Randall Shreve is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist out of Northwest Arkansas. With his soulful vocals and moving melodies, Shreve affects his audiences in a way that has been described as a spiritual experience. While he has toured for over a decade with and without a band, he also takes the “one-man-band show” to the next level. The show features the artist looping multiple instruments together giving the audience the experience of watching a song being created from scratch. His expertise in this process shines in every show. Shreve’s music combines genres in a very unique way. It is a kind of soul music with meaningful lyrics and heartfelt melodies. Some of his songs have a P. T. Barnum-esque quality that rings of circus sideshows, as Shreve was influenced by the circus when his father took him, as a child, to see a circus get set up in his hometown. You won’t see another show quite like Shreve’s. This entertainer is bound to impress even casual concert-goers. Shreve also performs a tribute to Freddy Mercury.

The Edge Motor Museum focuses on preservation over restoration. And we know that cars can tell us something about our past, our present, our world, and ourselves. They are vehicles to history, and reflections of the eras in which they were designed, built, sold, and driven. This museum is not a personal collection of cars. Each automobile is selected based on its historical and cultural significance. We aim to educate every guest about these cars, but also about what was happening around us when they were made. In doing so, we hope to encourage the preservation of current and future automobiles, thereby preserving their stories. All vehicles on display are either owned by the museum or on-loan from an individual, estate, or organization. Visit us today to learn the stories behind some of the world’s most iconic cars.
