Featuring Amy Garland Angel, Charlotte Taylor, Emily Fenton, and King Honey!

Join us Saturday, July 19th for the Arkansas Sounds Songwriter Showcase featuring Amy Garland Angel, Charlotte Taylor, Emily Fenton, and King Honey!

Amy Garland Angel is a songwriter, social worker, mom, wife, community radio d.j. and avid list maker. She started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of nine. As a young girl, she was a regular on Hayride stages and as a teenager, she made her rounds in the Hwy 80 honkytonks of Louisiana with a fake I.D. Garland Angel moved to Arkansas in 1995. During her years in the Natural State, she has become a fixture in the Little Rock music scene, touring the south and surrounding herself with some of the best musicians in the region. Amy hosts the weekly Americana-flavored 'Backroads' radio show on Little Rock’s renowned KABF 88.3 and is the regular host of KUAR’s Arkansas Flyer. 

Charlotte Taylor is a vocalist, songwriter, and blues artist from central Arkansas. Performing with her band, "Charlotte Taylor and Gypsy Rain" across the mid-south, Charlotte has competed in the International Blues Contest making it to the semi-finals. She was awarded an Arkansas Arts Foundation grant for Delta Blues Songwriting.

Emily is an artist from Little Rock, Arkansas with roots in Ithaca and New York City. Her music is born of a desire to connect with others through stories, lyrics, and melodies. An affinity for cut-to-the-chase lyrics and a fascination for psychedelic concept albums led to the creation of her first full-length album, Hello, from Planet Earth. The record, blending elements of classic country, folk, and contemporary indie-rock, heightens a mundane world through the lens of falling in love. The record was recorded at White Water Tavern in the summer of 2022.

King Honey (Dazzmin “Dazz” Murry) is a two-time Emmy-nominated artist, producer, and composer known for her groundbreaking work at the intersection of music, culture, and community. As one half of the acclaimed duo Dazz & Brie, she has earned national recognition for her powerful sound and creative vision, with major sync placements including A Fall From Grace and Nobody’s Fool by Tyler Perry, as well as composing for Face’s Music Party on Nick Jr. and the Emmy-nominated theme song and marketing promotion for Rise and Shine on Arkansas PBS.

Beyond the stage and studio, King Honey is the Executive Director of Creators’ Village, a nonprofit supporting artists and creative entrepreneurs and co-founder of 501FEST, a dynamic festival celebrating Central Arkansas culture through music, food, and community. With every project, she brings an unmatched commitment to creative excellence and cultural impact.
