Sad Daddy — Father’s Day weekend has come and gone. But Sad Daddy forges ahead. The Americana group started back in 2010, releasing a self-titled album. But distance kept musicians from making it a full-time endeavor — until recently, that is. The Eureka Springs-based group has a new record in the works, and tour dates are also lined up, including a pair of local dates this weekend. Catch the band at 7:30 p.m. today at the Fayetteville Underground and at 9 p.m. Saturday at Chelsea’s Corner Cafe in Eureka Springs. Details can be found at saddaddyband.com.
