After a long hiatus, the best-selling Irish pop-rock band is about to return with a new album called Roses. But if this performance at the NPR Music offices is any indication, the group isn't afraid to dip into its arsenal of early hits.

The Alexandria Museum of Art is starting a weekly green market in its parking lot, featuring the organic produce grown at Inglewood Plantation. The market is Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The first ever conference devoted to the preservation of folk art will be held in Natchitoches Feb. 15-16. It's put on by the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training.
