Brothers plays tunes on an acoustic guitar and a harp with a singing range reminiscent of early Joni Mitchell. Following Brothers' set will be Daiquiri Queens. "They're a Lafayette-based Cajun party band," DeLashmet says, adding that he and Nick Shoulders are big fans of their music. "Chris Aker is going to be here. We put out Chris' third record at the end of last year. Chris is one of the best songwriters I've ever heard." Also playing are The Lostines, who produce music that is like stepping through a portal to another time for just a moment. Their sound is heavily influenced by classic country and '50s doo-wop, but with a firm footing in the present. When asked if they are old souls, Camille Wind Weatherford of The Lostines laughs. "Hopefully! Our souls have old tastes at least," she says of her band with Casey Jane Reece-Kaigler. "We're so excited," says Weatherford about their first Arkansas show. "I've heard Nicky-Bob talk about the glory of Arkansas. So I'm very, very excited about it," she says about Nick Shoulders with whom The Lostines will go on tour with this winter. "The Gar Hole-iday show that we do will be the kickoff to the tour." Looking to her first Fayetteville show, she says: "I'm just so excited honestly, to see all the other bands play. There's going to be some really amazing acts. … It's still really exciting every time we play a show because it feels new again." The Lostines recently recorded two songs for a split release with Nick Shoulders called "Heart of Night," which features Shoulders' high- lonesome style cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and an electric version of his song, "Rise When the Rooster Crows." "Heart of Night" has two songs by The Lostines, "Last Night," and "A Tear," for which the group just released a video. The split album was set to come out Dec. 2, but is running behind due to a lag in vinyl production. The Lostines have also finished recording a new album set to come out in the spring on Gar Hole Records. "That will be our first time putting music out in about six years, and it'll be our first full-length album too. So we're pretty excited about it," Weatherford says. "The Lostines live act is killer. So I've heard and seen in videos," DeLashmet jokes. "This will be my first time to see them. I'm super excited. And then Nick Shoulders with full band playing a lot of new stuff off of his forthcoming third full-length record, which we'll have coming out sometime middle of next year. "There's never been a time where everybody's fit under the same roof," DeLashmet says. "I think it's an amazing privilege to be able to put an event together like this."
