A review of the Weekend’s Music in Basin Spring Park
Friday Night Dance in the Park After Dark Featuring Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band and Trout Fishing in America.
The evening was kicked off with Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band. Wow! There were more than a few people who were blown away with these guys. Blues? Rock? How about Rocking Blues. The show was amazing! A lot of audience participation really ramped up the dynamic of the show. When it was time for Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band to leave the stage, the audience was still begging for more! We will be having these guys back in the near future!
Around 8:30 Trout Fishing in America took the stage. They have been playing for 36 years and it shows. With the release of their new CD they are back on the map again, not that they ever actually were off the map! Great tunes from years past mixed with many new songs gave us a great show. Fans from all over the Ozarks and surrounding areas were given a wonderful show.
Saturday in Basin Spring Park started out with the old west balladeer Jeff Lee. His original songs sung in the style of old west tunes is always something great! Pope County Bootleggers were next. Amazing energy and great tunes flowed from the stage. Next the Fabulous Hogscalders graced our stage with Steve Jones and Arkansas Red giving us their renditions of some old standards. Awesome Possums played some great tunes for us and the Cajon Sol Finished the day with some traditional New Orleans style music. All in all Saturday was a wonderful day for music in Basin Spring Park.
You could not asked for a more beautiful day in Basin Spring Park on Sunday. Sunny and cool weather set the stage for Brent Pierce with special guest Fred Mayer. Next Susan Shore was up with her beautiful songs and superior guitar playing. Effron White was up next and his bumper stickers sums it all up: Effron White – Effin Right! Then our good friend from Punkin Head, Paul Boatright graced our stage with his keyboard and played us some really great tunes. Finally to close our day, our very own Kosmik Debris played us some Eureka Springs Originals.
It was a beautiful weekend and we had some very nice talent on the stage at Basin Spring Park. If you missed it, well, you REALLY missed out. Be sure to check our calendar for more great music coming up!
