LIVE MUSIC IN ARKANSAS

Brian Nahlen Band to perform at The Busker in Little Rock

Singer-songwriter Brian Nahlen — shown here in a self-created photo illustration — and his band grace the stage at 8 p.m. Friday at the newly renamed and rebranded establishment formerly known as South on Main in Little Rock. The club is now called The Busker. The band's live performances are said to showcase each player's skills and no two gigs are the same.
