LIVE MUSIC IN ARKANSAS: Amie & The Slingerz will bring the heat to Spa City’s Big Chill

Amie Bishop, vocals, songwriter, manager (clockwise from bottom); Darin Williams, percussion; Dan Schoultz, bass, backing vocals, vocals; and Matt Stone, lead guitar, make up the band Amie & The Slingerz. The band performs Friday and Saturday night shows at The Big Chill in Hot Springs this weekend. Bishop says fans can expect original music after Oct. 18 when they record with Jason Tedford at Wolfman Studios. Also look for the band’s “Little Talks of Monsters and Men,” which they recorded for an Arkansas-based film called “When the Stairs Creak.” The film will be “in festivals in October,” Bishop said.
