Melissa Carper is a one-of-a-kind voice in American roots music. With a sound that blends classic country, western swing, soul, jazz, and blues, her music feels both timeless and fresh. A skilled upright bassist and powerhouse vocalist, Melissa draws comparisons to greats like Loretta Lynn and Billie Holiday - earning her the nickname “Hillbilly Holiday.”
Originally from Nebraska, Melissa spent years living and performing in Eureka Springs, where she found community and creative inspiration. She’s known for co-founding groups like The Carper Family, Sad Daddy, and Buffalo Gals with fiddler Rebecca Patek. Her years in Eureka’s music scene helped shape the storytelling style and vintage flair that define her solo work today.
Her breakthrough solo album Daddy’s Country Gold introduced fans to her signature blend of vulnerability and wit, with standout tracks like “Old Fashioned Gal.” She followed it with Ramblin’ Soul - a bold, genre-crossing record that earned national acclaim. Her most recent release, Borned In Ya, continues that evolution with lush arrangements and even deeper emotional resonance.
Melissa’s songs are heartfelt, often humorous, and always honest - a perfect fit for Fall Diversity Weekend, where storytelling, identity, and community take center stage. Join us for this unforgettable performance from an artist whose roots run deep in Eureka Springs.

Most of us live in Fayetteville but know little about the city’s early history— its founding, its growth, and the people who helped shape it. In this program, retired history professor and former academic dean Georgena Duncan returns to her roots in historical research with a focus on early Fayetteville. Drawing from her current research, she will guide participants through the city’s development from 1828 to 1865.

The program will introduce the fascinating and often complex individuals who played key roles in Fayetteville’s early years—settlers, slave owners, farmers, merchants, and politicians—many of whom helped establish the Fayetteville Square as a center of community life. Participants will also learn how the city grew steadily through the antebellum period, only to be devastated by the Civil War.

Settle in and discover the early story of Fayetteville from someone passionate about both the subject and the city itself.

From August 1992 to April 1995, three tragic and high-profile events—Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the Oklahoma City bombing— captured the attention of the nation, as federal forces clashed with U.S. civilians. These incidents, often tied together in media coverage, are marked by themes of freedom, religion, and guns. John Powers, a Lifelong Learning program educator, will delve deeper into the individuals involved and the decision-making processes that escalated these confrontations, leading to devastating loss and destruction in the heart of America. With the benefit of 30 years of perspective, we’ll move beyond the headlines and explore the complexities of these events, uncovering the broader social and political forces at play. Join us for a thought-provoking examination of a pivotal period in U.S. history, where we seek to understand the true causes and consequences of these tragic moments.
