Oklahoma City-based artist, graphic designer and everyone’s favorite Mule bartender Jason Pawley hopped in the van at last week’s Live on the Plaza to discuss his art and striving to be a full-time artist.
Make sure to come out this Friday for another great Live on the Plaza.
Check out this upbeat, poppy ditty from Oklahoma City-native Allie Lauren.
Lauren is living in Arkansas but she’s still determined to play at home. She’s even got a gig this week at RAW: Oklahoma City.
We promise her performance will be twice as infectious and fan as her kazoo solo.
After his bus broke down and a killer snowstorm, Tulsa-native hip hopper Johnny Polygon performed a track off of his new album “The Nothing.”
A special thank you to Kerry Myers for making this happen.
Norman-native artist Jamie Pettis hopped in the van at Live on the Plaza to discuss her passion and what it’s like to miss Oklahoma.
Imagine a runaway train barreling toward you.
Now what if that same was mewing?
That’s sort of how the VDub crew felt when Black Canyon hopped into the Spy Van.
Known for rowdy and raucous live shows, the OKC-based band is no stranger to volume. Frontman Jake Morisse’s hearty laugh is evidence enough.
So, we were pleasantly surprised to hear a softer side to Black Canyon. “Weary Hands” is as warm and genuine as the scratches in your favorite record.
Black Canyon will turn things up this Saturday as they release a new album alongside Beau Jennings & The Tigers.
Don’t miss out.
OKC-based rapper aDDLib joined the list of impressive hip hop acts that have performed inside of the Spy Van.
His crew slowed things down and performed a sentimental tune complete with beats and backup singers.

Tallows has issues.
It’s nothing the quartet can’t handle though. For their VDub Session, the band wanted to use a drum machine. It was much too quiet for the rattle of the van. Solution? Drummer Jay Sullivan duct taped his leg with bells. Richard Lindsey wanted to play xylophone. Sadly, mallets are expensive. Diagnosis? Spoons work just as well.
It’s with sincerity that we present this recently developed Okie band. Tallows’ inginuity, sense of humor and humility are going to go a long way.
We always have our ears open to new bands, and it’s always a treat when they exceed our expectations.
Keep your eyes on this group.
It’s an issue your ears will appreciate.

We’ve been holding on to this episode in the VDub archives for far too long.
Say hello to the bluesy tune Feathered Rabbit performed for us way before they released their excellent self-titled EP.
Oh, and don’t forget to thank Full Circle Bookstore for letting us hang out for a quick rehearsal.

We welcomed our first photographer to be interviewed for our monthly Artist Sessions.
On the second Friday of November, Okie native Ashford Ravenscroft Thomson hopped into the Spy Van and discussed his passion for photography.
If you haven’t experienced Live on the Plaza for yourself then make sure to check it out tomorrow.
Austin-based rockers What Made Milwaukee Famous visited VZD’s, and they greeted us with this fun and funny session.
