10 WHAT'S UP! FEBRUARY 13-19, 2022 LIVE! IN NWA It's Not Too Soon To Plan For Stars and Sauce MONICA HOOPER NWA Democrat-Gazette T his year's Stars and Sauce festival will be April 29-30 at The Farm in Eureka Springs, but Joshua Bradshaw, the founder of the festival, wants to give audiences a sneak peek at a pre-party starting at 7 p.m. Feb. 19 at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville. In addition to hearing some of the bands that will be at this year's festival, concertgoers will get to see some of the gear used for stargazing. "Explore Scientific is also going to be there with an example of the telescopes," Bradshaw says. He explains it's hard to convey in a flyer just how high-powered the telescopes at the festival will be. "Seeing the telescope is going to get the word out a little bit better." Providing music for the pre-party will be 1 oz jig, Rev. Pollard and The Family Holler and Monk Is King. Tickets are $15 and are available through the events page at georgesmajesticlounge.com or at the door — but they may sell out before the event. More information on the Stars and Sauce festival is on its Facebook page.
