Chris DeClerk Band + The Delta Soul Singers

Two Little Rock acts, one stage, an Arkansas sound that runs through the church, the juke joint, and the river bottoms.

Chris DeClerk brings his electric and acoustic guitar work to the festival main stage, drawing on the blues, soul, and Americana lineage of artists like Levon Helm, John Prine, Jerry Garcia, and Eric Clapton. The Delta Soul Singers, a six‑voice Little Rock vocal collective rooted in Delta gospel, soul, and country‑soul fusion, join him for a set that brings the full vocal weight of the Arkansas church tradition to DeClerk’s playing.

The result is the kind of Arkansas night where blues meets gospel meets soul in the same song, and the audience figures out partway through that the line between Sunday morning and Saturday night was never as solid as they thought.
