In our first episode of Points South Live, pop string band Front Country plays live from BlakeSt in Bentonville, Arkansas, and chats with Bryan Hembree (Smokey and the Mirror), co-founder of the Fayetteville Roots Festival.

Points South Live is a collaboration between Oxford American and Fayetteville Roots that features live music recorded pre-COVID. We’ll be releasing several of these performances and conversations as bonus episodes of Points South, to bring the live music to you.

Front Country is Melody Walker (vocals, guitar, percussion), Jacob Groopman (guitar, resophonic guitar, mandolin, vocals), Adam Roszkiewicz (mandolin, banjo, vocals), and P.J. George (bass). Their latest single, “The Reckoning,” is available now.
