Well, damn. The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma (ACM@UCO) is stepping its festival game up to a seriously strong level this year, reeling in some Oklahoma heavyweights to headline the ACM@UCO Metro Music Fest (formerly known as ACM@UCO Rocks Bricktown) April 10. Among those performing at the downtown OKC festival are BRONCHO, John Fullbright, Horse Thief, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, Jabee, Sardashhh, Shiny Toy Guns, Bowlsey, Rachel Brashear, John Calvin Abney, Kierston White, Celadon City, Willis, Spaceface, Boare, LoneMoon, Them Hounds, Schotty, Aluma, Kaitlin Butts, Matt Stansberry and the Romance, and dozens of others.
There will also be a series of educational panels in the ACM@UCO Songwriting Room on campus and a gear-centric silent auction beginning at 3 p.m. Amazingly, admission to all of this is free.
