The Clapp Auditorium at Mount Sequoyah Center in preparing for two nights of dance and performance Aug. 20-21. The inaugural Fay Do Do event — the name is a play on “Fais Do Do,” the term for a Cajun dance party — will feature both local and nationally touring acts.

Cooked up by local musicians Dylan Earl, Nick Shoulders and Willi Carlisle, Fay Do Do will highlight and celebrate industry outsiders, LGBTQIA+ performers and “oddballs.” The back-to-back evenings will offer Northwest Arkansas world class country music and beginner traditional dance lessons.

Melissa Carper headlines Aug. 20. Lavender Country — widely considered the first openly gay country band, which formed nearly 50 years ago — will make their Arkansas debut headlining on Aug. 21. Other performers include Chris Acker, Paisley Fields, Jude Brothers, Dazz and Brie, and Jonathan Terrell. Both nights will feature Earl, Shoulders and Carlisle.

Music starts at 5 p.m. Aug. 20 and 3 p.m. Aug 21. Tickets are $20/night. eventbrite.com/e/fay-do-do-2021-tickets-164321192109
