Adam Faucett, along with opening acts The Atomicons and Charlotte Taylor, will perform at 4:30 p.m. Saturday as part of the next installment of Music in the Wild, an outdoor, socially distanced concert series in The Butler Gazebo at Wildwood Park for the Arts, 20919 Denny Road, Little Rock. See wildwoodpark.org for details and to buy general admission tickets for $15.

Faucett, a native Arkansan, has released five albums since his debut CD, "The Great Basking Shark," came out in 2007. In June 2019, he had surgery due to a vocal cord cyst, which resulted in a long period when he could not sing or speak.

"I'll be playing new and old songs," Faucett says of the Saturday show. "I'm currently working on a brand new record and will be playing songs off of it that have never been played live before."

Take blankets and/or chairs; concessions will be available for donations. In the event of rain, the show will be moved to Wildwood's Pavilion.
