The Butler Creek Boys, a bluegrass-Southern gospel group from Siloam Springs, Arkansas, will perform in concert at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, at First Baptist Church of Arkadelphia, 116 N. 7th St.

Admission is free, but a love offering will be collected. The public is invited to attend.

A festival favorite in Northwest Arkansas and beyond, the Butler Creek Boys will arrive in Arkadelphia fresh off an appearance at the Southern Gospel Picnic on Aug. 29 in Branson, Missouri’s Silver Dollar City.

Three of the group’s six members — brothers Dustin Butler, Austin Butler and Dillon Butler — are part of the eighth generation of Butlers to live and farm on Butler Creek, located near the Fairmount community east of Siloam Springs. Joining the brothers, also from the Siloam Springs area, are Nick Braschler and Tanner Andrews. The group, performing in its current lineup since 2018, is known for its tight harmonies, energetic stage presence and heart-felt performances.

“We have a blast with it,” Austin Butler said in a 2020 interview with the Siloam Springs Herald-Leader. “That’s why we’re doing it. We’re lucky that people like to listen to it because we have so much fun just getting together.”

First Baptist Church’s Sanctuary Choir, led by Alex Favazza, director of worship ministries, will join the quintet Sept. 6 on two of the group’s Southern gospel favorites. The concert will be held in the FBC Sanctuary, which has its main entrance on Eighth Street. Handicap-accessible parking is available on the south side of the church.
