Turnbow Park is "somewhere to be" on June 30.

Arkansauce, Northwest Arkansas' favorite genre-hopping, bluegrass, newgrass, Americana, folk foursome will play during the LIVE! @ Turnbow Concert Series. According to arkansaucemusic.com, the guys will then be on the road with their next local appearance scheduled for September. Back in March, mandolin player Ethan Bush said that they were slowly working on a new album and some surprise covers.

"On the first four albums, we kind of just prepared everything and went in to a studio and knocked it all out in like three days time. Which is really good for the instant gratification, but it also always felt a little more stressful than we would like," Bush says. "Hopefully we'll see that we'll be finished with it towards the end of this year, but be ready to release it early next year."

Keep an eye on Arkansauce's website and social media to find out what's next.

Opening for the string quartet on June 30 are The Mountain Gypsies from southern Madison County. The three-piece family band plays a variety of acoustic instruments and styles. The mother, father and daughter will play a rescheduled show at 23N Farm & Horticulture in Huntsville on July 9 and will be at Six Twelve Coffeeshop in Fayetteville on Aug. 10.

VIP seating is available for the June 30 concert at 106 W. Emma Ave. in Springdale. VIP tables accommodating 10 guests can be reserved in advance. Food and drink is included. Tickets at downtownspringdale.org. LIVE! at Turnbow takes place on the last Thursday of the month through October. All concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. In the event of inclement weather all postponed concerts will be rescheduled to the following Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Jukebox Confession will headline the next concert on July 28.
