Singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis is performing two concerts Saturday night in Jonesboro. This "songwriter's songwriter" has recorded 10 albums of songs that include "You Move Me" which was recorded by Garth Brooks. Pettis will appear in concert Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at TheArts@311 on South Church in Jonesboro, just south of the intersection of Huntington and Church. He will present a second set of songs at 9:00 pm with seating preference given to those who weren't able to get seats for the earlier set.

The Arts@311 presents an Arkansas Premiere of "Ain't In It For My Health: A Film about Levon Helm".  KASU's Marty Scarbrough has more in this Spotlight on the Arts feature.

Geronimo was a prominent leader of the Bedonkohe Apache who fought against Mexico and the United States for their expansion into Apache tribal lands for several decades during the Apache Wars. "Geronimo" was the name given to him during a battle with Mexican soldiers.  In this Spotlight on the Arts, KASU's Marty Scarbrough talks with a familiar voice on KASU, Dr. Bill Clements.  Dr. Clements wrote a book on Geronimo, which is featured in this report. 

Five concerts featuring the works of Dr. David Maslanka will be held at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro.  Marty Scarbrough tells more in this Spotlight on the Arts interview. 

The production Schoolhouse Rock Live! takes place at the Forum in Downtown Jonesboro.  KASU's Marty Scarbrough talks with the Foundation of the Arts Community Development Director Kristi Pulliam about this performance and other activities during this Spotlight on the Arts feature.
