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.

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. […]

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