Daves Highway is the Mississippi-born trio comprised of siblings Delaney, Zachary and Erika Daves. The groups' voices combine to create a remarkable musical blend, which can only be attributed to what is known in the South as “Blood Harmony.”

Their love of music was inherited from their parents and it wasn’t long until the siblings picked up various instruments and discovered the unparalleled sound they create when singing together. “Music has always been a huge part of our lives. Whether it’s at home, church or just hanging out with friends, music is always involved. It has always been, and always will be, a part of who we are”, says Zachary.

Since posting a home video on YouTube in 2009, the group has amassed more than 20 million video views and have made concert and TV appearances across the U.S. The band!s primary musical influences are Little Big Town, The Civil Wars, John Mayer, NeedtoBreathe, Martina McBride, and The Eagles.

ABOUT:

Long hair, tobacco, over-sized glasses and a trucker hat, Dusty Slay is the self-effacing bourbon-voiced Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational, blue-collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking. He grew up the son of a single mom in an Alabama trailer park and evokes laughs about everything from Cracker Barrel to his aversion to soap. The 40-year-old Nashville native is a mainstay on the country music scene, making his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2019 – the youngest at the time, and adding dozens of appearances in the historic Circle ever since. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has a Comedy Central special to his credit and just released his first hour-long Netflix special "Workin' Man" that he filmed about three hours from home, at the Bijou theater in Knoxville, Tennessee. With almost 20 years of eliciting guffaws through his laidback observations, comedic cadence and conversational style, Dusty is just getting started bringing his brand of relatable working-class comedy to audiences coast to coast. Slay recently announced his 35-show “The Night Shift Tour” in support of the new special.

Live music and dancing!

This year's event celebrates 11 years of Evening at the Farm with 11 tastes, featuring two main dishes by Case Dighero (Edible Culture) and Tyler Rogers (The Restaurant at Stonebreaker). There will be starting courses by Heather Artripe, Dirty Apron BakeHouse, Fran Free, Rabbit Hole, and Wright's BBQ, and all followed by a delectable dessert by Sarah Stribling. This year will also feature a custom brew collaboration by Ozark Beer Company and Fossil Cove Brewing Company, a cocktail collaboration by Fox Trail Distillery and PH Alchemy, and Spanish Coffee by Arsaga's. Each taste will showcase unique flavors and the talents of these culinary geniuses, as well as local produce, most of which comes straight from the Apple Seeds Teaching Farm.

But it's not just about food! Guests will be invited to give input on music, as Bryan Hembree will return to curate a musical atmosphere that complements the twinkly lights and crispness of autumn air.

"Evening at the Farm" is a celebration of community and togetherness. Gather with friends, family, and fellow food enthusiasts to create memories that will last another eleven years. By attending this event, you'll not only treat yourself to an unforgettable culinary experience, but also support our mission to empower and nourish our community. Proceeds from the event support Apple Seeds' year-round programming. This event takes place rain or shine.

Meet the Artist is our annual fundraiser and is an after-hours social event in our art gallery. The artists that show at Terra Studios will be gathered together for one night only, giving demonstrations and sharing their work with you. Snacks, hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine will be available. Live music by classical guitarist Robin Bibeau. Silent auction hosted featuring rare pieces of art and items from local businesses you love. You'll even have the opportunity to become the artist yourself by participating in a clay project. Tickets are available in limited quantities.

WRITTEN BY TONY MENESES
Prosperous Southwestern rancher Andres Salazar is in a brutally challenging race for Congress in the year 2050. When his own sense of humanity runs up against his stated political platform, the stakes couldn’t be higher: is compromising his sense of identity worth the potential benefits? And what’s to be done with this mysterious stranger who’s suddenly stumbled onto his ranch?

It's fantastical, fangirl-worthy, and it's F-R-E-E! It's Metro District Comedy's improv comedy show, brought to you by Club 509 at CBD American Shaman and Kava Bar!
We're excited to welcome you back to Kava Bar's Club 509 in downtown Fayetteville at 8 p.m. on the second Saturday of every month for an improv show unlike any other in the region! The only thing we need to perform is... You! That's right! We welcome all--the variety of world experiences and perspectives can help make a whole new world... Never to be seen again!
