Minneapolis hip hop pioneers Atmosphere are touring across the U.S. with a stop in Fayetteville on Oct. 13 at George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville. They are touring on their latest EP, Talk Talk via Rhymesayers Entertainment which came out in December of last year.
The genesis of the Talk Talk EP was during a recording session for the title track, “Talk Talk”, which originally appeared on their latest album, “So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously.”
Earlier this year, Atmosphere reissued their 2007 mixtape “Strictly Leakage,” which had originally been pressed on a limited run of vinyl and CD, but it wasn’t long before they sold out, and fans were chasing bootlegs and digital files in order to hear the project. The duo also made their early 2000s mixtape “Sad Clown Bad Dub 2” available for the first time ever. They were recently featured on The Danny Brown Show podcast.
Tickets are $35 – $40 for the Oct. 13 show in Fayetteville. This is an 18 and older show, but those who are 16-17 may attend with a guardian. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Some Enchanted Evening
Jabu Graybeal taps across the stage for the next show in the 10X10 Arts Series.
Some Enchanted Evening features trumpeter and crooner Benny Benack III and vocalist Stella Katherine Cole for evening of jazzy performances of tunes from the Great American Songbook and the best of Broadway. Tickets are just $10 for the 7 p.m. Oct. 10 concert in Baum Walker Hall.
The annual Our Art, Our Region, Our Time exhibit featuring art by more than 80 local artists is on display in the Joy Pratt Markham Gallery. The collection includes paintings, light installation, sculpture and so much more representing the diverse communities right here in Northwest Arkansas. The exhibit is free and open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays and one hour prior to performances and during intermission.
Next up in the 10×10 series is an homage to Burt Bacharach with The Look of Love presented by the Mark Morris Dance Group on Nov. 20. Tickets and more information at waltonartscenter.org.
