The Murphy Arts District is working to fill a headlining slot for MusicFest 2021, while fielding calls from agents and promoters who are eager to book shows as the economy continues to open up and coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions ease.
Pamela Griffin, president and chief executive officer of MAD, told the El Dorado Advertising and Promotion Commission last week that MAD is wading through options to replace hip-hop legends Snoop Dogg and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, both of whom were set to anchor the Saturday night leg of MusicFest XXXIV.
The festival is set for Oct. 1 and 2 and will be presented by MAD and Main Street El Dorado, who launched MusicFest in 1988.
Since the opening of MAD in 2017, the two nonprofit groups have teamed up to coordinate MusicFest.
MAD books the musical headliners, who perform in venues within the entertainment complex, and MSE handles the “festival” portion of the event with attractions, vendors, live music and other activities surrounding the Union County Courthouse Square, which is two blocks north of MAD.
This year, MSE activities will be held Oct. 2.
Snoop Dogg and Bone Thugs were originally slated for a performance in El Dorado in April 2020.
However, due to the public health crisis — which began showing up in El Dorado Union County just over a month prior to the show —, MAD rescheduled the concert for October 2020.
The concert was shuffled again when COVID cases began to spike last fall and Snoop and company were moved to MusicFest 2021.
In early June, MAD announced that country music star Frank Foster, who has performed in El Dorado several times over the years, would kick off the 34th annual MusicFest on Oct. 1.
News of the Snoop and Bone Thugs cancellation came nearly three weeks later.
On July 7, Griffin told A&P commissioners that MAD is wading through several options to determine which performer(s) would be a good fit for MusicFest, adding that organizers hope to make an announcement within the next few weeks.
“We are working on that. I’ve already had two conversations with an agent this morning so we’re working on that as fast as we can,” Griffin said.
In the meantime, shows are regularly being added to an already full calendar for the remainder of 2021.
Mule Kick
Griffin referred to another recent announcement about an upcoming event that has been planned in the fall at MAD.
A new restaurant, Mule Kick @ MAD, is expected to open its doors in the space that formerly housed the Griffin Restaurant, which shuttered operations in March 2020 due to COVID-19 and did not reopen.
The Griffin opened in 2017 with the launch of MAD and several other venues — including what is now the First Financial Music Hall, the MAD Amphitheater, the newly reconfigured Oil Heritage Park and the MAD Farmers’ Market — within the entertainment complex.
The restaurant specialized in farm-to-table and specialty dining with a distinctly southern flair and offered free, live entertainment from an indoor cabaret stage.
Griffin told A&P commissioners that Mule Kick, which is based in Magnolia, will continue that tradition by taking over food and beverage operations at MAD with its signature menu that includes pizzas, wings, locally-sourced craft beer and entertainment, such as trivia night.
“I think they’re going to be a great fit for us from a cultural standpoint and from a public standpoint. They know our audience, they know the region and they are excited and full of energy,” Griffin said.
She said an onsite job fair to fill “lots of” positions at Mule Kick is set for Friday and Saturday. Candidates may also apply online at www.mulekickatmad.com.
Griffin said minor renovations are under way in the dining room, adding that Mule Kick is expected to open within six to eight weeks.
“We’ll, hopefully, hire some folks and get some folks trained and we’ll have a more specific date in the future,” she said.
Commissioner Paul Choate, who also serves on the El Dorado City Council, asked if Mule Kick will expand its menu offerings in its new location, saying that he has received similar inquiries from local residents.
When Griffin replied yes, Choate asked, “Do we any kind of an idea of what that’s going to look like?”
“We do. We do. I stop short to share it because it’s ever-evolving and changing and that’s one thing that I like about their business plan, as well, is that they do give you reviews every three months,” Griffin said.
“Things that are not selling come off the menu and things that are selling stay on. It will be a rotating menu,” she continued.
Steak, chicken and salmon will be part of general entree options and will complement menu items the Mule Kick is traditionally known for, Griffin said.
She also said Mule Kick’s food preparation abilities have been greatly increased at MAD, thanks to because of a large, “well-equipped” kitchen.
“So hosted events are back on the menu?” asked Commissioner Don Miller.
“Yes, they’ll be doing hosted-events catering, as well — which we’ve been doing some limited hosted events with outside caterers but we will have an in-house caterer back, as well as concessions” Griffin replied.
For the past couple of months, Mule Kick has been trying out ideas and recipes for concession items to find out which will be best suited for a MAD crowd, Griffin told commissioners.
