¡Arkie Opteryx Arises!

   After working for over a year on The Mal Arkies album we can proudly say it is in the works. With such a large band its hard to keep all the pieces static. Life often presents factors that keep the shape of the things fluid. 

    The band taking an indefinite hiatus after wrapping the album was the perfect opportunity to go back to my roots with my Folk trio with OG members of 'The Arkies'. Feeling like the old name needed a fresh spin for this reinvestment in ourselves. 

   Thus 'Arkie Opteryx' was born. 

As a blessing from the Folk music gods we had the opportunity to play one of our original tunes too a crowd of Northwest Arkansas' talented folk musicians. We couldn't have been more pleased. If the nerves weren't high enough for our debut performance as Arkie Opteryx we quickly realized we would also be performing after and in front of the legendary ' Trout Fishing In America" long time heros and musical inspiration to all of us. 

 Arkie Opteryx plan on reuniting with parts of the old operation in the near future to bring you more music, more art, and more community building. Until then we'll keep striving to be the best versions of ourselves we can be.
