10 WHAT'S UP! APRIL 17-23, 2022 LIVE! IN NWA Rain, Rain Go Away, It's Concert Weather MONICA HOOPER NWA Democrat-Gazette M ore opportunities to get out and hear live music in the great outdoors are popping up around Northwest Arkansas. Music on the Mountain recently started back up on Mount Sequoyah in Fayetteville, and Shannon Wurst is set to perform on April 29; Los Voleros with the NWA Jazz Society on May 6; and Words on Birds with Still on the Hill on May 7. Some performances take place indoors. "We had intended to resurrect the Music on the Mountain series for some time, but the catalyst was actually the pandemic. People were in need of ways to safely connect, so creating distanced circles on Cottage Circle lawn allowed people to gather to listen to music in a way that felt safe," says Jessica DeBari, director of creative spaces at Mount Sequoyah. "People can bring pets (on leashes) to our outdoor concerts. Picnics and BYOB are allowed and encouraged for our outdoor concerts." When a musician plays indoors, as pianist Abby Howard did April 16, refreshments are offered inside. In addition to music, DeBari adds that there is also an exhibit by Jason Jones on display in the great room of Sequoyah Hall. DeBari says that Music on the Mountain starts around 6:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. when music moves indoors at 150 N. Skyline Drive. Find out more about this series at mountsequoyah.org.
