A Music cALendAr Fisher Celebrated At George's, Logan Plays Faulkner Center Compiled By MoniCA HooPer NWA Democrat-Gazette A benefit celebrating Northwest Arkansas musician Ocie Fisher will feature an array of local talent and a silent auction. Fisher recently suffered a stroke, and her friends organized the show to help the beloved Northwest Arkansas native with her mounting medical costs. Divas On Fire, The Ocie Fisher Band with a special guest, and the St. James Gospel Tribute will perform starting at 2 p.m. Feb. 26 at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville. Rachel Fields of Brick Fields, who often performed with Fisher in Divas on Fire, helped to organize the event. She adds that people can reach out to Fisher to offer encouragement via social media. "I'd like to encourage folks to go to the Facebook event discussion page and post something good for Ocie to read. Anything they want to say or experiences they've had through her music," Fields says. "I know Ocie and her family greatly appreciate everyone's love and support." The Facebook event page is listed as a "Celebration To Support Ocie." Items are still being accepted for the silent auction. More information on Ocie and the show are available on the event page. General admission to the Feb. 26 event is $10 at georgesmajesticlounge.com/ shows. Aubrey Logan It would have been a lot easier if Aubrey Logan would have picked one talent, but she's never been one to be pigeon-holed. The singer, trombone player and songwriter will perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Faulkner Performing Arts Center on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville. Logan debuted in 2017 as one of the premier young singer-instrumentalists in the country. Her participation in Dave Koz's "Summer Horns" in 2018 helped cement her position. She followed up with "Where the Sunshine Is Expensive" in 2019 that climbed the charts and showed the depth of songwriting that she's capable of. She has shared the stage with Alabama Shakes, Meghan Trainor, Pharrell Williams, Josh Groban, The Commodores and Boston Pops at venues such as Ronnie Scott's famous jazz club in London, the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. She's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and the Grammys' Award Show and ABC's "The Goldbergs." She even recorded a duet with her childhood hero, Gloria Estefan. She's beloved by not just the dedicated fans of postmodern jukebox, but she considers the creator, Scott Bradlee, and her colleagues within the collective her true friends.
