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.
When something’s simple, it’s usually because someone worked hard to make it that way.
That’s precisely why we think OK Sweetheart deserves attention.
Erin Austin isn’t living in Tulsa anymore, but she still plays in Oklahoma under the moniker OK Sweetheart during her active tour schedule and makes sweet ’60s-inspired pop songs sound as easy as Sunday morning.
If you are in Norman this week and have the means then we highly suggest you visit OK Sweetheart and Brine Webb performing at The Opolis.
It can be a lot of work getting to a show, but you should know OK Sweetheart will make it easy on you.
Check out some photos from the shoot after the jump…
After Ben Kilgore finished his set at the Mustache Bash on Wednesday night, a women in the crowd asked me who had just performed.
(I get this question a lot because of how my jeans fit and because I’m holding a camera at every concert ever.)
When I answered with the name Ben Kilgore, the new fan paused and said, “As soon as I heard his voice, I had to sit down and listen.”
I’m sure this had everything to do with the Tulsa-based singer’s commanding voice.
It’s unreal.
But I was most surprised by Kilgore’s thoughtfulness.
I approached him about performing a quick song in the Spy Wagon, and it seemed like his world stopped for a minute.
He got quiet, as if the songs he knew were battling for position in his head and heart.
I’m glad he picked Otis Redding’s “These Arms of Mine.”
Not only was it a highlight of his set, but also Kanye West/Jay-Z’s track “Otis” is fresh in my mind.
Oddly enough, you can hear one of Kanye’s earliest songs playing in the background near the end of this song.
No matter who’s covering Redding, you’re in for a treat.
On the outskirts of downtown Oklahoma City, a humble gift shop named Shop Good put on a local one-night music festival.
The outcome was phenomenal with roughly 1,000 Okies in attendance.
Fowler VW of Nompton was a sponsor and that means the Spy Wagon was there too.
We couldn’t help but invite headliner and Tulsa singer/songwriter Ben Kilgore (pictured above) into the van for a quick session.
Check back tomorrow for his episode.
