hen John Calvin Abney finishes a BY NATHAN POPPE set, he said he’s used to hearing LOOKATOKC EDITOR one thing. NPOPPE@OPUBCO.COM It’s not about his slick guitar playing or his clever lyrics. It’s usually about the honesty of his songwriting. I met with Abney back in December 2014 at Blu in Norman, and I experienced much of what Becky Carman describes in our cover story. Frankly, she nailed it with this one and her work continues to impress me. It’s an honest portrayal of an honest artist. Abney’s rapidfire, genuine personality has been bottled and expertly explained in this issue. I’m very proud of our effort to shine a light on his work because his new album sounds fantastic, and he’s touring feverishly outside of the state. He’s doing everything he can to get his name out there, and it’s going to be a big year for him. He’ll keep busy with his solo album, but his work on John Moreland’s upcoming album “High on Tulsa Heat” will no doubt raise his profile too. Abney even appears on that album’s cover in what looks like a blurred iPhone photo. A special thanks to all the photographers who provided images for our cover story and Ebony Dallas for piecing everything together. It’s always been my aim with LOOKatOKC to include new voices on our pages. I think we’ve done that with this issue. The proof is between all the beautiful photos, clean design and our engaging stories. Oklahoma music is off to a good start this year. Make sure to be on the lookout for our next issue where Matt Carney explores the connection between Norman musician Beau Jennings and his love for Will Rogers.

ull-circle theory rings true in the life of artist Randall Barnes. Barnes, once supervisor of the OKC Police Department’s Graffiti Removal Unit, will soon present a graffiti-removal artistic installation in Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s 2015 “Momentum.” “The aesthetic of street art and graffiti relates to the context of my work. I borrow from them as an aesthetic means to depict my narrative,” Barnes said. His process for creating art involves a mixture of binge watching kung-fu films, documenting the exchange between graffiti creation and removal and blending hip-hop with art history. Then comes the occasional self-portrait. “I use flat colors and multiple layers of content

to depict the narrative of the #RedShirtCollective a group of heroic kung fu artisans,” he said. The #RedShirtCollective portrays Barnes in a variety of poses associated with martial arts to highlight an ongoing cultural and artistic exchange. The pulse of his artistic practice is his community. It’s what keeps Barnes going. In fact, when he’s not painting or printmaking, you can find him volunteering at arts events such as ArtNow at Oklahoma Contemporary or serving on committees for various art organizations. “It is important to support your community. In doing so you’ll find the support you need as well. Whether it is a small group of like-minded people or your greater community as a whole, if we all support the communities we operate in, the better they will be,” Barnes said. Removing graffiti from the walls of property

owners, businesses, homes, fences and even vehicles, is one of the many ways Barnes has given back. “The majority of the grafﬁti I buffed was vandalizing people’s properties … It was a service that the communities I worked in truly needed and appreciated,” Barnes said. Mark your calendar to experience the March 6 and 7 opening of Momentum, an exhibition by artists 30 and under. Here you can meet Barnes, experience his grafﬁti-removal installation and view the work of other dynamic artists from across the state.

n Spanish, “mucho gusto” is a common phrase meaning “nice to meet you.” In Oklahoma City, Pizzeria Gusto, 2415 N Walker Ave., is an uncommon pizza place whose acquaintance you’ll be happy to make. Owners Chris Lower and chef Kathryn Mathis have taken Oklahoma City’s dining scene by storm with a succession of well-appointed, modern fast-casual concepts, but with Pizzeria Gusto the dynamic duo may have found their magnum opus by adding an elegant bar, tableservice and an atmosphere that offers a variety of experiences. Pizzeria Gusto’s prime initiative is to celebrate and serve the pizza tradition of Naples, Italy, which is so proud of its pizza that those who wish to serve it must follow strict guidelines to market their pies with the Neapolitan stamp. The result is a thin-crusted pizza marked by the char no dough can avoid when exposed to wood-fueled, 900-degree heat. On the way to becoming America’s favorite restaurant fare, pizza has evolved in dozens of directions since it ﬁrst hit our shores shortly after World War II: Chicago-style, New Yorkstyle, California-style, to name a few. So, news that we have a new pizza place in town doesn’t usually resonate because it happens monthly. But when the creative forces behind Big Truck Tacos, Mutt’s Amazing Hot Dogs and Back Door BBQ open a new pizza place, the Oklahoma City dining enthusiast takes keen interest. And with good reason. Lower and Mathis are as important a tandem in the current restaurant renaissance as anyone in the market. Their contributions all have succeeded on the same principle: high standards. In my humble opinion, Pizzeria Gusto represents their most prodigious gustatory home run yet.

FEEDING ‘THE BEAST’ Mathis has faced down the enormous wooddevouring, fire-breathing oven, which looks like it might’ve had a role in “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” with aplomb. Mathis refers to it as “The Beast.” “I usually come in about 8 a.m. to get the fire started,” she said. “I stir the embers a little then start adding fresh wood — it takes at least two hours to get it up and running to 900 degrees.” Once orders come in, pizzas pop out of The Beast in about 90 seconds. But this isn’t fast food by any stretch. To meet the Neapolitan standards, the pizza must not only be wood-fired but adhere to strict guidelines in the dough-making process.

That means “00” ﬂour, which isn’t licensed to kill, but its superﬁne, practically talcum-powder texture ensures a killer crust. “For a 55-pound batch of dough, I only use about an ounce of yeast,” Mathis said. That small amount of yeast for such a large batch doesn’t mean the dough won’t rise; it means the dough won’t rise in the span of a day. For Mathis’ taste, it takes two days of rest before the dough is considered ready to take on a few toppings before exposure to The Beast. Classic Neapolitan pizza also is topped with sauce derived from San Marzano tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Mathis uses both, but the cheese takes a little extra effort. “We make all our mozzarella in house,” she said. Over the past six to eight months, Mathis has become a pizza ninja, learning what other toppings and accoutrements work best with their unique crust and turning out a menu that is second to none. In the realm of pizza opinion, there is virtually no agreement so it’s pointless for me to perpetrate the idea that any one pizza is better

than another. Instead, I will tell you that my tolerance for pizza ran about once every three months before Pizzeria Gusto opened. That tolerance is now runs at about once a week.

IDEAS AND EXECUTION But it’s not just because of the pizza. The menu is stacked with winners from hot wings and fried artichokes to more robust entrees like the toe-curling Gnocchi served with braised short-rib and a selection of well-conceived and executed desserts. The atmosphere can be an intimate dinner for two stretched over two hours with small plates, cocktails and wine or a quick bite at the communal table with a view of either the open kitchen or the televisionadorned bar. And at that bar you’ll ﬁnd a seasonal cocktail program devised by Scott Glidewell, who

Page 10

January 28 - February 10, 2015

is generally regarded as the barkeep most likely to dazzle and educate you within mixology circles. Unlike previous concepts, Pizzeria Gusto wasn’t the idea of either Mathis or Lower. The idea for a pizza concept built around a pizza cooked over an open ﬁre came from Picasso’s Cafe owner Shaun Fiaccone. “Shaun brought us the idea for a concept called ‘Coaled Pizza,’ and the pizza was cooked over coal embers,” Lower said. That original meeting goes back nearly two years. Since then, the idea evolved into wood-ﬁred Neapolitan pizza. Fiaccone, who remains an investor in the restaurant, not only owns Picasso’s but recently started the Ciao Wagon mobile kitchen with chef Ryan Parrott. The Pizzeria Gusto building itself brought on many adventures in its remodel, including an original art deco cast-stone facade that was unearthed and pre-

served. The rear parking lot only recently was completed, and the back patio is not complete. In other words, this outstanding addition to the local dining scene still stands to improve. “We plan to start offering brunch in the spring,” Lower said. “We’ll have the patio completed by then and, hopefully, some warmer weather to go with it.”

IF YOU GO Pizzeria Gusto opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Saturday. It closes at 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and midnight Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant does not offer delivery, but take-out order can placed by calling 437-4992. For full menu and more information, go online to www.pizzeria-gusto.com.

WILLIAM H. MACY, ‘RUDDERLESS’

lready an ever-busy and esteemed actor, William H. Macy is building on the directing career he began in Oklahoma almost two years ago. On Jan. 20, his feature film directorial debut, the musical drama “Rudderless,” debuts on DVD. Next month, he will start shooting his next movie as a director, “Crystal,” a comedy starring Josh Hutcherson, Sienna Miller and Jane Fonda, in Atlanta. In addition, Macy is continuing his starring role in Showtime’s black comedy “Shameless,” which this week debuted its fifth season and was renewed for a sixth. “Rudderless,” filmed in 2013 in Oklahoma City, Guthrie and Edmond, stars Billy Crudup (“Almost Famous”) as Sam, a grieving, alcoholic father whose ex-wife (Macy’s Academy Award-nominated wife, Felicity Huffman) gives him a box of their deceased son’s original music. In the aftermath of his boy’s tragic death in a mass shooting on his college campus, Sam forms a band so he can give voice and life to the music. “I don’t think I’m exaggerating: I don’t think I’ve ever been that alive in my whole life. One of the lovely benefits of directing this film at this point in my career is that I fell in love with this business all over again,” Macy, 64, said in a phone interview this week. “I did not realize the perspective that a director has. I sat there and I looked at this group of people, this machine that we build to make these films, and it was humbling. I can’t think of another way to make a living where you get such a disparate group of people from such diverse backgrounds all working together intimately, all pulling in the same direction to make a piece of art.” Q: One of the DVD features is deleted scenes. Are you glad that some of those scenes are going to get to have new life on DVD? Macy: Actually, I know people love that stuff, but no. (laughs) I’d prefer the stuff that I shot that didn’t make the film to go off to someplace and rest in peace. There’s a part of me that feels a little chagrined that I put so much effort and capital into things that didn’t make it into the film. Q: What was it about this particular script (by Edmond-based screenwriters Casey Twenter and Jeff Robison)? Now that you look back on it, was there one thing in particular that made it the story you wanted to tell? Macy: I think ultimately it’s because it’s a story I’ve never heard, and violence is very much on my mind these days. I think the

LOOKATOKC.COM

violence in film is concerning to me. I find a lot of the violence in film to be blatantly untruthful. We can do a lot of things in this business, but one of things we must do is tell the truth — and I feel like there’s a lot of bull**** violence out there. And this told a tale of the ancillary victims of violence that we don’t think of. I’ve just never seen this story. No one’s ever thought about the family, and it scared the **** out of me, truthfully, because we were on such thin ice. If people thought we were excusing it or trying to explain it, we could have died a thousand deaths. So I knew how tricky it was ... and I thought, “Well, if it scares you that much, this is the movie you gotta make.” Q: Is there anything about Oklahoma and your time here that will be influential to you or treasured to you moving forward? Macy: They were debating the tax credits (“Rudderless” was made in Oklahoma using the state’s 35 percent Film Enhancement Rebate). The Legislature was trying to figure whether they wanted to continue with the tax credits, which they ultimately did continue with it. But somebody stood up in the Legislature and referred to us filmmakers as “purveyors of filth,” and I think that happened on the day that I got to Oklahoma City. (laughs) But my experience was this: I’m not sure we could’ve made the film anywhere other than Oklahoma City. The outpouring of support that we got sort of to this day boggles my mind. I’d look at these sets that they’d come up with, and I know our budget, I kept waiting for the police to show up. I thought, “How are you coming up with this?” And it’s because the Oklahomans were just as generous as could be. I made friends there that are my friends to this day, and some of them are going to be involved in my next film — producers and financiers and actors. You know, the (May 2013) tornadoes went ripping through there at the same time, and I really got a graphic view of how tough people in that state are and how good they are and how deep they are. I just shudder when I think of trying to make “Rudderless” if we’d been in one of those states that makes lots and lots of films. I don’t think we could have done it. It took Oklahoma to turn this film.

‘SELMA’

MOVIE REVIEW ‘SELMA’ PG-13 2:07 4 stars Starring: David Oyelowo, Tom Wilkinson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tim Roth, Giovanni Ribisi, Martin Sheen, Oprah Winfrey and Common. (Disturbing thematic material including violence, a suggestive moment and brief strong language)

‘Selma’ is a powerful depiction of the civil rights movement, paints honest portrait of King

lthough you can hardly cross a major metropolitan area without running into a street named after the famed orator and progenitor of the civil rights movement, it may come as a surprise to learn that “Selma” is the first major motion picture to tackle Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. In Ava DuVernay’s “Selma,” King is played with preternatural restraint by David Oyelowo, who lends a quiet dignity to the screen even in the midst of the most horrific turmoil. He is presented, flaws and all, as the crux upon which the civil rights movement rests, urging his followers to keep hope in the face of monstrous adversity, the white lawmakers who block progress and the deeply misanthropic racism that was latent in the American belief system in the late ’50s and early ’60s. In “Selma,” we are taken inside King’s inner circle, where the movement’s machinations to reach nation-

Page 16

January 28 - February 10, 2015

al awareness are revealed. Their intentions are not to further selfish interest, but rather to push the necessary agenda of improving the black vote. In the Deep South, even though blacks are legally allowed to vote, local politics have made the act of registration all but impossible. This fact is keenly demonstrated when Annie Lee Cooper (Oprah Winfrey) attempts to register only to be told that she must first recite the preamble to the constitution, state how many county judges there are in Alabama — and after succeeding at both obstacles is told she must list each of the 67 judges by name. King is the messiah of the movement, but he is shown to be as human as the next man. Temporarily jailed for protesting, he confronts his own demons of doubt as to whether he is on the right path. When his wife, Coretta Scott King (Carmen Ejogo), hears tapes that supposedly contain audio of King in the act of coitus with another woman, we realize she is

aware of his extramarital affairs. King isn’t painted as a flawless hero, but rather a conflicted, genuinely passionate and powerful leader in a time when the country was starved for change. “Selma” will break your heart a hundred times over, from the scenes of violence. Yet, this is a necessary story, being told at a time when America is undergoing mass racial upheaval. Watch “Selma,” tell everyone about “Selma” and heed its triumph. We’ve come a long way from bombing young children in their church just because of the color of their skin, yet we seem to have forgotten how hard our forerunners fought to make this country free, and forgotten how many people have died along the way to fight for equality. — Grace Gordon, entertainment writer

‘BLACKHAT’

movie review

MOVIE REVIEW ‘BLACKHAT’ 1 R 2:13 ⁄2 star Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Viola Davis, Tang Wei, Wang Leehom and William Mapother. (Violence and some language)

‘Blackhat’ bytes, lacks compelling action and a lot more

lackhat felt like the longest two hours of my life. I heard the hacker/action film was jokingly referred to as “Thor” with computers before its screening, and that couldn’t be further from the truth (as if that were even a selling point). Yes, it stars Chris Hemsworth, and although that stack of muscles looks like he could carry three movies at once, he manages to drop “Blackhat” harder than a dumbbell on the gym floor. Abs will only get you so far when you lose your accent halfway through a movie. But I’m not going to solely place the blame on Hemsworth. Director Michael Mann (“Public Enemies,” “Heat”), who has shown he can handle an action film in the past, completely botches this attempt. It didn’t feel like his 11th studio film. It felt like

LOOKATOKC.COM

his first. Here’s the plot, as if it were as important as the film’s numerous explosions. Nicholas Hathaway (Hemsworth) gets pulled out of prison to aid American and Chinese agencies in stopping a Web-based thug from using zeros and ones to cripple the international banking network and destroy factories. “Blackhat” and its brilliant subtlety lets you know the attacks are being done with computers through shots that literally travel between fiber optics. Spoiler alert: It’s nauseating to watch, it’s lazy execution and another poor attempt at action. These scenes felt like someone was just fast-forwarding 1982’s “TRON” at quadruple speed. So, forget for a minute that a great action movie somewhat depends on half-decent acting, a likable hero and an engaging battle between that hero and

a villain. Maybe you want to see this just to stare at Hemsworth. Well, good luck. The perpetually earthquaking camera sits still about as successfully as a room full of first-graders with king-sized candy bars and soda. The jarring cinematography not only destroys the potential for effective action scenes but also is extremely obnoxious. The camera has a harder time nailing focus than this movie did. And poor Viola Davis. Thank you for trying in this movie. You really didn’t have to. The only thing “Blackhat” has going for it is that it’s overwhelmingly forgettable. You’d be better off spending two hours surfing on your own computer. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

‘AMERICAN SNIPER’

MOVIE REVIEW ‘AMERICAN SNIPER’ R 2:14 2 1⁄2 stars Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller and Ben Reed. (Strong and disturbing war violence, and language throughout, including some sexual references)

Preventable mistakes plague ‘American Sniper’ and ultimately diminish it, solid performances are film’s saving grace

lint Eastwood needs to slow down. That’s not a comment on the four-time Oscar winner’s age; I’m glad he’s still making movies at 84 and look forward to a wellcrafted film when I see his name above the title. But when you release 14 movies in as many years, including two last year, it seems inevitable that potential greatness slips away, leaving some stories so flawed in the telling that the viewer can’t help but feel let down. That’s the case with “American Sniper,” Eastwood’s second film of 2014, which opened in Oklahoma City Jan. 16 after debuting in limited release at Christmastime. Stellar performances from Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller, along with tense combat sequences, endue Eastwood’s biopic of Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle with a stately, unfussy power, but preventable mistakes plague the film and ultimately diminish it. Giving a performance outstanding enough to rival his supporting turn in 2013’s “American Hustle,” Cooper produces and stars in the adaptation of Kyle’s best-selling memoir “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History.” The Philadelphia native packed on about 30 pounds of bulky muscle, adopted an authentic Texas drawl and learned to handle firearms convincingly enough to portray a marksman who notched more than 150 confirmed kills over four tours of duty in Iraq. The biopic opens with Chris sprawled watchfully on a rooftop in Fallujah, eyeing an Iraqi woman hand-

Page 18

January 28 - February 10, 2015

ing a little boy what looks like a grenade near a group of Marines; his commander radios that Kyle will have to make the call on whether or not to shoot the woman and child. Eastwood then flashes back to Chris’ childhood in rural Texas, where his stern father (Ben Reed) not only trained him to hunt but also taught him that people were divided into three types: the sheep, the wolves who prey on them and the sheepdogs who protect the sheep from the predators. His categorization as a sheepdog profoundly shapes Chris’ psyche. The film also covers Kyle’s rodeo cowboy days, his decision to enlist in the Navy after the 1998 American embassy bombings and his arduous training as a SEAL. He’s just wrapping up his training when he charms his future bride, Taya (Miller), in a bar, and they’re just getting serious when 9/11 plunges America into war. They get married just before Chris is sent off to Iraq, where he focuses with laser intensity on his job. The taciturn Texan has a clear, vigilant view of that job: He shoots insurgents without regret because he’s tasked with protecting Marines on the ground at any costs. But we see the work slowly take a psychological toll, especially when he returns — always on edge — to Taya and their growing family in between tours. He is semi-jokingly dubbed “Legend” by his fellow SEALS — and seriously called “The Devil of Ramadi” by the insurgents who put a high price on his head — but he is visibly uncomfort-

able when he meets a Marine back home who fervently thanks him for saving his life. Eastwood earned a Directors Guild of America nomination on the strength of his well-staged scenes of Chris in battle, as unfinished business with al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his enforcer “The Butcher” (Mido Hamada) and rival Syrian sniper Mustafa (Sammy Sheik) keeps pulling Kyle back to Iraq. But Eastwood’s work feels unfinished, too. He lets too many of the wartime sequences drag on endlessly; the characters, except for Kyle, seem woefully underdeveloped; and the domestic scenes feel underwritten and incomplete, almost like rehearsal footage deemed good enough. For instance, Cooper and Miller deliver the performance of their careers during an argument over what’s supposed to be their infant daughter, but instead end up cradling a jarringly fake plastic baby and trying to pretend it’s the real thing. There’s just no excuse for that kind of nonsense. Clearly, Eastwood is no newcomer to the director’s chair, but his failure to mind the details downgrades “American Sniper” from a potentially great film to one that isn’t quite good enough. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

‘DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT’

Miniature golf coming to Bricktown

Construction continues on Brickopolis north of Reno and Mickey Mantle, along the Bricktown Canal, in Oklahoma City. Photo by Nate Billings, for LOOKatOKC

n 18-hole miniature golf course is set to open this spring along the Bricktown Canal in conjunction with Brickopolis, an entertainment venue that will include laser tag, amusements, a pizza restaurant and gift shop. Engineer Tim Johnson, who presented plans for the golf course Jan. 14 to the Bricktown Urban Design Committee, said the miniature golf course was chosen to occupy what is considered a prime corner on the canal after a deal for a boutique hotel fell through three months ago. “There are a lot of attractions in Bricktown, especially in December when you have a lot of kids either snow tubing or riding the canal boats,” Johnson said. “This will be another time-consuming

entertainment option that will bring life to the canal.” Johnson said the course is being designed to reflect Bricktown and its history, and will include extensive landscaping, bridges and water features. Construction continues, meanwhile, on Brickopolis across the canal, immediately west of the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Brick work is underway. “It’s going well,” Johnson said. “There were delays with the weather and delivery of steel. But we’re over that. We still anticipate getting open by midyear.” Brickopolis and the miniature golf course are being developed by Chris Johnson, who owns USA Screen Printing. Johnson said Wednesday he has decided to keep his House of Bedlam Shop, originally to be part of Brickopolis, at its current location in Lower Bricktown. A new gift shop will sell non-Bedlam merchandise and

gifts at Brickopolis. Johnson said Brickopolis is being designed to allow families with children to enjoy pizza, arcade and redemption games like foosball on the canal level, and more mature shooting games and laser tag to be offered on the building’s third floor. Mallory O’Neill, director of the Bricktown Association, welcomed the attraction as the district seeks to expand its visitor draw throughout the year. “It’s going to be a great temporary use for a space that has been vacant for 18 months,” O’Neill said. “It will add activity to the canal and be a great mix with the laser tag at Brickopolis. It will be a great family attraction.” — Steve Lackmeyer, for LOOKatOKC

‘COOL IT’

Proposed bill would allow refrigerated beer at Oklahoma liquor stores

bill proposed by a freshman state senator could pave the way for beer consumers to take a frosty six-pack home from the liquor store. Senate Bill 383, by Sen. Stephanie Bice, R-Oklahoma City, would amend state law to allow liquor stores to refrigerate beer “to a temperature that is below room temperature.” State law now states that alcoholic beverages sold in liquor stores, or package stores, are to be sold at “ordinary room temperature.” Advocates of refrigeration have argued keeping beer cold on store shelves increases its life span and protects the integrity of its ingredients. They also suggest providing refrigeration in stores would encourage some national craft beer brands to include Oklahoma in their distribution footprints. Opponents have said some liquor store owners would not be able to afford the cost of installing and operating cooling equipment. “I’ve heard from scores of Oklahomans from all parts of the state who are really supportive of this effort to modernize state law to enable the sale of cold high-point beer in liquor stores,” said Bice, who was elected to office in November. “The response I’ve received has been overwhelmingly in favor of this legislation.” Consumers would still have to purchase highpoint beer at liquor stores. Bice said making refrigeration optional could be done with a statutory

change and is something many other states already allow. Bryan Kerr, communications director for the nonprofit Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma, said the group’s members have weighed in on both sides of the refrigeration issue. “The upside is slightly longer shelf lives and the convenience of near-immediate consumption,” said Kerr, whose group represents nearly 100 liquor stores across the state. “The downside is that refrigeration will necessitate both capital investment and ongoing energy costs for the business, which may result in higher beer prices for everyone. “In short, some of our members support the idea while others would rather keep the price as low as possible.” Jenks liquor store owner Freddy Lamport said he would add refrigeration to his store given the option. “It just adds a beneficial convenience for the customer,” said Lamport, who owns BierGarten Wine & Spirits. “They can enjoy their beverages as soon as they get home, instead of having to wait. In the Oklahoma summer, that is a big deal. “It is a step in the right direction for the liberation of Oklahoma’s archaic liquor laws.” In Midwest City, craft brewer Blaine Stansel, of Roughtail Brewing Co., said he views potential passage of SB 383 as “a really big deal.” “This can make a big difference on the craft beer scene in Oklahoma for consumers,” Stansel said. He said refrigeration would also help Roughtail’s

products. “We do a lot of hoppy beers,” Stansel said. “The hops fade over time. The longer you can keep it cool, the longer the shelf life it will have.” If consumers bought a hoppy beer like an IPA — or India Pale Ale — after it sat on the liquor store shelf for four months, Stansel said, “It’s not going to be anything like it was when we first canned it.” He also argues that refrigeration in liquor stores would encourage popular national brands like New Belgium Brewing Co., of Colorado, and Stone Brewing Co., of California, to distribute in Oklahoma. “For a lot of these breweries (refrigeration is) a big deal,” Stansel said. Brian Krueger, who leads New Belgium’s sales team in opening new markets, said it was “good to hear” that Oklahoma was considering refrigeration. “That would definitely help to move (Oklahoma) up on the priority list knowing that our beers would be better cared for at retail,” he said. Jill Ogden, manager of 2nd Street Wine Co. in Edmond, said she agreed refrigeration would encourage other craft breweries to ship to Oklahoma. Ogden said they would install a cooler, “As soon as that’s a reality. We’re excited about it.” “The consumer is ready for it,” she said. “They’ve been asking for it for years. Especially with a lot of people coming into the metro from out of state.” — Nick Trougakos, for LOOKatOKC

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt hopes to have 1,000 shops within 5 years

ith the hiring of a new president to grow the brand and a high-profile endorsement deal with Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City-based Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt hopes to position itself for rapid growth. About 45 employees work at Orange Leaf's headquarters near Quail Springs Mall. A row of self-service frozen yogurt dispensers greets visitors in the reception area of the corporate office, just like the machines found at the chain's roughly 300 locations. There are also toppings such as nuts and chocolate candies. This week, Orange Leaf announced that it had tapped Geoff Goodman, a veteran of several franchise-based companies, as its new president. Goodman, who most recently served as vice president of brand excellence for the Dallas-based CiCi's Pizza, will oversee operations, product development, brand management and franchise development.

LOOKATOKC.COM

“We are going to focus now on getting better in all elements of our business,” Goodman said. “When we are the best at what we do, our customers will demand that we get bigger.” Reese Travis, a former offensive lineman for the University of Oklahoma football team, will remain CEO of Orange Leaf. Travis began as an Orange Leaf franchisee. He and his business partners bought Orange Leaf in 2010 and moved the company's headquarters from San Francisco to Oklahoma City. The chain had only about 15 stores when the group purchased the company. Travis sees Goodman as a “strategic hire” to help grow the Orange Leaf brand, he said. The chain has recently expanded its reach into Australia, with six franchise locations, and hopes for additional overseas expansion into China and Mexico, among other markets. Orange Leaf has set a goal of opening 1,000 stores in the United States and internationally by 2020. Durant now owns an undisclosed stake in Orange

Leaf, as part of an endorsement deal announced in September. The deal is one of Durant's only equity-based deals in the Oklahoma City Thunder star's rapidly growing portfolio of lucrative endorsements, which include Sonic Drive-In and Nike. So far, Durant has promoted Orange Leaf via his Twitter feed, including a contest that encouraged customers to post pictures of their frozen yogurt in exchange for prizes. Orange Leaf also recently gave away frozen yogurt to children at a Christmas party for the Oklahoma Citybased nonprofit Positive Tomorrows, which featured an appearance by Durant. Positive Tomorrows operates an elementary school for homeless children in the city. The endorsement was announced via Durant's Twitter account, which has about 9 million followers. “More than 9 million people saw that tweet — it's elevating the brand. There's nothing but upside for us,” Travis said. — Brianna Bailey, for LOOKatOKC

BETTER LUCK T H I S T I M E BY BECKY CARMAN | FOR LOOKatOKC

“I

had no concept of ‘a song.’” Oklahoma artist John Calvin Abney’s conversation moves at a punk-rock pace. He’s a frenetic creature, rowdy and sweet, juggling a million thoughts and interests at once, and even for me — I’ve called him a friend for a few years now — sometimes it’s difﬁcult to keep up. Still, this theme repeats several times during our conversation: At one point, not all that long ago, Abney, 25, had no concept of a song. This realization has been a relatively long time in coming for Abney, who recently rebranded himself to “John Calvin Abney” — leaving behind the largely un-Google-able John Calvin monkier. Now he’s poised squarely between what are easily the two best songwriting efforts of his short career. November’s “Empty Candles” is a seven-song EP “guerrilla-released” on a whim after a weeklong home recording session a month prior. “I had been sitting on those songs forever, and I wanted to record them because I’ve been playing them live all the time,” Abney said. “Why wait for the LP? Why not release them so people have something? Or for me, too, so I have something.” The LP he wasn’t waiting on is “Better Luck,” Abney’s ﬁrst full-length release, due out Jan. 25.

RED DIRT PIONEERS | NORMAN

STEVE STORY: FIRST FRIDAY JAZZ AT WATERS EDGE WINERY, 8 p.m., Waters Edge Winery, 712 N Broadway, 232-9463.

Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame inductee Skinner is not only one of the originators of the Red Dirt sound, he’s also done more than his fair share to keep it going since its inception. Among other things, his weekly Tom Skinner Science Project shows have been a part of the Tulsa sound for the past 15 years. Dunlap was on the ground ﬂoor of the acoustic singer-songwriter genre that would later become known as Red Dirt music. He was one of the ﬁrst Stillwater musicians to release music embracing the multi-genre facets of Red Dirt. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the ACM@UCO show. Cost is $10 in advance, $15 at door. Purchase tickets at ticketstorm.com, Guestroom Records in Oklahoma City or by calling (866) 966-1777.

FEB. 14 • 6 P.M. - 9 P.M. Oklahoma Red Dirt pioneers Randy Crouch, Tom Skinner and Chuck Dunlap will appear at 8 p.m. Jan. 31 at ACM@UCO, 329 E Sheridan Ave. in Bricktown. The appearance is part of a four-city concert tour that includes Tahlequah, Stillwater, Tulsa as well as Oklahoma City. Proceeds beneﬁt the Red Dirt Relief Fund, a fund to provide assistance to Oklahoma musicians in critical need such as medical emergencies or disasters. Crouch has been a foundation for Oklahoma’s Red Dirt music scene since the beginning. His inﬂuence extends deep into Oklahoma music of all types, including Folk, Bluegrass, Blues, and Country. Crouch often refers to his songs as “Oklahoma protest music.”

ISTVAN GALLERY LIVE HOSTS ELIZA RICKMAN | OKC

FEBRUARY 11 • 8 P.M. Musician, composer and vocalist Eliza Rickman will perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 11 at Istvan Gallery, 1218 N Western. After her Kickstarter-funded debut of CD “O, You Sinners,” the release of multiple music videos widely considered to be small cinematic masterpieces, and a virtual nonstop touring schedule, 2014 provided an elevated level of productivity and success. Eliza’s song “Pretty Little Head” was featured on episode 45 of the immensely popular podcast “Welcome to Night Vale” and quickly became a

fan favorite, leading to the coveted musical guest spot on their summer tour. She was also invited to contribute to Jason Webley’s “Margaret” — an ensemble concept album about a mysterious woman whose scrapbook was found in a dumpster. Eliza is currently recording two albums with Jason Webley, both of which are scheduled for release in 2015. Beverages will be available. For ticket info, contact Stephen Kovash via email: urbanartokc@gmail. com or call 831-2874. Kovash also can be reached on Facebook.
