IN THE AREA, could you use a cool $1,000 and a 90-minute set playing in front of thousands of people at this year’s State Fair? Of course you could. Well you are in luck, because Vino’s, the Times and the Arkansas State Fair are hosting “Back Room to the Main Stage,” in which three bands per night will compete on Aug. 30, Sept. 6 and Sept. 13, with the winning band from each night going on to the final round, Sept. 20. Each night of the competition is at Vino’s. The winner of the final round will nab the aforementioned stack of 10 hundos and will also get to play a full set on Oct. 17. The contest is open to any band. A cover song here or there is kosher, but most of the tunes should be original. To enter, either mail a CD to the address below (or drop one off) or email your songs to geccoinc@mail.com or vinosbooking@gmail.com. Deadline is Aug. 25. Here’s that address: Arkansas State Fair Office, 2600 Howard Street, Little Rock, AR 72206.

KNOWS about our readers, it’s that they love some live music. If there’s another thing the Times knows about our readers, it’s that they love some food and drink. So it would follow that Times readers would really love a chartered bus to an excellent music festival, with live music and drinks en route to said music festival and a stop for some delicious nosh on the way, right? Well it just so happens that at 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 5, the Times wagon train will depart for Jonesboro for the second annual Johnny Cash Music Festival, featuring The Civil Wars, Dierks Bentley, Rosanne Cash and Willie Nelson. The very next morning at 10 a.m., another bus will head over to Helena for the King Biscuit Blues Festival, featuring headliner Bonnie Raitt, plus The Cate Brothers, The James Cotton Band and a multitude of others. There’ll be a stopover for lunch at Craig’s Barbecue in De Valls Bluff, as well as on-board drinks and music. Both buses will return after the concerts, both are $99 and include tickets, food and drinks.
