Nashville-based singer and songwriter Emily Nenni performs at 7 p.m. May 16 at Meteor Guitar Gallery, 128 W. Central Ave. in Bentonville. Nenni released “On The Ranch” in November 2022. It was hailed as a “barn burner,” by No Depression and “an irresistible vintage-country masterwork” by Nashville Scene. She recently wrapped tours with Charley Crockett, Kelsey Waldon and Teddy & The Rough Riders. Nenni will be supporting American Aquarium at 6 p.m. May 14 at Majestic Fort Smith.

Opening for Nenni in Bentonville will be Riley Downing, a guitarist and songwriter with the New Orleans-based roots rock band the Deslondes. He will perform his solo work and some Deslondes favorites.
