Well. We’re pretty speechless this morning!
And the list of “thank yous” feels very long!
You guys really showed up last night. Big Smith and Sad Daddy, The Auditorium staff, volunteers, friends, local businesses, auction bidders, auction item donors and a sell-out crowd of almost 1000 ticket purchasers!
THANK YOU!
We are encouraged. And invigorated. And we can feel something good taking off with our mission!
Thank you for stomping your feet and hugging each of us and singing along and hiking up and down those stairs last night! You made that really special, and a TON of fun!

We’re tying up all our last minute bows and ribbons for tomorrow, and just picked up these last minute gorgeous silent auction items! We cannot thank our friends enough!
Our Ozark community really showed up for tomorrow, friends! And we can’t wait to see you in Eureka Springs, Arkansas ! The last few dozen unsold tickets are available on our website! If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is your chance!

Have you been by Gotahold Brewing yet? These folks sure know how to show up for a cause!
They have donated Pilsners and IPAs to our show Saturday night, and the proceeds from those beer sales go directly to our fundraising efforts!
Thanks for your support, guys! 🫶

We spent a gorgeous day yesterday in Eureka Springs, Arkansas hugging old friends, and collecting items for our silent auction Saturday!
Eureka sure knows how to show up! Hand painted bowls, gift cards to restaurants and shops, paintings, pottery, and so many incredibly cool items made with love and thought…🥹
We’re so excited to have a Eureka Night this weekend! We’ve got a few tickets left! But they’re almost gone!

The amount of support our community is showing for this benefit concert has been amazing! One of the first people who stepped up when he heard about our live show was Samuel Hale.
He’ll be painting live during the event on Saturday at The Aud, and if you like what he’s painting, you can buy a raffle ticket (or 6!) for a drawing on stage to take home his piece!
We don’t want to spoil the surprise yet, but we’re sure you’re going to love what he’s creating.
Biggest thanks, Sam Hale! Thanks for bringing your magic!

Big 👏👏👏 to Arkansas Democrat-Gazette / ArkansasOnline.com for sharing all the details for us!
We hope you’ll join us in at The Auditorium next Saturday in Eureka Springs, for great music by Big Smith & Sad Daddy, an amazing silent auction, and a few surprises throughout the night!

"Ozark Shine," the latest album by jazzy jug band Sad Daddy, overflows with jovial singalongs, laid-back melodies, at least one barn burner and a murder ballad. Then, near the end of the 13-song collection comes one of the most poignant moments in the quartet's catalog in "Down in a Hole," led by up...
