Party at the Plaza The Main Event

Everyone is welcome to an afternoon and evening of music from top local, regional and national acts from the Plaza Mainstage! Bring your lawn chair, a hearty appetite for a host of the area’s top food trucks, and be ready to dance! Between acts, we will take a few moments to cool off and reflect on the mission of Arkansas Hospice, as we present the Compass Award. Let the good times roll!

Our Grammy Award Winning Headliner

Rebirth Brass Band

7:45 – 9:15p.m.

“just saw THE REBIRTH BRASS BAND, unbelievable. hard as hell, free as a ray of light, there is not a band on earth that is better. stunning.” – Flea, Red Hot Chili Peppers

For almost 4 decades, the Grammy winning Rebirth Brass Band has been “stunning” fans with a fiery live show and a rich musical catalog. Their trademark sound pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while weaving a tapestry that combines elements of jazz, funk, soul, R&B and the sounds from the streets they grew up on. From their legendary 25+ year run of Tuesday nights at the Maple Leaf to stages all over the world, Rebirth is the soundtrack of the Crescent City and her premier musical ambassador.

The band’s unique “soundtrack of New Orleans” has also garnered admiration from artists of all genres. They’ve shared the stage and collaborated with everyone from the Grateful Dead to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maceo Parker, Green Day, U2, James Brown, 311, G-Love, MuteMath, Juvenile, Train, Big Freedia, Ani Difranco, Galactic, Allen Touisant, Neville Brothers, Quincy Jones and Trombone Shorty.
