Y
ou ever have a case of the Mondays? Not like the lighthearted, humorous one from “Office Space.” I’m talking like a Monday where you watch a car crash into a building. On my way home from work last month, I was hit by a another driver. My car stopped in the intersection but the other car didn’t. The Eulberg Law Offices, 925 NW 6, were greeted with a giant pickup truck in the front lobby. Thankfully, it was in the evening and everyone had gone home. Nobody got hurt in the incident but I walked away with a lesson.
All the fun music stories that I covered in this issue could have easily been my last if that oncoming car had smacked my the driver’s side of the vehicle. It’s not fun to think about. I was reminded that the fun I have at concerts is a luxury. One that could disappear in a flash. I also thought about someone less fortunate than me getting into this accident. About a person not having a phone handy so they can send pictures to their family, not having a car equipped with any air bags and about getting worried about how to get to work the next day. I can’t even imagine living in Oklahoma City without a car. We’re about as walkable as pit of fiery hot coals. I guess I’m trying to say is that I feel lucky and Mondays are awful. The fun distractions this city has to offer are plentiful but they’re fleeting in the face of the aftermath of a serious incident. I don’t know why I got to walk away without as much as a scratch but I’m thankful I did. I called my friends and told them I loved them, I made some bad jokes about almost dying and I started moving on. There’s not much else I could’ve done. If anything, I’d like to be a reminder that everyone should slow down out there. We’re next to Texas, but we don’t have to drive like we’re in Texas. Y’all should LOOKatOKC and the road, too.

ust minutes into the Coen brothers’ Oscar-winning adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel “No Country for Old Men,” Javier Bardem’s remorseless, alien hit man Anton Chigurh lobotomizes some poor sap with a cattle gun and steals his car, but the scene isn’t the film’s opening series of shots. No, instead the Coens establish a profound sense of isolation in the rugged and craggy, but low-slung and far-reaching mountains of the west Texas Trans-Pecos, a region so sparse that some counties’ population density comes out to a couple of people — or even just a fraction of a person — per square mile. Not only is nobody coming to save you from the villain unbound of the social contracts of morality, the Coens seem to say, but in a desert this vast your body may never be found at all. Recently, I vacationed there. “There,” specifically, is Marfa, Texas, population near 2,000, which serves as the seat of Presidio County and is home to a decommissioned U.S. Army fort turned art museum. You’ve probably seen pictures from Marfa on Instagram and swiped along assuming it was Austin. The quirky town boasts more than a dozen art galleries, a nearly century-old hotel built in the Spanish Colonial style, boutiques that sell handmade soap and designer dresses, arts festivals, a coffee roastery and a surprising number of fine-dining options, considering its location in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert. Most point to Donald Judd when asked how Marfa’s relationship with the arts began. Seeking a respite from the bustle of New York City in the 1970s, the noted critic and sculptor purchased a lot of land around Marfa — including the former Fort D.A. Russell — set up the non-profit Chinati Foundation and, as you do when you buy a lot of land in the middle of nowhere, started installing art out there. Just, like, in the middle of an open field. A stark, impersonal set of 15 rectangular concrete structures sit out in full view of the highway, like Stonehenge, but with 90 degree angles. Seeing it wasn’t the last time that weekend that I was shocked by artifice set against an inhospitable landscape. April 6 - April 19, 2016

Since the ‘70s, Marfa’s reputation as an artist enclave has blossomed. Beyoncé even visited a few years back, which worked a lot better than saying “artist enclave” when I explained to people why I was spending two whole vacation days driving through nine hours of ruinous west Texas hellscape. The city hosts music and film festivals that infrequently churn the economy — I went during Marfa Myths, a festival put on by the indie record label Mexican Summer — though the presence of the Hotel Paisano (which opened in 1930) and the many books and artifacts available to peruse in its lobby speak to a much longer history of tourism. Big Bend National Park, several sprawling ranches and state parks all lie within driving distance, but it would seem that Marfa has long been a retreat for those seeking peace and quiet. The scenic views are just pluses. It turns out that isolation — the nearest large U.S. city, El Paso, is a three-hour drive away — is both bug and feature to Marfa. The drive
was tedious and long, leaving my girlfriend and I somewhat unsettled at one point. We were hours deep into west Texas oil patch, our supply of “Serial” podcast episodes depleted. Each passing truck dwarfed my red hatchback, worsening the feeling that we were out of place. We feared a blown tire. But the mood lightened around Pecos when the first far-off peaks came into view. The remaining hour’s drive rewarded our efforts with idyllic scenery: the maroon clay and vibrant green scrub of the Davis Mountains. It sounds a little corny, but its isolation really does make everything about Marfa that much cooler and more oasis-like. At night, for instance, the stars become luminous, their shine amplified by the lack of light pollution. A few different locals informed us that the city uses a special type of dimmed street lights, and sure enough, step out on to the main drag anytime after about 8 p.m. and you can spot the big constellations like a 16th Century conquistador.

• TEXAS FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Our first night in town we had reservations for Cochineal, a Ludivine-like, dinner-only spot off San Antonio Street that, like many of Marfa’s restaurants and galleries, is obscured by a lack of lighting and signage. Inside, a modest bar serves high-end booze and regional micro-brews to about 30 dimly lit seats. The menu changes weekly, based on nearby producers’ stock and what’s growing in the restaurant’s vegetable garden. In a failed attempt to spend under $50, we sampled appetizers, our favorite being a very salty quail served on a bed of crispy polenta and topped with a tart lingonberry sauce. A few beers later, we crossed the street to Boyz II Men, the local taco trailer, where the guy taking orders either seized an opportunity to mess with a few inebriated tourists or else had dedicated his business to the undoing of the food truck craze. Probably both. When quizzed about portion size, he repeatedly answered “Most people get four,” and referred
us to an FAQ with sarcastic answers — including, again, “Most people get four” — taped to the window. By the time we figured out what we wanted to order, he took down the name “Ethan” — neither my or my girlfriend’s first or last names resemble “Ethan” — and offered us free beer. “Well, the beer’s free,” he said with a straight face, slamming down a couple of lukewarm cans of Lone Star. “But it’s $5.00 for the mugs you drink ‘em out of.” Stamped on our mugs, of course, was the slogan “Most people get four.” The next morning we set into town, where we learned a lot: Marfa has an NPR station! They shot “There Will Be Blood” on a nearby ranch! Everything also is an art gallery! Daniel Day-Lewis could be seen jogging through town that summer! The Presidio County Courthouse was built in 1885 for $60,000! Conveniently, it’s also located a block from our Airbnb, salmon-pink and the town’s largest landmark. Our stay in Marfa had become idiot-proofed.

Marfa Myths’ main lineup of bands didn’t start ‘til that evening, so we checked out a small cafe called Do Your Thing for coffee and breakfast. It’s essentially a big shed, topped by a tin roof. Inside, a matronly woman in a dress and apron prepared heaping chocolate scones, frittatas and made-to-order bowls of porridge from an open kitchen while a wide-set man dressed all in black took coffee orders from behind an amply stocked bar. I drank my pour over and leafed through the Big Bend Sentinel (sample headline: “Howard is first woman Page 12

county commissioner, we think”) while we waited on the porridge, which turned out to be two hard eggs, a couple of sausage links and some fried kale served over a bed of quinoa mixed with something a hint sweeter, maybe maple syrup. Your local Starbucks never stood a chance. Early in the afternoon we gathered with about 250 others to hear the avant-garde ambient artist William Basinski perform at the Chinati Foundation, which is that decommissioned U.S. Army base turned art space. With-
out getting too much into it, Basinski’s music is about decay: It’s composed of old recordings that disintegrate as they pass through the tape loop he feeds them through, adding little creaks and cracks and pops to the ambient sounds he first recorded some 30 years ago. The pieces he plays for us are beautiful and sad, lasting about 40 minutes in total. Aside from the occasional shuffle of a neighbor, the only other sound heard in the warehouse was the roof rattling from strong winds. Nature reminding us what decay is really about. LOOKATOKC.COM

We checked out a couple of galleries that afternoon, including Marfa Contemporary, which we learned is an extension of the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center, based in Oklahoma City. It’s a relaxing space — a reclaimed car garage or gas station painted a sedate blue and white — showing works by a local woman, and I’d put it in my top five spots in town to take a selfie. Also up there was Donald Judd’s big field of concrete installations at the Chinati Foundation, which gives tours of Judd’s home and works for $10 to $25, depending on how much you want to see. (They also give student discounts.) Some other places worth visiting if you ever go to Marfa: •Frama’s Coffee & Ice Cream, which conveniently shares a building with a Wi-Fi equipped laundromat, and served us a couple of scoops of oatmeal cookie-flavored stuff that was out-of-this-world-good. •Pizza Foundation, which we found out was in danger of closing a few
years ago until Marfa residents — fearing the loss of one of their limited number of eateries — rushed to its rescue with an $80,000 Kickstarter program. (One gentleman we talked to at the bar there showed us his reward for donating, which was a coupon for five free large pizzas.) •Museum of Electronic Wonders & Late Night Grilled Cheese Parlour played an old David Bowie movie in black-and-white while we waited on our grub in between festival acts. (Easily the quirkiest place in a very quirky town). •The very chic Marfa Book Company is located in the lobby of the brandnew Hotel St. George and sells books on just about everything about Marfa, its history and artwork. •And, should you need any of the creature comforts of home, The Get Go Grocery, open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., probably has them in stock. •Patios: If you combined all of Marfa’s patios into a single mega-patio, you’d probably have enough open space to host a soccer tournament;
my only regret from our visit was not having enough time to casually enjoy them all. They range in size and shape from Planet Marfa’s ample, enclosed beer garden to front- and back-yard numbers for entertaining small parties, or perhaps just a bit of secluded mid-afternoon reading. Maybe three cars passed in the hour I spent on the porch of our Airbnb with the new book by Ben Ratliff. Wholly undisturbed. •And of course, there’s Prada Marfa, which is neither a functioning Prada store nor located in Marfa. You have to drive about 30 to 40 minutes north and west, past the 187-person town of Valentine, where, much like Donald Judd’s concrete structures, it just sits out there along the highway, art of commerce installed in the least practical location imaginable. It sits on the southwest side of the road, facing northeast, so the best time to photograph it is at sunrise, I learned, as we arrived in the heat of the mid-afternoon.

I drove all that way for Sheer Mag... ON THE MAP
Two other tips if you ever go to Marfa: 1. Grab a map and scribble down hours of operation as you see them listed. While unfolding and refolding something so unwieldy every couple of minutes is certainly uncool tourist behavior, it’ll save your smartphone’s battery and data. Plus, Marfa’s much like a ski or beach town in that everywhere keeps odd hours that fluctuate with the seasons. Google-powered listings can’t keep up with human circumstance. 2. Two full days is just about the right amount of time to take the town in at a leisurely pace. Anything less would feel like a rush — those patios aren’t going to enjoy themselves, after all — and anything more would probably warrant a day of exploration at Big Bend or one of the nearby state parks. The festival itself was tightly run out Page 14

of the Capri, a new restaurant and club with a sprawling patio across the street from the Thunderbird, a trendy roadside motel where many of the performers and out-of-town visitors were staying. Inside the Capri, a raised stage sat in a garage-like space with room for some four or five hundred people. Fashionably dressed concertgoers ambled in and out between sets, chatting, drinking, laughing. If it weren’t for the local flora growing in the nearby courtyard and a couple of hirsute ranchers, the venue and its congregants wouldn’t have looked out of place in Manhattan or Los Angeles. A two-piece version of the Baltimore post-punk outfit Lower Dens got the music started, filling in last-minute for a cancellation by the reclusive Emitt Rhodes. After that came a carefully arranged, intricately harmonized performance by the retro-psychedelia band Quilt and a louder, lower-stakes
set from Brooklyn art-punks Parquet Courts. But to me, they were warmups. I drove all that way for Sheer Mag, a band that, to that point, had only existed to me as something on the internet, to be streamed through headphones and lauded on Twitter. But the tire-pealing squeal of Kyle Seely’s lead guitar announced their presence with roughly the same surprise and force as if they’d entered the venue by bulldozing through one of its walls. Stiff-lipped riff-rock had no business in the middle of the desert, but hey, neither did we. Sheer Mag performs live at the 2016 Marfa Myths music festival. [PHOTOS BY MATT CARNEY]

t’s not easy to have a good time in Austin, Texas, during South By Southwest. I’ve gone several times to shoot photos, and I usually end up completely exhausted and waking up just long enough to fall back asleep on a plate of breakfast tacos. It can be fun, but the music festival portion of the event feels like work.

Maneuvering through mind-numbing traffic, outsmarting thousands of tourists and trying to catch bands gets exceedingly more difficult every time I visit SXSW. That’s why I jumped at the opportunity to drive several miles north of the Black Friday level of craziness that is downtown Austin and visit Spicewood, Texas.

Tucked away between hilly country roads, Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion music festival offered a peaceful, mostly successful alternative to SXSW. It’s the sort of festival where the host’s personality is louder than the music. Luck Reunion is on his land, after all. In the VIP lounge, I was greeted with a pack of rolling papers, and it didn’t seem weird for a second. Nelson’s branded marijuana business followed me on Instagram immediately after I tweeted from the festival. Luck Reunion attracts a very particular and Americana/ weed-loving crowd that’s really there for the music more than anything. I’ve never met a friendlier festival crowd. Did I mention that Bill Murray was hanging around the festival, too? Roughly 4,000 patrons attended the Luck Reunion, which is spread between three modestly sized stages and somehow never feels crowded. A chapel, revival tent and main stage are only minutes apart from one another and feel like they were planted in an old Western movie set, complete with wooden facades and even a saloon. It didn’t hurt that there were couches and copious amounts of shade from trees to pad the concert experience. Every set I saw was exceptional, and Oklahoma talent had a strong showing, with performances from Parker Millsap, John Moreland, John Fullbright, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Horse Thief. I felt a swell of pride hearing people buzz about who they were excited to catch. No less than 10 people were saying they had to hear Moreland’s set.

The Oklahoma Citybased band rocked a little harder than most of the acts in attendance.
SET REVIEWS These were the sets I caught during the Luck Reunion. Song swap featuring Jonny Fritz, Andrew Combs, Robert Ellis, Shelly Colvin, Sam Outlaw and T. Hardy Morris As Robert Ellis finished a song, he looked up at the crowd in the revival tent and as politely as possible asked everyone to shut up. The acoustics of the tent made it easy to hear more than just the band, and any stray conversations could be heard by Ellis. It was a cool sight to see that request heeded, and when Johnny Fritz followed up with a funny, loose performance (complete with an intentionally bad guitar solo), it was all the funnier. This great collection of musicians kicked off my day and alone was worth the price of admission. The Black Lillies This Tennessee-based band was one of the more surprising acts at Luck Reunion. I had no expectations when its set began, and I wanted to join the couple dancing throughout the crowd when it ended. Horse Thief As the crowd size began to swell around the main stage, Horse Thief started its afternoon set. The Oklahoma City-based band rocked a little harder than most of the acts in attendance, but its pastoral anthems still fit comfortably in the festival’s lineup. Their highlight was a faithful, fiery cover of David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel.” Aaron Lee Tasjan I sat far away in the shade and ate a lobster roll during Tasjan’s set. He’s incredibly talented, no matter how closely you listen. Download his latest effort “In the Blazes” immediately. John Moreland would want you to do it. Ray Wylie Hubbard I’m late to the RWH party, but I thought his set was hilarious and fun. The Soper native, 69, spent most of his formative years in Texas, but Oklahoma should be proud to claim him, too. Check out the song “Snake Farm” and try not to sing along. Matthew Logan Vasquez MLV’s music project Delta Spirit is taking a break, but he’s not slowing down at all. The Austin-based singer-songwriter performed new solo songs, Middle Brother tracks and a few Delta Spirit favorites. Early in the set, Vasquez accidentally cut his thumb on his guitar, and an adorable pink princess named Amelie Bryne, 8, came to the rescue with Disney-themed Band-Aids. This was a bloody, beautiful experience.

Jenny Lewis and Lucius The rain forced this impromptu set to happen inside a tiny chapel with no more than 20 people inside. The two bands performed acoustic renditions and shared songs off of their latest albums. Something like this is so rare and special that it’s almost unfair for me to talk about it. Patrons tried climbing in through the chapel’s windows to catch a glimpse, but most fans settled with sticking their heads through windows to hear the remarkable, intimate set.

W H E N N AT U R E C A L L S
The only major hiccup came from Mother Nature when a thunderstorm spoiled a few sets, including a secret visit from Kacey Musgraves. Dressing for the weather was impossible Friday. Between the heat of the early afternoon and the wet, chilling storm, no outfit was safe from either sweat, cold or mud. The sky opened up in the early evening and drenched the festival grounds. Total buzzkill. It was handled well, though. Event organizers and security made sure everyone found cover and shooed people away from looting the bars filled with leftover bottles of booze. Instead of cheering for bands, patrons ooh’d and ahh’d at the lightning’s performance. However, no amount of rain could totally hinder the Luck Reunion experience. Out of boredom and an enthusiasm for performing, many musicians started impromptu sets in barns, houses and even truck trailers. You can’t really put a price on moments that unscripted and unique. Jenny Lewis didn’t need to stay late into the night and play a rescheduled set in a cramped chapel, but she did.
“This is off the cuff, guys,” Lewis said to the crowd with a smile. Surrounded by bandmates and family, she performed a brief acoustic set unlike anything you could hear at a big festival. Even the Luck Reunion’s merch booth had a personal touch. Each T-shirt was screenprinted in front of buyers and had to cool down before you could wear it. That’s the mark of a festival that’s about more than bands or organizers scoring a paycheck. It really felt like a community, and I didn’t want to leave. However, the rain closed most of the food trucks, and I needed dinner around midnight. I left before Nelson capped off the festival at the overcrowded, muddy revival tent. The rain had shut down main stage where Nelson was scheduled to play but it was better than it not happening at all. I left wanting more. I was exhausted again, but for the first time, I couldn’t wait to return to Texas next year. It wasn’t luck that made this festival great. It was hard work and a lineup of musicians that looked to be having just as much fun as the patrons. TOP: Jonny Fritz performs his song during a song swap at the Luck Reunion music festival.

en Folds has been making pop music longer than I’ve been alive. He’s battled being labeled as a “novelty act” for his hilarious piano ballads, but nothing slowed him down from releasing his most ambitious project to date. Fold’s 2015 release “So There” boasted a supernatural sense for crafting catchy pop songs and he mixed well with yMusic Ensemble. The album also features a piano concerto performed by the Nashville Symphony.
Q: Myself, and I’m sure a lot of orchestra enthusiasts, were excited to hear there was a concerto with three movements on the album. What made you want to close the album with it? Was it intentional for the concerto to land there? Ben Folds: I think the sequencing decision to make it last over the record was one of going, “OK, well you’ve come from what I normally do.” (I decided to) start with pop songs with a small chamber orchestra, and then you’ll understand the thread when you hear the concerto. I won’t be so sudden. It makes sense. I think it’s important for people to feel the thread. ... It’s really easy to just fold your arms and go ... “OK, what pretentious s*** has he done now?” If you’re warmed up to it by the time it’s there, it seems more logical. Q: I saw you play with Oklahoma City’s Philharmonic Orchestra in 2011. That was a fun show and made sense in the Civic Center venue. So, what’s it like touring with a pop chamber orchestra and playing in rock clubs? Is there a difference depending on the room you play? Folds: Oh yeah, there is. I mean, it’s a lot smaller, obviously, and these guys are very specific. When you’re charting for an orchestra, ... I mean you have to be good, but you know it’s more interchangeable. The thing with live music is that ... it’s very much based around how many musicians you’ve got, so it’s sort of like a rock record in that way. Just because someone plays guitar, guitar, bass and drums doesn’t mean they’re The Beatles. It depends on who the people are, like what band is that? It’s really based on their personality. My music group is very much like that. They’re like a rock group in that you can’t replace them. You replace them and they’re someone else. Page 22

BAND TITLE, ‘ALBUM TITLE’
Music feature
Q: You’re pretty well known for your voice. At any point during the concerto, did you find it weird that you weren’t able to sing? Folds: No, I enjoyed the angle of telling the story without the lyrics. .... It has a flow. A piece of music has a flow that somehow develops evolution in a story and has cadence to it. I think it’s good for my chops. It’s good for my imagination and it’s good to listen to, for me, too, because it moves things for me that lyrics could step on. Q: You had a lot of starts and stops during the months it took you to write the concerto. Can you give me an idea of just how much work went into writing the movements? Folds: Yeah, it’s always involved painful concentration that I would just have to go, “Stick with it, stick with it. What next?” It’s like when you have to crunch numbers in math and you don’t wanna do it. It was good to have a co-orchestrator sort of person there. That was really helpful for me because it kept me to appointments, which I think is really important when you’re writing long-form material. (Similar to) when you’re writing a book, like OK, well here’s my thing. I wake up in the morning, I stretch out with my coffee and then I go into my writing room and I stay there for six hours a night and then let myself out. I don’t work that way when I’m making pop music because you don’t need to really, but for this, I had to. Every day would be a few hours, for four hours maybe, and I would schedule the guy to come over to my house with his computer program so he can input the notes. A lot of times I would have a lot of the stuff written on scraps of paper, it would be on a (digital) voice note or I would have it memorized. I would try to get 15 seconds of finished orchestra a day. Q: A lot of the album feels cinematic. Almost like listening to a film score. Are you big soundtrack fan? Folds: There are good ones and bad ones. I’m usually not that aware of a soundtrack because the story is being told by something else and not the soundtrack. ...

anymore — it certainly is in movies, and movies are relevant. It’s just they’re taking on a different role. I don’t really think about movie music that much. I know some of it’s great. I think about the very well deserved (Oscar) award for “The Hateful Eight.” I thought that f*****g soundtrack was f*****g great. Now that was pretty artful. That’s rare. I think everyone knew it immediately. Wow, it’s just the best thing about this movie is the soundtrack and that’s saying a lot because the movie is great but the soundtrack is certainly one of the stars.
Q: I read you started outplaying your piano teacher at age 10. What was that like? Folds: She was like a babysitter who could play a little piano. There was another cat I was with for a while and he was just really supportive. There were things I was playing that he would want to know how I did them and so I think it put my mother off one time to pick me up because she could hear from outside the door that I was showing him over and over again how to play this riff and he was like, “That’s so f*****g outside man. How did you do that and what finger goes where? That’s crazy.” And I was actually learning by that, but I think probably my mother’s view was, “I’m not paying this guy to take lessons from my son.” There was a little bit of that attitude, but I learned a lot from the two teachers that I had.

PARKER MILLSAP
cover story
Parker Millsap is on his way to becoming a household name. That is unless the world ends first.
P
arker Millsap gets a lot of confused voicemails these days. That’s what happens when your outgoing message says you’re either away from the phone “or the rapture has occurred and you missed out,” and promises to get back to the caller “if the pale horse doesn’t do it first.” The Oklahoma singer-songwriter, 23, might have end times on his mind, but at least he’s awfully cheerful about it. “If it’s gonna happen, what am I gonna do about it? So, I might as well sing something fun about it and have fun. I don’t have to be sad about the end of the world,” Millsap said with a laugh when he called back before the pale horse could make an appearance. “People do get worried about North Korea and Iran and their nuclear weapons and whatnot … but there’s nothing you can do about it. If it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen. It’s not in my control. Might as well laugh at it. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.” That enlightened attitude became a running theme on his new album “The Very Last Day,” which takes its title from a track with a Motown groove that contrasts perkily with lyrics about the very last day before the Earth goes up in a mushroom cloud. The follow-up to his acclaimed 2014 self-titled national debut was released March 25 on his Okrahoma Records, with distribution through Thirty Tigers. APOCALYPTIC STORYTELLER Although he relocated to Nashville, Tenn., last year, Millsap wrote much of the album in his former Guthrie home during the gloomy winter of 2015. The Purcell native, who was raised Pentecostal, said the gloomy weather influ-
enced his thoughts of the end of the world. “You’ve been in Oklahoma in the winter. You know what it’s like there. … It was just cold, gray, brown, and to kind of fit the theme, I was reading a lot of kind of apocalyptic books. And I was watching ‘The Walking Dead,’ so I just kind of got in that mindset,” he said. “It’s fascinating, I think, and I’m not the only person that it fascinates.” As with his 2014 national breakout, his new album also reflects his ongoing fascination with religion, from the fiery opener “Hades Pleads,” which boogies through references to Greek mythology, to his “Tribulation Hymn,” a mournful mountain air that tells of a man left behind after the rapture. “Because I grew up in it, it’s easy for me to go there. Also, I still find a lot of things — and not just Christianity and not just religion, but pretty much any spirituality, anything like that — interesting to me. We believe some interesting things as a race. With this record, talking about the end of the world, that goes back through all religions. All religions have some sort of doomsday prediction,” he said. “You know, some people use religion as an excuse to do things that are questionable, and other people use religion and faith to check themselves and keep themselves from doing the questionable thing. And I think it’s interesting how it can be used.” “The Very Last Day” also showcases Millsap’s burgeoning interest in crafting characters and telling their stories in song, whether he’s singing from the point of view of a desperate military veteran struggling to feed his family (on “Hands Up”) or a gay son pleading with his religious father for understanding (on “Heaven Sent”). Not only does he perform

M
uch has been written lately about Oklahoma City’s renaissance. The city has been lauded as a place where community thrives, where jobs are good, where people have carefree fun and where there is relatively little worry about the economic perils the rest of the country is experiencing. For the average man or woman working at a downtown firm and driving a Lexus, life is great. But there is far more to Oklahoma City than what we probably come across in our daily life. For some who live here, Oklahoma City is not the bustling, thriving, enlightened place everyone seems to think it is. When we talk about the Oklahoma renaissance, we forget all about the people it left behind. We forget about the teachers who haven’t gotten a pay raise since 2008. We forget that the people responsible for educating the next generation of Oklahomans are barely paid enough to keep them out of poverty. We forget how Oklahoma pays its teachers far below what our neighboring states pay
them. And we forget that with a $1.3 billion budget shortfall, none of that is likely to change soon. When we talk about the Oklahoma renaissance, we forget that just a couple weeks ago, state legislators voted in favor of a bill that would ultimately remove 111,000 people from the state’s Medicaid program. We forget that these aren’t high-earning individuals, but rather single parents who make less than $9,500 every year. We forget that almost 70 percent of those 111,000 people are women. When we talk about the Oklahoma renaissance, we forget that Oklahoma is ranked among the highest in the nation for women killed in domestic disputes. We forget that 593 Oklahomans, mostly
cover story
women, were killed by their intimate partners between 1998 and 2013. We forget that more than half of the counties in Oklahoma lack a shelter for victims of domestic violence. When we talk about the Oklahoma renaissance, we forget that a quarter of all children in Oklahoma are at risk of going to bed hungry tonight. We forget about the nearly 700,000 adults who are unsure about where their next meal will come from. We forget that one in 16 Oklahoma seniors are also at risk of going to bed hungry tonight. I, too, am guilty of bragging about how Oklahoma City’s districts, restaurants, festivals and local

from these characters’ perspectives, but he also possesses a “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” empathy for their plights. “A lot of the songwriters that I listen to, that’s what they do, from Springsteen to John Prine to Tom Waits, you name it. They write songs about other people, and I just like that. I feel like it’s an effective way to tell a story. Also, I’m a big fan of short stories and novels, and I’m really interested in characters. So, it just seems like a natural extension. A lot of times song ideas, for me, sometimes it’s a turn of phrase or something, a little musical idea, but a lot of times — and on this record particularly — it’s kind of a character idea. Like ‘what if there’s a guy who blank,’ and then fill in the blank and
try to fit a story around that little parameter,” Millsap said. “I try to see the good in people, and again, it kind of goes back to books. A lot of novels that I read, there are characters in the book that are complicated, that are conflicted, that are doing things that are questionable, but can you blame them? … Sometimes from their perspective, it’s not as crazy as it seems.” NEW HOME BASE After working with Norman producer Wes Sharon on his previous two albums — 2014’s eponymous effort and 2012’s stripped-down local release “Palisade,” Millsap teamed for the first time with Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dixie Chicks, Prine). He co-produced “The Very
Last Day” with Paczosa after meeting him a few years ago at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. “He is very attuned to the acoustic sound of an instrument. He knows how to make those translate into a recording, which it is kind of tricky to really make an acoustic instrument sound as three-dimensional as it does in person when it’s coming out of a speaker. And he’s really good at it … and he’s super easy to work with,” Millsap said. “He’s really good at his job, and he pushes us into doing things that maybe we wouldn’t have done otherwise. A lot of the electric guitar on the record, I was thinking more acoustic, but he said, ‘nah, let’s do electric on a few songs.’ … He kind of nudged me toward certain

decisions that I probably wouldn’t have made on my own, which was great.” Millsap and his bandmates even got to live at Dockside Studio in Maurice, La., for two weeks while they were working on the album with Paczosa. “The Very Last Day” features Millsap on guitar and vocals, Patrick Ryan on drums and percussion, Tim Laver on keys and accordion, and Millsap’s longtime touring partners Michael Rose on upright and electric bass and Daniel Foulks on fiddle and violin. When Millsap decided to move to Nashville, Rose and Foulks opted to relocate to Music City, too. “The record says Parker Millsap or whatever, but I think of it as like I’m in a band,” Millsap said. “A lot of it just has to do with touring. We make a living
cover story
touring, so when you’re 12 hours from a city on the East Coast, it makes it harder. … There are a lot more places to play, just a lot more people. We can go on a little tour four or five days and then drive three hours home instead of driving 15 hours home.” Provided the pale horse doesn’t pay him a visit, Millsap will be back in Oklahoma for an April 7 show at The Vanguard in Tulsa. Along with electronic music iconoclast Dan Deacon, he also will headline the seventh annual ACM@UCO Metro Music Fest April 8 in Bricktown. Millsap will take the main stage on the southwest corner of Reno and Oklahoma avenues at 9:15 p.m. “I love Oklahoma, and it will always be home,” he said.

Since 1967, the festival of the Arts has been Oklahoma City’s rite of spring. The free event is a community celebration of the visual arts, performing arts and culinary arts. A variety of children’s activities are featured in the Youth Plaza and around Festival grounds. Arts for children and families include hands-on activities in the Children’s Art Field for just $2. The Young-at-Art Mart is the children-only shopping venue with all artwork affordably priced at $5 or less. Families also can visit the facepainting station, Pottery Place and Creation Station.
Visual arts More than 500 artists applied and submitted work for the Festival jury process. The 144 chosen artists are some of the nation’s finest. Media includes oils, water, drawing and printmaking, photography, ceramics, glass, sculpture, fiber, jewelry, wood, and two and three-dimensional works. Culinary arts From appetizers to desserts, the festival is a celebration of the culinary arts! Thirty-one vendors bring their specialties to the International Food Row and throughout the grounds. Each food vendor is partnered with a local arts organization, so each bite you take supports the arts in central Oklahoma. Performing arts Nearly 300 entertainers of all ages donate their performances on three stages at the festival.
