Did you know that for only $10 you can help an Arkansas musician afford the food and shelter they need to write songs and practice them to perform then in front of crowds? It's true! The cover charge you pay to watch them perform or the cash you hand them for a Tshirt will help them put gas in their vehicle and even put new strings on their guitars. There's tons of sweet Arkansas artists playing all over the state this week, so be sure to bring lots of cash with you to pay your cover at the door, to tip your servers, and buy lots of merchandise from the band.
