Arkansauce to cook up a good time at UA – Pulaski Tech CHARTS Theater Oct. 26

Popular genre-defying string band Arkansauce will bring a foot-stomping good time to UA – Pulaski Tech’s CHARTS Theater on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at 7:30 p.m.

Arkansauce blends progressive newgrass with the soul of the Ozarks. Their music is a joyful adventure of upbeat jams, thoughtful lyrics, driving rhythms, and soulful grooves. Arkansauce evokes the rolling hills and raging rivers of their home state with the perfect balance of traditional bluegrass and progressive, genre-bending playfulness. Each member contributes to the storytelling, creating a sound that’s equally appealing to deep thinkers and barefoot dancers. With a reputation for high-energy shows and a deep connection with their audience, Arkansauce is a must-see for fans of bluegrass, Americana, and improvisational music.

Arkansauce is comprised of Tom Andersen on bass, Zac Archuleta on guitar, Ethan Bush on mandolin, and Adams Collins on banjo. Their latest album, "OK to Wonder," showcases the band's signature upbeat jams in the context of smart, hook-filled songwriting. The 11-track album is filled with songs of revelry, wonder, insight, and whimsy—inspired not only from their home state of Arkansas, but also throughout their travels.

“We are a band that spends most of our time in the back of a van hurtling toward long nights, good times, and a destiny unknown,” says Ethan. “Our inspiration is gathered by events unfolding in our own adventures in real time. These days, the desire to create, inspire, and redefine within our scene seems to be the main driving force behind our music.”

Don't miss this exhilarating show; it'll be a wild ride!
