On the fourth Monday night of each month, KASU presents the "Bluegrass Monday" concert series at the Collins Theatre, 120 West Emerson Street, in downtown Paragould. Shows begin at 7:00 p.m.
The concerts feature acclaimed bluegrass musicians from across the country. Past performers include Chris Jones, Larry Stephenson, Valerie Smith, Nothin' Fancy, Eddie & Martha Adcock, Kenny & Amanda Smith, Jeanette Williams, the Little Roy & Lizzy Show, the Farm Hands, the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band, David Parmley, Special Consensus, Monroe Crossing, and many more.
