Arkansas’ live music scenes bring excitement, camaraderie and a celebration of old and new styles. Whether you’re tapping your foot at a bar, club or performance space, you’re sure to be immersed in great music. The state’s music scene is built on a fascinating lineage. Johnny Cash was an Arkansas sharecropper’s son before rising to worldwide fame. Multiple Grammy winner Glen Campbell is in the Country Music Hall of Fame along with Patsy Montana, the first female country singer to sell a million copies of a single. Many consider Sister Rosetta Tharpe to be gospel’s first superstar, and Florence Beatrice Price made her mark in classical music as the first Black woman symphonic composer. And, of course, homegrown Arkansas talent made extraordinary contributions to the blues and rock and roll.
