Medical Marijuana Benefit Slated for Favored LR Nightspot

Little Rock, AR: In a special holiday benefit concert, two rising stars in the Arkansas music scene will play at a favored Little Rock nightspot, Juanita’s. The show, scheduled to start at 9 pm on Saturday December 21, features Flip Off Pirates and Underground Muse Project. Proceeds will benefit the Arkansas medical marijuana campaign.

Flip Off Pirates, cutting its teeth on the Dickson Street scene in Fayetteville over the last two years, has built a strong following in Little Rock with its “progressive aggressive modern Ozark Mountain funk junk” music. Underground Muse Project is a bit newer, but already has a dedicated fan base for its mature sound including trumpet in a “hip hop jazz trance fusion roots reggae” style.

“These bands never fail to electrify their audiences with their sheer energy and musical talents,” states Denele Campbell, program coordinator for the Arkansas Alliance for Medical Marijuana. “We’re thrilled to have them for a holiday program when people can take a little time to go out with their friends and family to have some fun and support a good cause – this promises to be a sell-out event.”

Cover price is $6 at the door. Alliance volunteers will staff an information table and sell t-shirts, stickers, and raffle items. Juanita’s is located at 1300 S. Main, Little Rock. For more information, contact the Alliance at 501-227-5161.
