Saturday, July 20th will mark the return of our good friend, Mark Currey! We can’t believe that it’s been nearly 2 years since he’s been here! Time flies – but great music soars! Come enjoy someone you’ve heard before… or join us to discover someone new!
Mark is based in Little Rock (so you may have already caught him at the Oyster Bar or Camp Taco and not even realized it!), but his musical roots run through North Texas and Southeast Arkansas. Mark is a three-time nominee in the Arkansas Country Music Awards – and a finalist in the Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Association Songwriter U Competition in 2015. He's also a three-time entrant in the Antlers & Acorns Songwriters Festival held in Boone, NC each September, having rubbed elbows with the likes of Mary Gauthier, John Paul White, James McMurtry and Shawn Mullins (another of our favorites). If that’s not enough name dropping, he’s shared the stage with Radney Foster, Todd Snider, Jack Ingram, American Aquarium, Amanda Shires, Charlie Robison, and Lilly Hiatt! Are you in for a treat or what!?! Let's fill our venue - and even have folks outside on the patio if we need the space! Requested donation (which all goes to the artist) is $20 per person. Trust us... it's worth it!
Our venue has 28 seats available --- and there's standing room - just to give you a sense of possible audience size. Please select GOING to confirm you're planning to attend as we anticipate a packed house for this show. If your social calendar fills up, please just switch yourself to INTERESTED so we know not to expect to see your smiling face, and free up a spot for another music lover. Doors will open at 6:30pm and prepare to be entertained starting at 7pm.
REMINDER: This is a HOUSE CONCERT...not a house party.
If you have not attended a Rainwater House Concert Series show before, here are a few things to know:
1. It is BYOB! The RHCS Happy Machine will be loaded and ready (it'll be RUM) - and please bring whatever other libations you prefer. We will have an ice chest for you to keep it cold if needed. (Drink Responsibly)
2. Bring a dish to share. It can be chips and dip, cookies, an order of wings, a personally prepared dish (our favorite), or anything you think people will like. We will have SOME snacks, but there may not be enough to feed everyone.
3. This is not a bar venue. We disapprove of talking during the performance, and we appreciate giving your undivided attention to our entertainers during the performance. If you need to talk, please go outside.
4. If you came to hear cover songs, you’ve come to the wrong place. This is for the artist to show off their original music. They may play some covers throughout the night, but it won't be the focus.
5. Silence your phones. Give some respect.
6. We do not CHARGE for admission. We ask for donations, but if you are there to listen to the artist, then you need to pay up (it is not fair to the artist for you to get something for nothing, and they give something and get nothing). This is the artist's livelihood. They aren't here for their health. THERE MAY BE MERCH - so bring extra $$$$
7. Enjoy yourself. Meet new friends through music. And most of all HAVE FUN! We know WE will!
