FRIDAY 7/3
Longtime local post-punk heroes the Moving Front headline at White Water. It could be guitarist Mark Lewis' last show. He's moving to Austin in August. Stella Fancy opens up, 10 p.m., $5.
Local label Thick Syrup showcases its talent at Sticky Fingerz with garage-folk miscreants Frown Pow'r sharing a bill with country rockers the Drunken Angels and pop singer/songwriter Bryan Frazier, 9 p.m., $5.
At the Afterthought, local party band Tragikly White plays songs you know, 9 p.m., $7.
Crash Meadows, the latest incarnation of the group formerly known as the Dean Agus Band, plays Ya Ya's new music series, 8 p.m., free.
For cruise-minded staycationers, the Arkansas Riverboat Queen offers a Reggae Boat Cruise, with DJs K-One, Ras Levi and Hy-C, 10 p.m., $20 adv., $25 at gate.
SATURDAY 7/4
The Clinton Center Fourth of July Celebration includes music, kids' activities and free admission to its space exhibit, 9 a.m. (for indoor activities) and 4 p.m. (for outdoor), free.
At Magic Springs Timberwood Concert Series, country star Craig Morgan offers hits like “That's What I Love About Sunday” and “Redneck Yacht Club,” 8 p.m., $35.99-$45.99 (park admission).
At Sticky Fingerz, Memphis' acrobatic rockabillies the Dempseys return to town, 8 p.m., $7.
Local folk singer Chris Denny and his ultra-tight backing band play White Water Tavern, 9 p.m.
At Discovery, Justin Sane mans the disco, while Balance works the lobby, midnight, $10.
Soul duo Ramona Smith and Carl Mouton share the stage at the Afterthought, 9 p.m., $7.
At the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum, Damn Bullets play a fund-raiser for Women's Action for New Directions (WAND), which hosts a picnic with a great view of the fireworks, 7 p.m., $25. Earlier, at the Historic Arkansas Museum, there's a Frontier Fourth of July celebration with arts and crafts and more, 2-4 p.m., free.
SAVOIR FAIRE
9 p.m., the Peabody. $5.
The Peabody's RiverTop Party switches it up again on Friday. Savoir Faire brings together what's become the necessary elements of any local sophisticated get-down: a fashion show, DJs and live music. The fashion show features clothes by local designer Missy Lipps and from local boutique Magpie and Birdie. The Cool Shoes crew — Deeter, Shawn Lee and Risky Biz — provide the soundtrack. DJ IKE (“I Kill Eternally”) mans the ones and twos, too. Suga City, the Stuttgart-and-Pine Bluff-bred rap duo of Arkansas Bo and Goines, should figure into any conversation about the finest rap talent in the state. Lately, they've hardly performed and not released any new material. Here's hoping this is the beginning of a productive period. Cameron Holifield, Cool Shoes' resident video collagist, beams bright, mostly abstract video, which he says will take a new direction this go round, for those who need a little visual distraction. Admission is free before 9 p.m.
