Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones will perform at 10 p.m. Saturday at Four Quarter Bar. Admission is $7.

Billed as the Northeast's "premier roots rock 'n' roll rockabilly twang outfit," Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones are just starting a 36-stop tour that brings them to North Little Rock then on to Texas, California and beyond in support of their latest album, Love You to Life.

The road has been home to the band a lot lately. In 2018, they traveled Europe and the United States, where they opened for six weeks for The Brian Setzer Orchestra. What's more, the band plans to release another new album in 2020.
