Presented in collaboration with NWA Equality, join us for an evening celebrating Pride Month with live music from Little Rock-based rock-and-soul band Dazz & Brie, hosted by Northwest Arkansas Drag Queens. This woman-fronted duo and band combines heavy rock instrumentation with soulful harmonies to create music that transcends all ages. Their sophomore project, Can’t Chase Girls and Your Money Too, combines a blend of acid rock, funk, and country. The band has performed all over the US from Afropunk’s Battle of the Bands in Brooklyn to Los Angeles, so don’t miss their performance at the Forest Concert Series!
Opening band: True Lions
Kansas City-based all-femme musicians, True Lions combine strong yet delicate harmonies with clever metaphors. They recall 90s classic lo-fi indie popin’ ways that mimic the likes of American “Twee” groups such as Tiger Trap, Go Sailor, and The Softies. Lead songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Alison Hawkins (guitar, keys, vocals) was initially joined by Mikala Petillo “Miki P” (bass, drums, vocals) for their self-released debut EP in February 2019, Cute at Best, with the help of tracking engineer Ross Brown (Fullbloods, Shy Boys). Their songs became locally known for playfully confronting fierce subject matter, calling out sexism in the music scene.
