LIVE MUSIC IN ARKANSAS: Musician Randall Shreve sets Benton, Conway shows

Randall Shreve is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and high-tech one-man show from Fayetteville who also does a wildly popular Freddie Mercury tribute on occasion. Tonight at Valhalla in Benton you can catch the show, which “features the artist looping multiple instruments together giving the audience the experience of watching a song being created from scratch,” according to his website, randallshreve.com. Friday night, Shreve makes his way to Conway for another show at Kings Live Music. See listing for details. Shreve released a new single, “Pretty Little Freaks,” on March 10 and has a new album on the way as well. (Special to the Democrat-Gazette)
