Conway Scene Weekly: June 11, 2021
Here is the latest Conway Scene Weekly for June 11, 2021. Have a great week! Covid changed a lot of things last year. For one, it all but eliminated live music. We were, however, provided some live stream performances, but overall, the live music was stalled. One such event was Freedom Fest. Each year we celebrate July 4th at Beaverfork Lake at the annual Freedom Fest. Well, in 2021, Freedom Fest is returning! Learn more about Freedom Fest in 2021. Another event that has returned is Round Mountain Coffee’s Friday Night Jams. The first jam featured local musician Tyler “TC” […]
TC Poole Music: TC provides the funk and groove to his online crowd
I missed it for over a year. Live music. To their credit, many musicians did online shows to help us during our time locked down. So, this past Friday, I scurried down to the returning Friday Night Jams at Round Mountain Coffee. I just knew that someone was playing, even if I didn’t know who he was. I enjoyed listening to Tyler Poole’s unique sound that he calls lofi. He has a funky groovy style. So, if you are looking to hear something drastically different than the usual pop, rock, and country music, Tyler is the guy to listen to. […]

In the past, we’ve held our event on the Saturday near the holiday but never on an actual day.” […]

A couple of months ago, they opened the second location in downtown Conway. The owners […]
