On this edition of Ozarks, take three musicians who all live in different cities and have never played together, put them in a room for a day and then cut that first rehearsal short because one of the musicians' parked car is hit. Then, they play their first gig the next day. That’s what happened as the trio Piano and Drums came to the Firmin-Garner Performance Studio. We'll hear how their improbable story turned into a band. Plus, one of the state's most popular news blogs is going behind a paywall. Kyle talks to Alan Leveritt, the publisher of the Arkansas Times, about the changing face of digital journalism.
The trio Piano and Drums is just that…but more. Formed by Fayetteville-based drummer Nate Wong who recruited his friends Jonah Wei-Hass and Yaniv Taubenhouse, will perform two concerts in the region this weekend. The efforts to restore Johnny Cash’s boyhood home in eastern Arkansas are paying off.
