Music Notes

The Pulaski County Fair, billed as the first for the county in more than 100 years, will be held in Riverfront Park on the North Little Rock side of the Arkansas River. It kicked off Wednesday and runs through Sunday with lots of rides, games, food, a petting zoo and plenty of music.

The Fort Collins DIY scene has been breeding new bands at noisy house shows with diverse lineups for years. For some groups, this is a necessary step in their rise to popularity. For others, like the bandmates in the Crooked Rugs, it shapes who they are, and they have no plans to fully leave it behind.

The album features appearances from Widespread Panic drummer Duane Trucks, The Sword bassist Bryan Ritchie, Jack White keys player Qui...

  Recommended by: Alexa Kushner This song premiered on Megan Thee Stallion’s Tiny Desk Concert in early 2020. Phony Ppl, in general, is a great singer and songwriter, but with this song, he brings funk back and modernizes it with Megan’s rap.
