Keep your eyes peeled for this session with OKC’s own Horse Thief.
Edmond-based artist Tiffany Edwards hopped into a green 1977 Vanagon and shared her artwork with the VDub crew.
The original music you hear is by Derek Knowlton of The Pretty Black Chains.
Here’s the Vimeo version of this video if you are into that sort of thing.
You’re not going to find a hotter band in this country.
But that’s mostly because Dallas-based rockers Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights decided to play in OKC in the midst of the hottest summer in the our planet’s history.
However, JTNL is toasty warm in other ways too.
We mean career wise.
The band recently got off of a blistering tour with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and the Texans are working on a Fall tour.
The VDub crew was lucky enough to grab JTNL just long enough for the band to bust out a brand new unreleased tune. As soon as the song was done, everyone bolted out of the van.
It wasn’t because of Ferris’ driving, it was because the van become an inferno.
If you don’t believe how hot it was, watch closely because throughout the new episode and you’ll see beads of sweat dripping off of drummer Jordan Cain.
BTW, Jordan has a sweet knuckle tat.
He was hanging out in the top of the camper portion of the van.
We told you this band was hot.
Get used to it.
Here’s the Vimeo link if you are a big shot fancy pants video person.
One of our most popular episodes of VDub Sessions is with Stillwater’s Other Lives.
Now the quintet has gone and made themselves all amazing on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert music show.
Make sure to watch to the third song, “Dust Bowl III.”
Now, see it inside a rad VW van.
If you’ve ever watched one of our many VDub Sessions, then you know this film trailer is an exact reflection of what our drivers go through to ready themselves to get behind the wheel of the Vanagon.
This episode might just punch in your corn chewers.
Prepare yourself for Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights.
Coming soon to a laptop near you.
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.
The line between music and art gets a little more blurry thanks to Moses White.
The Oklahoma City-based artist visited with us at Live on the Plaza last month, and he shared his artwork in the Spy Wagon.
Give the episode a look see to learn how White combines his two loves.
Here’s the link to the Vimeo version if you’re into that sort of thing.
