Well, sometimes life intervenes... and things change. I was diligent to keep up with this blog for sometime, but soon was occupied with so many other things that something had to fall by the wayside...unfortunately, it was El Dorado Scene that fell...LOL!
Even though the music scene here in South Arkansas has diminished somewhat with the closing of a couple of venues, there have been some changes for the good as well. My intention is to pick back up where I left off, and begin updating this blog in a timely manner & continue reporting on the music scene here in El Dorado.
Just a few teasers:
ArtBeats Cafe' is the newest venue for live music in downtown El Dorado. Located at 107 South Jefferson St., and owned by local singer/songwriter, Chris Loggins...ArtBeats has really stepped into the breach as far as Live Music goes, and has provided a venue for young up & coming local & regional acts, as well as some veteran acts. Several CD release parties have been held there already, and more are slated for the future. With funky decor, and an outstanding selection of snacks, pizza, and eclectic beverages...ArtBeats has become somewhat of a local hang-out for the artsy crowd. Kudos to Chris Loggins for providing this outstanding place!

El Dorado's 2007 MusicFest is right around the corner! Slated for October 5 & 6th, and featuring headliners such as veteran rocker, Joan Jett, as well as country troubador, Tracy Lawrence...this is shaping up to be even bigger than last year's event. Other special guests will include Texas blues-rocker, Wes Jeans, & Little Rock, Arkansas' contemporary blues-man Billy Jones. With four primary stages offering up some of the best in local & regional talent, and two secondary stages for Karaoke competition, & talent shows...this two-day musical extravaganza is one of the state's best!
