he stranger eyed my mug of beer and wanted it for his own. Sitting at the end of The Mule’s bar is a Monday night tradition for me. Why? I love the food, the vibes, the geographic convenience and the fact that I get to keep my festive glass when it’s time to leave. Yes, pint night at the Plaza District staple is a personal tradition. So when this individual, looking maybe a day over 21, tried to ask for my mug, I just smiled, stabbed another cheese curd and shook my head. “I’m here for the glass,” I said. “There’s no way I’m giving it up.” He flashed a grin cheesier than my curds.
“Is it because of the woman drawn on the glass?” he pried. Anthem’s Golden One has a lovely illustration on this particular brew. Regardless of my preference for animated hair color, it’s my favorite local beer. I wasn’t interested in giving it away. The stranger leaned in and shared a doofy plan with me. “I’m gonna try to buy those folks behind us some beers so I can have a full set of glasses,” he said. Gross. The whole point isn’t leaving with a trendy set of four glasses to make you king of the dorm room. The point is coming in every week, trying a new brew and running into new or familiar faces. Surely, his weirdness and selfishness would not be rewarded. The Mule’s slogan is “Don’t be an ass.” I wish it had been temporarily tattooed on my forehead to send this stranger a message. The bartender grew wise to his game and refused him extra glasses. Score one point for sanity. The stranger disappeared as I finished my food and lingered on the moment. I was reminded of the song “Waiting for Kirsten” by Jens Leckman. In the track, he recalls missing a chance meeting with a famed actress because Sweden doesn’t have VIP lines and a club wouldn’t let Kirsten Dunst in faster than anyone else. It’s a comforting thought. One that I wish everyone would apply to life. Don’t take more than you need. Stop making a fuss about what you want or who you think you are. That’s how I LOOKatOKC. Maybe you do, too.

ummer’s knocking at the door. You can choose to answer it and visit your local movie theater or just stay on the couch and watch Netflix. Totally your call. However, here are several strong reasons to make it to the big screen for this summer’s movie season.
May 20 Why are those birds so irate, and why does a viral video game rate a fulllength animated feature film? Find out in “The Angry Birds Movie,” which sends the feathered Red, Chuck and Bomb on the flighty quest to track a bunch of mysterious green piggies that have invaded their paradise island. This 3-D cartoon romp features an all-star voice cast that includes Peter Dinklage, Tituss Burgess, Jason Sudeikis, Maya Rudolph, Sean Penn, Josh Gad and Tulsa’s own Bill Hader. The only thing worse than having a rowdy fraternity next door (a la 2014’s raucous “Neighbors”) would be to find your block invaded by an even more debaucherous group of partiers in “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.” Zac Ephron returns as former frat rat Teddy to help suburbanites Mac and Kelly (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) reclaim their peace and quiet from the shrieking sorority revelers. Chloe Grace Moretz and Selena Gomez join the party. In a sly nod to the old gumshoe tradition of TV’s “The Rockford Files” (which starred Oklahoma’s great James Garner), big-bang writer-director Shane Black (“The Last Boy Scout,” “Iron Man 3”) hits the mean streets of Los Angeles with “The Nice Guys.” The noirish tale follows a private eye who uncovers a conspiracy as he investigates the apparent suicide of a fading porn star of the 1970s, and it features a volatile co-starring turn with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.

May 27 Returning for his fourth film in the Marvel franchise, director Bryan Singer takes on the emergence of the world’s first mutant in “X-Men: Apocalypse.” When the most powerful mutant awakens after thousands of years, he’s disillusioned and determined to cleanse mankind and create a new world order in which he will reign. It’s up to Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and a band of young X-Men recruits to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind. Standouts in the cast include Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, Oklahoma City’s own Olivia Munn and, of course, Stan Lee. In “A Bigger Splash,” a high-profile couple — a famous rock star (Tilda Swinton) and her filmmaker husband (Matthias Schoenaerts) — find their idyllic vacation on the sun-drenched Italian island of Pantelleria disrupted by the unexpected intrusion of an old friend and his daughter (Ralph Fiennes and Dakota Johnson). Italian director Luca Gaudagnino (“I Am Love”) makes his English-language debut with this tale of jealousy, passion and danger. Love is strange and “The Lobster” looks even stranger. Colin Farrell stars in the A24-produced film that challenges him to fall in love within 45 days or be forced to turn into an animal. Rachel Weisz and John C. Reilly join the cast for this dark romantic dramedy. A sequel to Tim Burton’s 2010 Lewis Carroll fantasy, “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” features many returning cast members (including Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mia Wasikowska and the late Alan Rickman in his final role). This time Englishman James Bobin (“Da Ali G Show”) is in the director’s chair as Alice (Wasikowska) travels back to the bizarre world of Wonderland in an effort to thwart the evil Lord of Time and save the Mad Hatter.

June 3 Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Andy Samberg is on a roll with his hit sitcom “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” and now he’s written and starred in the music-industry spoof “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.” In it he plays pop/ rap superstar Conner4Real, whose new album has tanked, threatening his celebrity high life and sending him into a tailspin. Desperate for a comeback, he agrees to try anything — except reuniting with his old rap group, The Style Boyz. Co-starring Will Arnett, Tulsa’s Bill Hader and an actress whose name is sure to be a hit with 12-year-old boys everywhere, Imogen Poots. And speaking of 12-year-old boys, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” twirls and kicks its way into the nation’s multiplexes this summer with an action-packed adventure that the studio describes simply as “The Turtles return to save the city from a dangerous threat.” Enough said.
June 10 Brace yourself for some dense mythologizing and an onslaught of CGI creepy crawlier as “Warcraft” takes us to the peaceful realm of Azeoth, which stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a race of invaders — fearsome orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. Naturally, armies collide, extinction looms and two opposing heroes emerge to battle for the fates of their families, their people and their homelands. Writer-director Duncan Jones (“Source Code”) oversees the festivities. In a follow-up to the 2013 action-thriller, “Now You See Me 2” resurrects the master illusionists The Four Horseman — known from the first film for pulling off bank heists during their magic performances — and puts them under the thumb of an evil tech genius. The villain coerces the magicians into attempting a most impossible heist, and their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names. Jesse Eisenberg returns to the conjuring, with newfound help from Daniel Radcliffe.
June 17 Pixar Animation dips its considerable toe into the deep blue sea again with “Finding Dory,” a sweet-and-salty follow-up to 2003’s blockbuster hit, “Finding Nemo.” This time, Dory, the friendly but forgetful blue tang fish, sets out to be reunited with her loved ones, and everyone learns a thing or two about family along the way. Ellen DeGeneres again lends her chipper voice to Dory, with vocal support from Albert Brooks, Idris Elba and Kate McKinnon. Andrew Stanton again occupies the co-director’s chair.
June 24 Two decades after angry aliens invaded Earth and spectacularly blew up the White House, they’re back in “Independence Day Resurgence.” With director Roland Emmerich again at the helm, humankind must again muster its best LOOKATOKC.COM

resources — along with a little recovered alien technology — to face the aliens’ advanced and unimaginable force. Ultimately it’s Earth’s brave men and women and their quick ingenuity that pull humankind back from the brink of extinction. Maika Monroe, Liam Hemsworth, William Fichtner and Joey King lead the Earth’s forces. Set during the Civil War, “Free State of Jones” tells the tale of defiant Southern farmer Newt Knight (Matthew McConaughey), who bands together with local slaves and other small farmers to wage an extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy. Writer-director Gary Ross (“The Hunger Games”) oversees a cast that includes Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Keri Russell and Sean Bridgers.
July 1 Steven Spielberg directs “The BFG,” Melissa Mathison’s screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s fantasy novel about a little girl named Sophie, who meets the Big Friendly Giant, a creature shunned by his own kind because, unlike the other giants, he refuses to eat children. Rebecca Hall, Mark Rylance and Oklahoma native Bill Hader star. “Swiss Army Man” will be a film this summer featuring Daniel Radcliffe as a corpse and Paul
Dano is a lost soul stranded on an island. The two become an unlikely pair in what looks like the strangest, thoughtful release of the summer. Getting an appropriate Fourth of July weekend release in the middle of one of the most contested presidential campaign seasons in recent history is difficult. “The Purge: Election Year” is the third installment in a series of so-called “social science fiction action horror films” written and directed by James DeMonaco, which takes place in a future America where every year has a 12-hour period when all crime is legal — including murder. Chapter three is set in 2025, when cop Sgt. Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) is hired as head of security by presidential front-runner Sen. Charlene Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), who has pledged to do away with “The Purge” and its political supporters. In “The Legend of Tarzan,” the ape man (Alexander Skarsgard) has gotten used to the civilized, fully-clothed comforts of London when he’s forced to return to his former jungle home to investigate the questionable management of a mining operation. Margot Robbie (“Focus,” “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”) stars as Jane, with Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz and John Hurt in supporting roles. David Yates directs from a script by Adam Cozad and Craig Brewer. May 18 - May 31, 2016

July 8 From the makers of “Despicable Me” comes the 3-D animated comedy “The Secret Life of Pets,” all about a Manhattan apartment-dwelling terrier named Max (voice of Louis C.K.) who starts feeling neglected when his master rescues a mongrel named Duke (Eric Stonestreet) from the dog pound. A rivalry ensues, but is put aside when they encounter a white rabbit named Snowball (Kevin Hart) and his army of abandoned pets — calling themselves the “Flushed Pets” — who are plotting a vengeful assault on all happily-owned pets and their owners. Other voice talent includes Albert Brooks, Steve Coogan, Ellie Kemper, Bobby Moynihan and Lake Bell. Party-animal brothers Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) run an online ad seeking the ideal dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister’s Hawaiian wedding, only to find that the two females are wilder party-mates than the brothers bargained for in director Jake Szymanski’s romantic comedy, “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.”
July 13 Bryan Cranston plays real-life federal customs and excise agent Robert Mazur, who goes undercover to join the world’s largest cartels in the 1980s, and helps bust drug lord Pablo Escobar’s money-laundering operation in “The Infiltrator.” The crime drama, directed by Brad Furman from a screenplay by Ellen Brown Furman, is based on Mazur’s autobiography. It also stars Diane Kruger, Benjamin Bratt, John Leguizamo and Amy Ryan.
July 15 Director Paul Feig’s new take on “Ghostbusters,” coming 32 years after the original supernatural comedy hit, features some of the funniest players of the present day, including Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, alongside polter-
geist-pounding veterans Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, the latter serving as co-writer with Feig and Katie Dippold. Other cast members: Chris Hemsworth, Kate McKinnon, Elizabeth Perkins and another star from the 1984 original, Sigourney Weaver.
July 22 True to their tradition, the crew of the Enterprise keep going where no man has gone before, this time exploring the farthest reaches of uncharted space in “Star Trek Beyond,” the 13th film in the franchise and the third installment in the reboot series. In this sequel to “Star Trek into Darkness” directed by Justin Linn from a script by Simon Pegg, Doug Jung, Roberto Orci, John D. Payne and Patrick McCay, Capt. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), Commander Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the Enterprise regulars (Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho and Anton Yelchin reprising their roles) are attacked by powerful unknown aliens, and they find themselves stranded on a new planet where they struggle to fight back against a ruthless enemy.
July 29 Matt Damon returns as Robert Ludlum’s memory-challenged superspy in “Jason Bourne,” with Paul Greengrass, director of the second and third installments of the franchise (2004’s “The Bourne Supremacy,” 2007’s “The Bourne Ultimatum”) returning to the helm and co-writing a script with Christopher Rouse. The plot has the tortured title character finally remembering his true identity, and desperately searching for other hidden details of his past that might be painful to remember. This action thriller co-stars Tommy Lee Jones and Alicia Vikander, and follows a fourth installment, “The Bourne Legacy,” minus Damon and starring Jeremy Renner, that disappointed many fans and critics of the series.

‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR’
PG-13 | 2:26 | 2 1/2 stars Starring: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie. (Extended sequences of violence, action and mayhem)
Marvel’s longest comic adaptation has highs but hits sleepy lows BY NATHAN POPPE
T
he biggest struggle in the third “Captain America” installment isn’t between the patriotic title character and his super friend-turned-nemesis Iron Man. Rather, it was between my eyelids trying to stay open in the two-and-a-half hour movie, which only contains 30 minutes of actual story. That run time is inflated with spy film intrigue, an insatiable amount of talking and nonsense fight scenes that stretch farther than Bruce Banner’s pants when he Hulks out. For as quickly as Captain America can run, he sure takes his sweet time in “Captain America: Civil War.” This is easily the slowest-paced Marvel entry to date. My biggest complaint with almost any superhero movie is the story. You know, the scripted thing that writers seemingly spend a lot of time on. You might notice a comic book adaptation’s story between the special effects explosions and cheeky one-liners. A great story is the heart of any substantial film and it can elevate a sometimes entertaining film like “Civil War” into an unforgettable one. Too bad that didn’t happen here. After seeing actor Chris Evans (Captain America) on-screen as a superhero several times in a decade, I hunger to see something fresh in these films. I asked this question when I reviewed

May 18 - May 31, 2016
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” and I’ll ask it again. How comfortable are you with seeing the same things again? Big fans need not answer, you’ve probably already reserved a row of seats. “Civil War” does deliver highly entertaining moments and new characters, though. Newcomers Spider-Man (yes, another new Spider-Man but played by Tom Holland this time) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) practically radiate with energy on screen. I’ll give it to Marvel Studios; I left the theater slightly disappointed but totally excited at the idea of a Spider-Man reboot and the upcoming 2018 “Black Panther” film. “Civil War’s” plot only borrows its name and a few plot points from its comic book counterpart. All you need to know is Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) aims to police the world of super people. Captain America understands Tony Stark’s attempt to keep the world safe and he brazenly ignores it like a child ignoring a sales pitch from a life insurance agent. At least Marvel heroes aren’t tasked with saving the world this time. I appreciate the smaller scope of conflict in the film, even though the film needlessly hops between exotic locations around the world too frequently. Besides the bloated run time, the film’s biggest weakness is its logic. “Batman v Superman” had a very similar issue (and these two films share an eerily similar ending). Filmmakers have to answer the tough question, why are these super heroes
fighting each other? At times, the film loses sight of that question. Roughly halfway through “Civil War,” every superhero throws down at an airport, and it’s comical in a lot of ways besides Spider-Man’s awesome quips. The fight makes sense as much as the throw-down between rival news stations in “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.” Fun to watch? Sure. Does it do much to tell an engrossing story? Not so much. The cool factor only gets me so far, especially when the superhero movie world is becoming so crowded. It’s not enough for what’s happening on-screen to simply look cool. However, kudos to actor Daniel Bruhl as Helmut Zemo. He’s the best Marvel villain I’ve seen, and handily rivals Tom Hiddleston’s Loki in the evil department. I often notice Marvel films casting such a wide net that they miss the chance to connect with filmgoers wanting something different. If you make something for everybody, you’re also making it for nobody. “Civil War” is a moody, sometimes entertaining start to the summer movie season, but make sure you’re well rested before you sit down. Otherwise, you’re in for one expensive nap. “Civil War” is still worlds more interesting than “Captain America: The First Avenger.” But I left the theater remembering a scene where Scarlet Witch calls out Hawkeye for going easy on Black Widow during a brawl.

fter seeing the news recently, she paused and her shoulders drooped. Samantha Crain was on her phone and noticed the lineup for Medicine Stone, a young music festival curated by fellow Oklahoma musicians Jason Boland and members of the Turnpike Troubadours. More than 25 acts filled the 2016 poster for the Tahlequah-based celebration that stretches across Sept. 22-24. Only one was led by a female artist, Texas’ Jamie Lin Wilson. She’s the first and only woman to play the red dirt and Texas country music gathering in its four-year history. That fact sparked an online conversation about a problem that’s deeper than any single festival lineup. The under-representation of female musicians is just as much of a glaring problem now as it was years ago when Okie songwriter staples like Red Dirt Rangers and Susan Herndon picked up guitars. Simply put, the lack of diversity is an issue and it’s become a standard even at humongous festivals such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which hasn’t had a female headliner in nearly a decade. That’s the way things are, but Crain asserts that it doesn’t have to be the case. “In this state, there are so many amazing women songwriters and players. I just don’t see how you could accidentally forget to include them or have the ‘I didn’t even think about it’ excuse,” Crain said in an email. “You’d have to exclude them on purpose. And, really, it’s too bad, the future and survival of red dirt music depends on its evolution, just like blues, jazz or rock ‘n’ roll, and making women and

people of color feel welcome in that world would add a lot of interest and growth to the genre. I’m pretty certain that’s what (red dirt pioneer) Bob Childers would’ve wanted.” The reaction was a surprise to Medicine Stone executive producer Cory McDaniel, who said there’s no conspiracy to ignore female artists. “We have no active plan to keep women off of the event,” McDaniel said. “We looked at booking several women this year. (G Fest headliner) Kacey Musgraves, HoneyHoney, Gillian Welch and Holly Williams to name a few. It just didn’t work out this year. ... Yes, we only have one girl but we’re not actively looking at that while we’re booking. That’s just how it falls.” Female musicians have long dotted Oklahoma’s music landscape. As early as the 1950s, Maud-born rockabilly star Wanda Jackson jumped on the road with her boyfriend Elvis and even one-upped him with a stunning cover of “Hard Headed Woman,” which flipped the song’s meaning and also turned up the intensity. Today, Okie country superstars such as Carrie Underwood and Reba McEntire carry the same torch, alongside award-winning songwriters like Audra Mae. Artists such as Crain, Carter Sampson, Camille Harp, Ali Harter, Kierston White, Annie Oakley and dozens more stoke the fire closer to home. Many of those names came to mind as online discussions began Monday.

onto Twitter. It didn’t take long for the online conversation to devolve into name calling and insults, words that can’t be printed here. Questions remained as tempers eventually cooled. Why the hostility toward women? How did Medicine Stone go nearly four years and book only one female-fronted act? What even goes into booking a festival? Is red dirt a boys’ club? What does that say about one of the state’s most popular musical cultures — or even the broader music industry?

THERE’S NOT A CONSPIRACY Medicine Stone organizer McDaniel told The Oklahoman that booking for the festival isn’t personal, it’s business. “We have finite resources, and we can only do so much,” McDaniel said by phone. “This isn’t some big cash cow. We’re still trying to make it profitable and self-sustained. We’re building an event that we hope can last for years to come. First off, you gotta make it financially stable.” Medicine Stone works off a budget that’s
less than $100,000, which McDaniel estimates to be about a tenth of Muskogee’s upcoming G Fest, whose bill boasts bigger names: Kacey Musgraves, The Avett Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show. McDaniel, who also manages Boland and the Turnpike Troubadours, said booking Medicine Stone is a year-round process. The bands and festival organizers contribute headliner ideas and eventually sit down together. There’s a huge list and names are added as the bands tour the U.S.

“We organize our list into a hierarchy of bands,” McDaniel said. “We try to secure who we can with a small budget. ... It’s about doing what’s relatable to our bands and keeping red dirt Texas music intact. They stick pretty close to that. It’s never based on gender.” McDaniel said he was shocked when he caught wind of the gender discussion that emerged online, but acknowledged that women often don’t get the same exposure as male artists. “Next year, I’ll pay more attention to that since it’s been made an issue,” McDaniel said. “We’re trying to make the best event we can, so we can keep making Medicine Stone happen. It takes several years for these events to get to a place where you can get everything you want.” EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE HEARD Jamie Lin Wilson didn’t ask for the spotlight recently. “It was strange to me to be at the center of it, since I never set out to be, but I’m OK with it,” Wilson told The Oklahoman via email. “Like I said to Samantha Crain, I haven’t had this much attention on Twitter since, well, ever.” Wilson’s temporary celebrity also landed her on the blog Saving Country Music. She replied to country music blogger Kyle Coroneos’ lengthy article, which pointed out the lack of women in red dirt and Texas country music. “As the only female on the bill, I was put in a tough spot,” Wilson replied to Coroneos. “Of course I noticed when it was announced, and I noticed last year, too. And just like any of the other bands at the festival,
cover story
I’m just glad to be there.” Wilson aired a lot of the issues she sees in the “male-dominated world” of country music. She shared that fans still pay her backhanded compliments, including, “I don’t like chick singers, but I like you” and say they wouldn’t have even attended a concert if they knew a female musician fronted her band. Wilson often replies passively. “When folks say things like that to me at shows, I just say thanks and offer to send them home with a souvenir,” Wilson said. “I’m always polite and thank them for giving me a shot, and say I’m glad they enjoyed themselves. Most of the time, I offer them the names of some other acts they’d like if they enjoyed me.” Wilson said she doesn’t enter shows thinking she’s an underdog or underprivileged; she’s hoping to give fans a great performance. “Sometimes things don’t go your way,” Wilson said. “I’m not trying to trivialize the issue, because it is obviously something to talk about. I’m just saying that I don’t let it get me down. You can’t. You have to just keep doing what you do and hope that someone hears it and likes it.” Wilson’s stance on Medicine Stone is also complicated because of her relationship with organizers. “I didn’t know what to say because these guys are my friends,” Wilson said. “The Turnpike Troubadours are some of my closest friends in the business. I write with Evan (Felker). My husband and I have stayed at his house, and him at ours.” Wilson’s kids even call the Troubadours frontman “Uncle Evan.”

“I know their hearts, and I know they’re not malicious with their intents,” Wilson said. “Of course I’m honored to be the first girl at the festival, and I know that they put in offers to other females. I do know that I’m probably the only female who sought out the spot, and I don’t know why that is. ... Last year did a lot of good for me, I wanted to go back. The other bands on the festival are all so great, lyrically and performance-wise, and I don’t know of one I’d remove (other than myself) to put another female on. That team should be proud of the lineup they got, no matter the gender of the bands.” Discussing the underrepresentation of female artists isn’t a comfortable conversation, but one that some artists tackle head on. BECOMING THE TOKEN WOMAN Susan Herndon noticed right away when the lineup for the inaugural Red Dirt Harvest Festival at Okemah’s Grape Ranch was announced: 30 acts on the bill, and all of them were guys, except her. “The token female. I remember there was no awareness of that fact at the time, perhaps a murmur. ... And that’s funny to hear that things haven’t changed,” the Tulsa native said. That was more than a decade ago, and while the Red Dirt Harvest Festival is long defunct, Herndon said the problem of marginalizing women musicians remains rampant. She hadn’t heard about the controversy around Medicine Stone, but she wasn’t surprised. “The fact is, it’s their festival and they can do whatever the hell they want to do. There’s nothing really wrong with it.
It’s just a lovely bromance. It’s the Fraternal Order of Red Dirt. I used to rail ... about it quite a bit — and eventually I got completely marginalized and blackballed. I can laugh about it now and say, ‘Who cares?’ “ she said via email from a music festival in Filey, England. She said it was hard at first to feel excluded from the music community where she was once a fixture, but she no longer takes it personally. She just forges ahead making her music. “I’m not sure who all is on the (Medicine Stone) lineup but I love Evan and all those guys. Love the songs, love the music, love that community of people,” Herndon said. “But in the end, if you’re a woman in this world, playing music, you’re on the front line and you have to work hard to find your own way. (But then, it’s not really easy for anyone in this world, is it?) I’m much happier since I quit beating my head against the Land of the Bubba, the Redneck Taliban, the misogyny — it’s there, but the universe is humongous. And as they say, why go where you’re not celebrated?” Red dirt singer-songwriter Monica Taylor, who hosts the Cimarron Breeze Concert Series in her hometown of Perkins, said she books artists based on talent rather than gender, but believes that because she is a woman, she may be more mindful to feature both male and female musicians. “The guy bands definitely pull in a big crowd of people, so maybe they’re going with what bands they know are going to sell tickets,” she said of Medicine Stone. “The people that do come to that festival, they’re going to be the Turnpike Troubadour fans who are going to

be expecting a hard, country rocking experience. ... At the end of my show, you’re not gonna see a foot and a half of beer cans in the floor.” But Taylor said there are women on the Oklahoma music scene who would fit the Medicine Stone bill, and music festivals are a great place to expose fans to emerging artists, including women. “They’re still building it, even though it’s just really fabulous, and thousands of people each year come. ... But I do wish they would allot maybe two or three sets a day for female artists and bands,” Taylor said. “I do like people to hear female voices ... and there’s so many I can’t book ‘em all.” WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? Medicine Stone isn’t alone in the red dirt festival conversation, nor is it the only festival that has been criticized for failing to include women artists. Longtime Red Dirt Rangers singer/musician John Cooper helps organize and has booked five renditions of Stillwater’s Bob Childers Gypsy Cafe songwriter festival, where several female artists have performed. Along with Cooper and Co. picking songwriters they know, musicians apply through the Oklahoma Film and Music Office, and organizers choose from a list of applications. Cooper said there’s been a shortage of female performers in Oklahoma for decades. “Where are the women?” Cooper said to The Oklahoman. “We asked that question for years. For the longest time it was Susan Herndon and Monica Taylor. ... I would love to get more women involved in what we do.” Great songwriting is not tied to gender, Cooper said. “No male or female. It’s just a song. Women have a voice that has to be heard, especially with the talent we have now and aspiring talent,” Cooper said. “Over the years more and more women have got into it, and I’m really happy about that fact. There are some really great women performing in the Oklahoma music scene now, more than ever, and I think that’s great.” Although it boasts a different vibe

than Medicine Stone, the annual Illinois River Jam also takes place in September in Tahlequah and focuses on regional talent. But the 2015 jam, curated by Tulsa-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Travis Linville, included six female artists or bands featuring women on its 20-performer lineup. He hasn’t announced the slate for this year’s Sept. 16-17 event, but Linville said Crain and Grammy nominee John Fullbright have been confirmed. “I’ve known a lot of artists who have hosted music festivals ... and I feel like what they do is they look around to their peers, to their friends, the people that they work with, the people that they enjoy listening to, and they invite them to come play. I guess in my world, when I look around to my peers, to people that I enjoy hearing, people that inspire me, there’s a whole lot of talented women in that group. I don’t have to consciously make an effort to make sure there are a lot of women on the bill because that just already exists. There are just already talented women all around that I hear ... and that I’m proud to have at the festival,” Linville said. “So, there’s not really a conscious effort to it. I guess there probably would be at some level if I looked at the bill and there weren’t any (women). Then, I would definitely think, ‘Oh, that’s weird.’ ... At the same time, everybody has the right to put on any kind of festival they want, and everybody looks around to their peer groups. I imagine some people look around to their peer groups, put a bunch of male artists on a bill and look at it and don’t see anything wrong with it. That’s not how I work.” OKLAHOMA ISN’T ALONE Although he knows and likes the men who play and founded Medicine Stone, Linville noted that the red dirt and Texas country music scenes associated with the event don’t have the best reputation for nurturing female artists. For all its robust support of its male stars, Texas country sees much of its top female talent — including Miranda Lambert, Musgraves and hot new star Maren Morris — leaving for better opportunities in Nashville, Tenn. Not that Nashville gets a pass for its treat-

ment of women artists. Of the 19 headliners for next month’s massive four-day CMA Music Festival, only four — Underwood, Lambert, Little Big Town and Kelsea Ballerini — are women or include women. In both 2012 and 2013, just three of the top 25 artists on Billboard’s Top Country Songs chart were solo women. “You would think that we would be further along in the thinking about women in country music,” Underwood told Billboard in 2014. “We see new male artists have their first single reach No. 1 on the charts, but it generally takes a female a lot longer to build momentum. “I know that I am an exception to this, but I (also) know that if I hadn’t made my place in country music via ‘American Idol,’ I probably could have tried to make it for the rest of my life and never made any progress.” But country isn’t the only musical format in which women are underrepresented. Last month, one of the top festivals in the country, California’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, marked its ninth straight year without a female headliner. Only one woman has headlined the alternative-leaning festival since it was founded in 1999: Bjork, who topped the lineup in 2002 and 2007. The dearth of female performers — at a time when women rule the pop charts — has earned the festival the nickname “brochella,” according to the Los Angeles Times, which reports that fewer than a quarter of Coachella’s 167 acts this year were female artists or acts fronted by women. Still, that’s an improvement over 2015, when women were just 16 percent of its onstage talent. “People assume that it’s a complete accident or a bunch of fat cats sitting around a table with cigars thinking how can we oppress the women,” Andi Zeisler, a former music columnist and author of “We Were Feminists Once,” told the LA Times. “It’s not. It’s a cumulative problem, decades and decades of stereotypes and ambient bias against women in music.”

Plaza District set to add much-needed parking

P
arking in the Plaza District, often in short supply with the continued openings of new shops, galleries and restaurants, is set to almost double with the addition of up to 80 spaces this summer. Jeff Struble, who has redeveloped several historic structures in the district, is presenting plans to the Oklahoma City Planning Department’s Urban Design Commission to add a surface parking lot at 1618 N Blackwelder Ave., just south of NW 16. The project, Struble said, will include more than a dozen angled street spots. The application also calls for demolition of a duplex built in 1921. “It needs a lot of work,” Struble said. “It has foundation issues; the brick is bad. It’s coming down.”
LOOKATOKC.COM
The surface lot is designed with cement drives and crushed granite spaces. Struble said the parking lot should open as Goro Ramen + Izakaya opens in an adjoining renovated apartment building at 1634 N Blackwelder Ave. “This will be a huge increase in parking, and it’s very needed,” Struble said. The Plaza District, located along NW 16 between Classen Boulevard and Pennsylvania Avenue, has emerged as a popular mixed-use community from what was a blighted, crime-ridden old commercial corridor 20 years ago. Just six years ago, the district had no restaurants; now it is home to six restaurants, an ice cream parlor and pie shop. Cayla Lewis, director of the Plaza District, said the new parking is only part of an array of
responses underway to balance parking needs with being pedestrian-friendly. Several businesses, she said, have a ban on employees parking on NW 16, and property owners are working with tenants to provide them with back-alley parking and spots along NW 15. “We have been working closely with property owners, business owners and the city, as well as talking frequently with the OU Institute for Quality Communities about parking solutions,” Lewis said. “As new businesses come to the district, the need for more parking increases, but we do hope to continue to promote the walkability of the area. Fortunately, several employees and business owners actually live in walking or biking distance, as well.” May 18 - May 31, 2016

Delmar Gardens latest chapter in Farmers Market resurgence

May 18 - May 31, 2016
elmar Gardens made its debut earlier this month as Farmers Public Market continues to reclaim its past as a destination for community gatherings, crafts, eclectic shop offerings, bars and restaurants. Named after the early-day amusement park and beer garden that once stood along what is now the Oklahoma River, Delmar Gardens is a 3,000-square-foot dining pavilion that seats up to 100 people. The venue, which includes a 1952 Dodge pickup at the entrance, has 10 electric-powered spaces for a rotation of food trucks and mobile retail vendors. “We want this to be a family friendly spot for food trucks to make their home when they are not out doing festivals and special events,” said Bud Scott, who is developing the Farmers Public Market and adjoining properties at 311 S Klein Ave. “It’s a setup where it’s not loud because the trucks are plugged into electrical outlets.”
The Delmar Gardens name is a nod to the city’s earliest entertainment district. It operated from 1902 to 1910 and was home to an amusement park and roller coaster, a 3,000-seat theater, a dance pavilion, a horse racing track, a baseball park, swimming pool, the city’s first zoo, a beer garden, arcade, hotel and restaurant. Most of the area was torn down, however, when the amusements were done in by mosquitoes and Prohibition laws passed after statehood. In 1928, John J. Hardin built the 40,000-square-foot Farmers Public Market where Delmar Gardens stood. For decades, the market was a destination where the upstairs was host to a variety of big-name boxers and performers. The area was a destination for fresh produce through the early 1990s, but fell on hard times as the west fringe of downtown was overcome with blight. Scott, who works with the McAnally family that owns Farmers Public Market, started redevelopment efforts a few years ago as LOOKATOKC.COM

Urban Agrarian, 1235 SW 2, brought produce, dairy and other natural foods back to the forefront in the Farmers Market district.Power House opened a couple of years later at 1228 SW 2, adding a pub with an outdoor patio and live music to the district. Anthem Brewing opened at 908 SW 4, just east of the district. And then, last year, Scott relaunched movie showings and weekly produce markets. Combined with the antique shops that still operate around Farmers Public Market, Scott believes the area is succeeding in once again becoming a destination. The landmark itself underwent a makeover the past couple of years that included restoration and repainting of the exterior, improvements to the second-floor concert hall that once hosted Barack Obama, and addition of a bar and upgraded sound systems. Empty stalls to the west of the landmark, once filled with produce vendors but empty in recent years, also are being leased again. “We’ve got artists doing sculpting work, people doing bike work, plant stands, a little bit of everything,” Scott said. “We’ve had a constant line of people, investors and speculators trying to buy property. Everyone is circling the area like vultures.” Upcoming additions include The Loaded Bowl, a popular food truck operator working on moving into an old produce storefront at 1211 SW 2, just two doors east of Delmar Gardens. David Wanzer, Ben Sellers and Jonathan Dodson, partners in the Pivot Project, are renovating a second former produce storefront at 1205 SW 2 that will be home to a restaurant and bar and the Silo, a crafts and retail collective that will include a woodworking artisan, photography and screen printing. Scott hopes such growth will spur a partnership with the city to continue the resurgence. Talks are LOOKATOKC.COM

underway to work on gateway signage, a comprehensive plan and encouragement of development that will focus on local, independent businesses. Scott said WW Steel, located just east of the district, is helping to create two large markers. All of this change is occurring as Film Row development is extending west to the eastern boundary of the Farmers Market district with the opening of the 21c Museum Hotel, renovation of Sunshine
Cleaners into a brewery, and the upcoming $60 million mix of housing and retail around all sides of the 21c Museum Hotel. Dodson expects the future downtown boulevard, being built along the old alignment of Interstate 40, will draw it all together. “Farmers Market doesn’t seem so far away anymore,” Dodson said. “It seems as if it’s a stone throw way from everything else is going on.” May 18 - May 31, 2016
