The second season of the "Live at the Five and Dime" outdoor concert series in Bentonville continues on Wednesday, May 29th with Hogtown Hot Club, featuring Jim Greeson, Ed Nicholson, Jim Jernigan, and Mike Johnson. The group's music focuses on Parisian swing jazz of the 1930's and 40's. The series is free, and concerts are every Wednesday night from 6-8 p.m. outside the Walmart Museum on the Bentonville square.  

"Live at the Five and Dime" features 25 concerts from April 24th to October 9th. The concerts are a collaboration between the University of Arkansas Department of Music, the Walmart Museum, and Downtown Bentonville, Inc. The performances feature faculty, students and other artists connected to the Department of Music at the University of Arkansas, and overlap partly with the Wednesday Farmer's Market on the Bentonville Square. A full listing of the season's series can be found at music.uark.edu.
