg is celebrating the release of his new CD, Rust Belt Vagabond.

Can't Wait til Folk Fest????

WOW What A Week!!!

Wow!!! Did you get a chance to visit Eureka Springs last week? The falls colors are popping out by the moment, maybe they were inspired by the seemingly non-stop music of last week.

On Thursday evening, The Maybelles brought our Americana House series to a close with a standing room only concert at the Gavioli Chapel.
Fans of the Americana House Concerts series, remember that while our season has come to a close. The Unitarian Church, located on 17 Elk Street is just staring their fall House concerts. Terri Hendrix, will be back by popular demand on October 22 and Mollie O'Brien and Rich Moore Will be performing on November 19th. If you are a fan of NPR's Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion than you will probably recognize Mollie's smoky vocals as part of the Hopeful Gospel Quartet. Doors open at 7:00pm.

Friday night, Guy Forysth of Austin, Texas fame brought to a close the Last Dance in the Park of the season. More than one person commented. "Wow – I have a new favorite band!!!"

Downtown was packed Saturday, and everyone who stopped by for to see the Ozone Players and Cletus Got Shot at this weekend's Free Music In Basin Spring Park was treated to not one but two surprise Sneak Previews by Beatlegras, who performed in The Auditorium Saturday evening to an enthusiastic audience.

The Free Music in Basin Park continues through the month of October, ending the week ending this week end with Steve Jones & Arkansas Red as well as The Awesome Possums on Saturday the 25th. Pearl Brick followed by Jeff Lee will be performing on Sunday the 26th.

Dance In The Park After Dark Tonight

Join us for the Last Dance in The Park After Dark of the Season, 7:00pm, Friday October 17, 2008. From the Lone Star state two of Austin's favorites bands The Derral Gleason Trio and Guy Forsyth will bring the season to a close.

....Derral's diversity is illustrated by a musical history which has seen his bands touring nationally and internationally with the POLICE, INXS, Iggy Pop, and the Divinyls... to solo-acoustic openings with Jerry Jeff Walker and Reverend Horton Heat. Check out their latest CD release "Abby's Bane Sessions" at

http://www.myspace.com/derralgleasonmusic

http://www.unlockaustin.com/Band/Derral%20Gleason%20Trio

Guy Forsyth features, Guy Forsyth on Guitar/Harp/Saw, Will Landin on Bass/Tuba and
Rob Hooper on Drums/Cajon. Their CD's include Voices Inside, Love Songs For & Against, Unrepentant Schizophrenic Americana, and their latest Calico Girl.

"A collection of songs as diverse in style as they are in mood: insights on love, fear, the perils of unchecked consumerism, war, the government, spirituality, psychotropic drug abuse and the apocalypse shot through Guy's typically eclectic prism of blues, folk, jazz, reggae, funk and rock and roll."

Join us for the Last Dance in The Park of the Season, Friday October 17, 2008 at 7:00pm.

From the Lone Star state two of Austin's favorites bands The Derral Gleason Trio and Guy Forsyth will bring the season to a close.

....Derral's diversity is illustrated by a musical history which has seen his bands touring nationally and internationally with the POLICE, INXS, Iggy Pop, and the Divinyls... to solo-acoustic openings with Jerry Jeff Walker and Reverend Horton Heat. Check out their latest release is 'Abby's Bane Sessions' .at http://www.myspace.com/..derralgleasonmusic http://..www.unlockaustin.com/Band/..Derral%20Gleason%20Trio

Rob Hooper - Drums/Cajon.

Their CD's include Voices Inside, Love Songs For & Against, Unrepentant Schizophrenic Americana, and their latest Calico Girl.
'A collection of songs as diverse in style as they are in mood: insights on love, fear, the perils of unchecked consumerism, war, the government, spirituality, psychotropic drug abuse and the apocalypse shot through Guy's typically eclectic prism of blues, folk, jazz, reggae, funk and rock and roll.'

THE MAYBELLES To Close Americana House Concerts Season

The Maybelles will bring to a close Eureka Springs 2008 Americana House Concert Season. They will be performing Thursday October 16th, at 7:00pm at the Gavioli Chapel. The Gavioli Chapel is located at 80 Mountain Street. Admission is $10.00/

The Maybelles began several years ago right here in Eureka Springs when Melissa Carper and Jan Bell met and started playing music together. As a duo playing New Orleans where they first appeared as The Maybelles, New Orleans City Life magazine ranked them among the Top 10 of the city's music acts.

While performing in New York they added Katy Rose Cox to make them a trio.

Chuck Eddy, Senior Music Editor at the Village Voice, rated the group's debut album White Trash Jenny among his favorite Top Ten Folk Albums. He described them as, "An EXPERT BAND. Celtic tinged, Appalachian influenced.

Mikael Wood, who also writes for the Village Voice, characterized the band's efforts as, "A triumph for equal opportunity bluegrassers, never once sinks into mere bluegrass reverence." And Time Out NY magazine gave them a coveted Recommended rating with the comment, "Don't Miss The Maybelles."

They didn't miss them in London either. Charlie Gillett of the British Broadcasting Corporation [BBC] said, "Of all the music the 'Be Good Tanya's' gave me, my favorite is The Maybelles. They sound like they might be granddaughters of country greats." Interesting comment in that Jan Bell grew up in Nottinghamshire, England.

Jerome Clark who frequently writes with actor Robin Williams and Williams' wife, Linda, wrote on Rambles.net, "Freshness bordering on wonder.''

Donice Woodside, writing for Nightflying, described them as "Musical geniuses in mutual motion.''

Susan Porter, in the Fayetteville Free Weekly says they're an "Upbeat and charming Americana trio."

According to Mike Shirkey of KUAF Radio, "They've got it all. Good writing. Good voices. Good sound. If you haven't seen The Maybelles in a while, you're in for a surprise."

This is a songwriter's band. Performing Songwriter magazine selected White Trash Jenny for its annual Top 12 DIY picks. They described the album as "chock-full of good old fashioned fun -- groping, incest and stints in jail." The title track tells the story of a free-spirited woman who chose a life of crime and time in jail over life in a trailer park, "having kids and being someone's wife."

The Maybelles have been invited to perform at the International Bluegrass Music Awards in Nashville this year. And Jan Bell has won the popular vote for Independent Music Awards Alternative Country Album of the Year for her Songs For Love Drunk Sinners as performed by Jan Bell + the Cheap Dates.
