Murphy USA Summer Concert Series Kick-Off (El Dorado)
The Murphy USA Summer Concert Series kicks off this weekend in El Dorado! There will be fun activities, food, live entertainment, shopping, and fun for all ages throughout downtown during the day. All the day time fun will lead up to the SHOWDOWN AT SUNSET live gunfight reenactment downtown on the steps of the Courthouse lawn with a full new cast and show. The FREE 2019 Summer Concert Series in the Murphy Arts District amphitheater downtown starts at 7 p.m. Kicking off the concert series for this weekend will be featuring electric blues singer, guitarist and songwriter, Nikki Hill. Nikki comes by her Deep South soul honestly. Her musical roots began while singing in gospel choirs as a child, but influenced by many different styles of music. Nikki has created a heavy and sudden international underground buzz with her soulful sound and live performances. After pairing up with her guitar-playing husband Matt Hill, they have established themselves as roots rock and roll powerhouses drawing crowds from every avenue at their shows! Nikki now has established herself as “The Southern Fireball”, “the new soul sensation”, and even “the new Queen of Rock and Roll” by music critics and press writers and is still gaining momentum with no plans of stopping as she continues to tour all over the United States, Europe and Australia. Playing before Nikki is Emi Sunshine. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Emi Sunshine has already graced some of the most-prestigious stages–from the “Today Show,” to the Grand Ole Opry (over a dozen times) and most recently, “Little Big Shots starring Steve Harvey” last April. Make plans to be in El Dorado this weekend!

Opera In the Ozarks (Eureka Springs)
Opera in the Ozarks will be this weekend in Eureka Springs. Friday night, the feature opera performance will be Little Women, and on Saturday you can view Mozart’s The Abduction from the Seraglio. Mark Adamo’s Little Women is a moving and powerful telling of Louisa May Alcott’s story centering on the love of the four March sisters: Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy. Mozart’s The Abduction From The Seraglio is a comedy that strongly testifies to the power of love’s devotion. Mozart’s rollicking comedy revolves around two ladies who have been kidnapped and their boyfriends’ efforts to rescue them. Set in the Caribbean, the captors are pirates, but the music is consistent with the late 18th-century interest in the Middle East. This performance will be sung in German with English dialogue and with English subtitles projected above the stage.
Venue: Inspiration Point Fine Arts, Eureka Springs
Date: June 21-22
Time: 7:30
