EVERY SUNDAY
JAZZ BRUNCH WORKSHOP NOON
'TIL 4PM
Our Sunday Jazz Brunch Workshop is a magical, musical phenomenon
that everyone should experience. The host trio of Burgess,
Stetz, and James (featuring the notable talents of pianist &
vocalist Greg Burgess, bassist Bill Stetz, and drummer Tom James) welcomes musicians of all
kinds to join in the musical adventure. Live and inspirational,
you'll watch, listen and smile as songs take shape and evolve in
an unrehearsed performance ... a real workshop to hone skills
and express musical vision. Many guest musicians & vocalists are
always on-hand to "sit in" as soloists or to be called upon to
create a whole new trio, quartet or larger ensemble, too. It's
a ritual that you'll want to be part of every Sunday! Because of
the popularity of our Sunday Brunch (served from 9AM-2PM), reservations are strongly
encouraged. |

David Pulizzi
8-11PM
David Pulizzi plays original music that touches on folk,
country, blues, and rock traditions. Onstage he also
occasionally covers Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley,
Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen and others. In the
late '80s, after graduating from the Guitar Institute of
Technology, he formed and fronted an L.A. band called Low Echo.
A few years later, he was back in his hometown of Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, playing guitar and singing lead vocals for the
legendary Six Suede Men. Since then, he’s played memorable
stints with The Excitable Boys and with Tin Can Sims and the
Corps Cadavers. These days, he performs both solo and with his
roots-rock band, Graveyard Rooster, wherever and whenever
opportunity allows. |

Arkansauce 9PM-MID
Arkansauce is a
genre-hopping, four piece string band from northwest Arkansas,
bending the rules and blurring the lines between bluegrass,
newgrass, folk, americana, country, blues, and funk. With a
loyal following growing every day in the Natural State and along
their tour routes, the band is proud to be stepping into a
hard-driving sound unique to the Arkansas quartet. The third
album (If I Were You, released April 2017) of all original
material finds the palate expanded with more complex melodies,
intriguing rhythms, and hard-hitting hooks that leave the songs
whirling around your head long after the listening experience.
The hard-working musicians are filling the calendar with
upcoming appearances at premiere music festivals and venues in
and around Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Colorado, New
Mexico, and Missouri. The band’s roots go back to 2011 when
founding members Ethan Bush, Zac Archuleta, and Stephen Jolly
began writing together after becoming acquainted through mutual
connections in the close-knit Fayetteville music scene. After a
couple of years building a repertoire of original music and
releasing their first album (Hambone) as a trio, they were
joined by Tom Andersen on the upright bass and Adams Collins on
the five-string banjo. The road-tested chops Andersen and
Collins brought to the table helped to cultivate the mature,
well-rounded sound needed to accommodate their sophomore release
“All Day Long.” An Arkansauce show is riddled with
improvisational guitar, banjo, and mandolin leads, paired with
powerful harmonies and heart-felt songwriting, all held together
by deep foot-stompin' bass grooves. There’s an undeniably
intimate connection between the band and their fans that's
contagious and leaves everyone in front of, and on the stage
wanting more. Arkansauce holds their head high, as they look
forward to enjoying everything life and music has in store for
them and their fans. |
