Friday, July 19 (Bentonville, AR) - This week, 3X Grammy Award-winners Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the critically acclaimed, genre bending Lake Street Dive rocked the Momentary’s Live on the Green outdoor music series. The Momentary, Bentonville’s newest cultural hub, has become a coveted performance destination for Grammy winners and rising artists across all genres. 

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band performed Sunday night as part of their Farewell Tour and played all of their greatest hits, including crowd favorite, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken,” from their 1972 album of the same name. Lake Street Dive, who have been praised by critics from the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Associated Press, and more, performed on Wednesday night to an energetic and full crowd who weathered a rain storm during the set.

Live on the Green kicked off in April with a show stopping performance by Oscar and Grammy Award-winner, Jon Batiste, and also featured a special concert by 12X Grammy Award-winner, John Legend. The John Legend show was extra special for the Bentonville community as it took place in the wake of the region’s devastating tornadoes. 

Live on the Green is set to continue throughout the summer with performances by Slash (August 16), deadmau5 (August 24), TLC & Shaggy (September 6), Gary Clark Jr. (September 7), Patti LaBelle & Gladys Knight (September 13), Omar Apollo (September 24), and Kaskade (September 27).

Lawn chairs will be permitted at most Live on the Green concerts, with the exceptions of Deadmau5, Kaskade and TLC & Shaggy, where a limited number of chairs will be available for guests who need specific accommodations. 

Tickets for all Live on the Green shows can be purchased at https://themomentary.org/.
