It’s a mostly miss week in terms of touring acts speeding through Oklahoma (unless you are still really into hair metal), but there are a couple of gold nuggets lodged into a nice spread of local music showcases in this week’s collection of Oxford Karma’s most notable Oklahoma concerts.
Jacob Furr with Katie Williams
Thursday, Aug. 13
The Bluebonnet Bar | Norman
This show is for beard and countrified folk enthusiasts alike.
The Daddyo’s with Cherry Death
Thursday, August 13
Opolis | Norman
Two of Oklahoma’s best new indie rock outfits team up for a gig before The Daddyo’s head down I-35 for a couple of shows down in the Lone Star State.
KATTFEST feat. Chevelle, All That Remains, Saint Asonia, Highly Suspect, and more
Friday, Aug. 14
The Zoo Amphitheatre | Oklahoma City
13 years out and “The Red” still remains one of the best hard-rock tracks of the past couple of decades (even if that realm hasn’t exactly fielded the strongest competition in the post-’90s).
Wink Burcham
Friday, Aug. 14
The Blue Note Lounge | Oklahoma City
John Moreland and John Fullbright fans should make a point of catching this Tulsa singer-songwriter who has the same potential to set off on a similar path as those folk luminaries.
Desi & Cody with Campdogzz and Kalyn Fay Barnoski
Friday, Aug. 14
Opolis | Norman
Tulsa duo Desi & Cody use this free Opolis show as a launchpad to a tour through the Midwest and have Chicago’s Campdogzz and Tulsa’s Kalyn Fay Barnoski along for the night.
Tequila Songbirds: Kierston White, Camille Harp, and Elizabee
Saturday, Aug. 15
The Blue Door | Oklahoma City
If you are sensing a trend, folk is reigning supreme in this week’s selections, which makes Tequila Songbirds an essential one.
We Must Dismantle All This with Brother Gruesome, Street Feet, and Shishio
Saturday, Aug. 15
SixTwelve | Oklahoma City
And now for something completely different.
Throwback Festival feat. Dru Hill, Klymaxx, Silk, Lyfe Jennings, and more
Saturday, Aug. 15
Plaza Mayor | Oklahoma City
We get the distinct feeling that an abnormal amount of kids will be born nine months from this Saturday’s first annual Throwback Festival, featuring plenty of old school R&B favorites.
