This week’s headliner for the Friday Night Block Party is the band NRG. Music and activities will begin at 7 Friday night on the courthouse square in downtown Mountain Home. The event is free to the public and all are welcome.NRG was founded in 2010 when its youngest members were 7 and 8 years old. Since then, NRG has played numerous fairs, festivals and fundraisers throughout southwest Missouri and Arkansas.The group’s music covers over four decades of top hits of classic rock, pop, country and appeals to young and old alike.
The band is made up of two brothers, two sisters and John Michael, the “orphan.”
Erich Campbell plays guitar and Sean Campbell plays drums, with both singing.
John Michael Juda plays bass, with Carli Allen singing and Kiri Allen also singing and playing keyboards.
This young talented group is writing its own songs as well, and in 2018, won second place in the Southwest Missouri Amateur Songwriter’s Contest. Some will recognize members of NRG from shows in Branson.
This week’s block party is sponsored by River Lodge Assisted Living.
A number of food vendors will be on hand selling their specialties, including barbecue, tacos, homemade cream soda, cupcakes, funnel cakes, kettle corn and lemonade, and the Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society will be selling ice cream sundaes.
All attendees will have a chance to win door prizes during the band’s intermission.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs when they come out to enjoy what has become a summer tradition.
