TODAY

Ona, along with opening act Adventureland, will perform at 8:30 p.m. today at Stickyz Rock 'n' Roll Chicken Shack in Little Rock. Admission is $12.

Ona is a five-man band formed in 2013 whose members grew up together. The group takes its name from a small town just outside of its base in Huntington, W.Va. The band's first album, American Fiction, released in 2015, was hailed on a music website, vice.com, as "an underrated gem of a rock record ... the perfect document of a band coming out fully formed and confident, with songs so expertly crafted and digestible that they separated themselves from the slew of others who cite Neil Young and Wilco as influences."

The band recently released its second album, Full Moon, Heavy Light, describing themselves on their website as "...a band that could easily deliver an arena show while still retaining the sincerity of the '70s songwriters in their parents' record collections. Wistful songs like 'Summer Candy' and 'Young Forever' are at once timeless and contemporary." The band says that they aimed to make a record that's perfect for intensive listening on headphones as well as mood music for dinner parties with friends.
