FYI 2018 Peacemaker Schedule

July 27

6 p.m. — Gates open

7 p.m. — Paul Thorn: Mixing Southern rock, country, Americana and blues, singer/songwriter Thorn gets back to his gospel roots with his 11th studio release “Don’t Let the Devil Ride,” out in March.

8:30 p.m. — Anderson East: “Anderson East is somewhat of a different style of performer,” festival co-founder Trent Goins says. “It depends on how you look him up. Some classify him as R&B, some classify him as blues and some classify him as country. So Anderson brings a really big dynamic for the festival this year.”

10 p.m. — Rival Sons: California rockers Rival Songs capture the massive, guitar-driven classic rock sound with a touch of blues, evoking icons like Led Zeppelin and the Black Crowes, while “fizzing with freshness” says BBC.

July 28

4:30 p.m. — Gates open

5:30 p.m. — Ray Wylie Hubbard: Known for his cheeky writing and vivid narratives, Americana singer/songwriter Hubbard returns to Arkansas once again, just as he does in the opening line of “Lucifer and the Fallen Angels” from latest album “Tell the Devil I’m Getting There As Fast as I Can,” where he informs the listener “I run over a squirrel in Arkansas…” 7 p.m. — Funky Meters

8:30 p.m. — The Cadillac Three

10 p.m. — Grace Potter: “And of course, Fort Smith loves Grace Potter,” Goins declares. “She only has four dates on her calendar this year, and for her to sign up to play the Peacemaker, we feel like that’s indicative of the relationship our community has with some of the big-time artists out there touring today.”
