Seth Freeman

This weekend is the unofficial welcome to summer, what better way to celebrate than a night out?

If you want an early start on the Blues Weekend, The Seth Freeman Band is playing Monday at The Squid and Whale. Seth has taken his blues sound all over the world from here in Arkansas. He has a great sound that you can sample at http://www.myspace.com/thesethfreemanban..., then come out and hear his band play live.

If you want to dance the night away, you could check out DJ Havoc at The Lumberyard Friday night, or dancing at Eureka Live! on Sunday.

There are many choices for karaoke fans, from Henri's Memorial Day Specials, The Lumberyard on Thursdays with Robbie Blender, or Shawbee's, where you can see bikini wrestling first, followed by karaoke and dance.
