Colt Ford

Colt Ford

Take a hefty portion of Southern charm, add a dash of country livin’, a pinch of urban style, wash it all down with a sweet, fresh sound, and you have Colt Ford. A man with such a blend of unique talents and tastes can only be the natural recipe for this new sound .

Colt Ford embodies the seemingly unusual pairing of the Southern country and hip-hop musical influences that he heard growing up in small-town America. His newly styled country music is truly a blend of many American musical styles, including country, rock, hip-hop, and rhythm & blues. With this musical mixture, Colt blazes forward with a new, creative sound for the all-American everyman. Although the stories may differ for rural and urban listeners, Colt delivers a common message and emotion with an uncommon sound.

CRISIS! It’s classic rock … preserved. Described as “an absolute blast” and “full of energy and stage presence”. Opening for acts like the legendary Al Green, Huey Lewis and the News, and Three Dog Night, the band’s unique song selection and style is a favorite with all age groups. CRISIS! features some of the great classic rock covers from the 70’s and 80’s along with the perfect blend of funk, and hot country.

The Blue Meanies

The Blue MeaniesHunter S. Thompson once wrote"The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."I feel this quote is a lot like trying to tell someone who has never seen a Meanies show before just how much fun it is.It is something that you just have to experience for yourself. 

The Meanies,the twin guitar attack of Alan Cost and Darrell Yates is shredtastisc.Mr Matt Hays is an excellent bass player putting the bottom end down and keeping it down.Danny Millsaps has throat and lungs seemingly made of leather on the screamer stuff and can still be silky smooth on your favorite 80's Power Ballad...And lets not forget the engine that powers this Rock N Roll machine,on the drums... Sharpe"Animal" Dunaway.Sharpe absolutely attacks the drum kit and has a truckload of charisma. 

Seeing these guys for anyone who grew up in the 80's is like a trip back in time to High School Friday nights. You'll leave a Meanies show with ears ringing, head buzzing and a BIG smile on your face.

PG-13

PG-13PG-13 in a word is FUN. Individually they are very good on their instruments, but when they take the stage they turn into something very extraordinary. And so while PG-13 performs the best rock tunes ever written, their philosophy is “it’s got to rock and its got to be fun.”

For a long time now they have believed central Arkansas has been looking for a new and different and powerful rock group. But more importantly when they come together as a band, musical excitement really begins to rev up!

PG-13 has an extensive playlist of all your current and classic rock favorites. The group is composed of mike brown on bass, Bobby Wright on guitars, Mitch trotter on drums and Fred Bass on keys and guitar.

Individually each member plays several different instruments. Bobby (a local guitar teacher) plays incredible lead guitar. Fred plays guitar on some of the heavier rockers and keyboards on all the rest. Mike’s tremendous vocal abilities allow him to cut up on stage. And Mitch’s incredible drumming technique lays the foundation for all the classics such as hotel ca, little pink houses and funky music white boy. Mike and Bobby have even been seen dancing on the dance floor while still playing their instruments!
