Free, family-friendly outdoor concerts featuring an array of musical talents, artists, and genres.
Fort Smith, ARK (September 3, 2024) – The Levitt AMP Fort Smith Music Series is in full swing, and the excitement continues this Friday, September 6, with the electrifying sounds of Eric Johanson. A roots-rock innovator and modern-day guitar hero, Johanson brings his edgy, blues-infused sound to the Riverfront Amphitheater. With a newly released album, The Deep and the Dirty, that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts, Johanson is set to deliver a powerful performance that blends roadhouse roots-rock with dark, bluesy Americana. The series runs every Friday through September 27 at 6 PM, so gather your family, friends, and neighbors, and join us as we celebrate the power of music to bring our community together!
