ASU Museum presents

Rockabilly! The Northeast Arkansas Story

Teens living in the 1950s learned to dip, dive and jive to the raucous Rockabilly sound! Now, you can come and learn all about the music that grew up in your back yard at ASU Museum's newest Exhibit, Rockabilly! The Northeast Arkansas Story. On Thursday, August 15, 2019 from 5:30  to 7:00 PM, ASU Museum teams up with KASU to celebrate the opening of this exciting exhibit!

This exhibit was funded by proceeds from ASU Museum's 2013 and 2014 Rockabilly Boogiefest concerts, individual donations, the Museum's own members, and by ASU Museum itself.

For more information, contact Curator of Education, Jill Kary at jkary@astate.edu or by calling 870-972-2074.
