2. I sat down with Jabee and Cameron Neal, of Horse Thief. The Okie musicians are both performing inaugural concerts at the revitalized Tower Theatre. I spoke with them not only because they’ve released excellent albums recently but also to make sure the venue is opening for real this time. Pinch me. It’s finally happening.

link, and it’ll be summer in Oklahoma. I wanted to take a moment to remember a few things before I forget them and it’s 2018 already. Here they are:
1. I road tripped with LOOKatOKC’s pop music writer Matt Carney at the beginning of the month to see a Texas songwriter named Terry Allen. When I first heard Allen’s music, I figured he was a contemporary to the rising indie country wave that’s headlined by the recent works of Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell. I was way off. Allen released two knockout records in the late 1970s named “Juarez” and “Lubbock (on everything).” Both were recently reissued by Paradise of Bachelors, but “Lubbock” is my favorite and holds up with an abundance of humor and wit. I enjoyed this excerpt from the record’s Pitchfork review: “Terry Allen released ‘Lubbock (on everything)’ via the minuscule Fate Records in 1979, just as the outlaw country movement started to run out of gas. Allen never was an outlaw. He was an outsider, a visual artist who wrote songs on the side and played museums instead of honkytonks.” Allen performed selections from both albums at Dallas’ Kessler Theater, and it felt as if Carney and I were time traveling. Maybe it was because of the high-point beer. Maybe it was because Carney’s Goodwill shirt belongs in a Western history museum. Almost certainly, it was the great classic music. PAGE 4

3. Did you watch the Grammy Awards? Okie talent won a few statues. My excellent co-worker Brandy McDonnell pointed out Ryan Tedder, Vince Gill, Pentatonix and Ron Howard are the creative minds with Oklahoma ties who earned golden gramophones in 2017. Congrats to them. 4. I attended Carly Gwin and the Sin’s EP release concert at Opolis, and the talented songwriter ended her set with a flurry of bubbles from a strategically placed set of fans and a bubble machine. More concerts should end like this, even if that guy in front of me got bubble soap in his eye. It’s well worth the risk.

5. Have you been to Saint’s Pub in the Plaza District recently? Well, the restaurant, bar and venue has kicked up its music game. There’s rarely an evening they don’t have an act booked on their stage. I can’t think of a better way to soundtrack a nightcap.

Nearby, a stocked liquor store has remained closed for about the same amount of time. A segment of The Underground tunnels that leads to one of downtown’s most popular attractions remains unfinished and closed off to the public. A 33-story slide, meanwhile, remains a tempting ride for the few who know of its existence.

SITES CONTINUED FROM 6 a small sign remains, but the store hasn't been open since Ronald Reagan was president. The store really is a 40-square-foot closet where bottles could be ordered up by members. Before the passage of liquor by the drink, state laws required restaurant patrons to order a bottle from a detached liquor store that would then be stored for the patron. The bottle storage area still displays lists of the civic giants who once patronized the restaurant, including oil man John Kirkpatrick, banker Jack Conn and retailer C.R. Anthony.

a desolate ring of surface parking around the Hightower until downtown’s fortunes began to rebound in the late 1990s. Even with the revival, the timing never seemed right for finding a new life for the Cellar; construction projects have continued almost nonstop around the property for the past dozen years with rebuilding of streets, construction of a garage and current development of the adjoining BOK Park Plaza tower. Once the tower is complete, Hightower and his leasing manager, Chuck Ainsworth, believe the timing may finally favor the Cellar. They both say, however, they will only do a deal with the “right” party who has the right concept and sufficient financial backing and resources.

CELLAR DWELLER TUNNEL VISION That restaurant was the Cellar, which also still exists in the basement of the Hightower building at 105 N Hudson Ave. Opened in 1964 by banker and building owner Frank Hightower, the Cellar restaurant was designed to be among the city’s swankiest destinations. The entrance lobby is built from marble, and custommade light sconces with the Hightower coat of arms are still displayed throughout the space. The restaurant spans 6,500 square feet, half of which is in the extensive kitchen area that includes a marble-top baking area, two large soup vats, and enough cooking space to accommodate not just a restaurant but a sizable catering operation. Johnson Hightower, the current owner, thinks the time is nearing when the space may be leasable again. It closed in July 1984 during the oil bust. Blocks of surrounding properties had been cleared, creating

Walk a block north of the Hightower, and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art stands where the Centre Theater stood empty and blighted for more than a quarter century. The theater was rebuilt as part of the museum’s move to downtown. But visitors may not realize that The Underground pedestrian tunnels that now terminate at the Oklahoma County Courthouse, actually extend under Hudson Avenue. When the tunnels were being built in the 1970s, several future segments were built anticipating development that never proceeded. Such was the case with a tunnel segment that ran under Sheridan Avenue between the Myriad Botanical Gardens and Devon Energy Center. When the tunnels were being built, the Devon headquarters site

Those tunnels never opened and were eliminated over the past decade. But the unfinished tunnel remains between the courthouse and the art museum. City engineers once estimated the cost of outfitting the tunnel with electrical and air ducts and creating an opening in front of the museum would be $700,000. To this day, it remains unused with no plans to create an entrance in front of the museum and extend The Underground.

PENTHOUSE VIEW When the Colcord Hotel opened in 1910, it was an office tower and stood as the city’s first “skyscraper” at a then awe-inspiring 12 stories high. News accounts at the time recorded more than 10,000 attended the building’s grand opening. The city’s chamber of commerce quickly claimed the building’s 12th floor, while also using a penthouse abutment above that opened to a rooftop garden. From the penthouse and garden, chamber boosters showed off the city’s growing skyline to business prospects. The Colcord long ago lost its status as the city’s tallest building and is now a boutique hotel. The penthouse is used for storage, but still has an opening out to the roof where the iconic Colcord neon sign lights the downtown skyline.

dealership at 308 NW 10 consists of three adjoining buildings, the oldest of which was built in 1923. Tenants included a Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership from 1932 to 1942, and in later years a tire shop. The property turned into a virtual junkyard, and windows damaged by the 1995 bombing remained boarded up over the last two decades. The owner of the property, Ahmad Bahrereini, was cited more than a half-dozen times for leaving inoperable vehicles in the property’s front lot. Kayla Baker, managing partner of Northline Development, has spent the past few years
building homes in the southwest “SoSA” area of Midtown, and in early 2016 she secured a purchase contract for 308 NW 10 that had alluded other aspiring buyers. She initially hoped to complete the purchase in spring 2016, but removal of clutter and debris lasted months. That $1.2 million sale closing hit in December and Northline’s construction crews quickly started renovations. The trees and brush growing from the boardedup windows and the roof were yanked.

Window orders are on hold; Baker is awaiting word from the restaurant operators as to whether they want glass overhead garage doors instead.

Once completed, the redevelopment at 308 NW 10 leaves only empty lots in the district, most owned by Midtown Renaissance, awaiting to

A drive along the corridor a decade ago included views of the long boarded-up Hotel Marion (now upscale apartments), flop houses Hadden Hall and the Cline Hotel (also apartments), and the shuttered Packard building at NW 10 and Robinson (now restaurants and shops). The historic mid-20th century fabric of NW 10 in Midtown has been revived and brought back to life — and much like the early 20th century architecture preserved in Bricktown, these buildings will frame the look, vibe and identify of Midtown for years to come.

Tall, slender trees take on a wraithlike aura in a night-cloaked Japanese forest. “These photographs are attractive, but they also make you feel a certain way and they make you think. That’s always a nice little combination when you’re appreciating art,” said Francesca Giani, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art’s curator of modern and contemporary art. The museum is showcasing photos that are both delightful and disconcerting with its new exhibition "The Unsettled Lens: Photography from the Permanent Collection.” The show includes almost 90 images by 16 American and Canadian photographers all exploring the notion of the uncanny. “The uncanny is an idea, a concept, with which photographers have sort of played with almost from the very beginning of photography. So, the exhibit sort of gives you a visual representation of how it reoccurs in photography throughout time,” Giani said.

“It’s loosely described as a sense of attraction that we feel toward something — so in this case, an image — but at the same time a sense of unsettlement that we feel when we look at that image.

The museum marked the recent opening of “The Unsettled Lens” and “After the Floating World” with "An Evening of Art & Performance.” The special preview event included live music by Norman band Magnificent Bird, performances by RACE Dance Company and Reduxion Theatre Company, poetry on demand by Kerri Shadid, a screening of the Oscarnominated animated short films and printmaking demonstrations. “Usually, that’s our members-only preview, but we decided to open it to the public to kind of introduce people to what a members preview is typically like,” Weintz said. “Because we have all these local
performers that are coming, we really wanted to get the community involved as much as possible.”
UNCANNY EXPLORATION “The Unsettled Lens” is showing for the first time several photographs from two recent gifts to the museum. In 2015, the museum received a gift of 50 photographs by Brett Weston from the Christian Keesee collection. Since 2004, the Oklahoma City native has donated more than 400 photographs SEE UNCANNY, 15

ART SPEAKS
UNCANNY CONTINUED FROM 14 by the noted American artist to the museum. The exhibit is featuring several of Weston’s signature high-contrast blackand-white images, especially his eerie landscapes, his mud and rock abstractions and his striking images of dead animals and bones. “He’s taking nature … and turning it into an abstract image. But his images often are menacing. He gets almost creature-like formations out of the natural details,” Giani said. “He creates such contrast that his photographs have a very graphic quality. It’s just black and white … and sometimes you don’t even know what it is that you’re looking at. But it’s beautiful, and at the same time, it’s a little disquieting.” In 2016, Keesee also donated a large gift of Canadian paintings and photographs to the museum. The gift includes photographs from Stan Douglas, Angela Grauerholz and Ambra Polidori that are on view in “The Unsettled Lens.” Featuring images from the turn of the 20th century to the year 2000, the exhibit also includes works by Ralph Gibson, Wynn Bullock and William A. Garnett. The exhibit’s earliest images come from photo secessionist Edward Steichen, who was part of one of the first movements in the medium’s history. “Photo-secessionist photographs adopt a soft focus style. … They wanted photography to kind of look at painting — a fine art — as a way to elevate photography at a time when photography was not considered a form of art,” Giani said. “Through the soft-focus technique, he creates very eerie scenes. For example, his photograph of the Flatiron, the iconic building in New York, he stages the photograph and he presents the building a way that makes it look almost like an overwhelming menacing presence. So, in that case, he’s referring to the uncanny quality of urban life
LOOKATOKC.COM
… when industrialization was kind of affecting the life of people in the city and there was a sense of uneasiness associated with that.” Texas-based Tulsa native Amy Blakemore, known for her evocative images captured with cheap, plastic Diana cameras from the 1960s, contributes one of the few color photos in the predominantly black-and-white showcase. “I think what people will like is that every single photograph has its own really unique story. So there’s a story about the photograph, there’s a story about the photographer, and there’s a story about the uncanny quality of it,” Giani said. “(They’re) very engaging photographs from a visual perspective, but also from the point of view of content and this element of the uncanny.”

SONGWRITER CONTINUED FROM 16 the songwriting definitely isn’t feeble. In fact, every release from Torres is a marked improvement, but tracks flutter and float with the ease of a single feather caught in the wind. I messaged Torres via email to learn more about his live show, Ecuador and his winding path back to Oklahoma.
Q:
Your songs are gentle and have a fragile quality to them. I’d be afraid that a talkative crowd would ruin a show. What’s it like performing your material live? Adam Torres: It’s a balance and process in understanding how different venues and crowds work, but I’m always trying to keep an open mind about it all. Hopefully, both the audience and the performers can place mutual understanding and value in one another.
Q:
Your bandmate Thor Harris is a popular collaborator. How’d you meet and what’s he like to tour with? Torres: Thor and I met a couple months before we made our last record, and I met him through friends in the Austin music scene. He had been in bands and touring from Austin for the last 25 years and everybody in town and everywhere we tour loves Thor. He’s the best. He is everyone’s friend and has a love for everyone we meet. It’s inspiring to be traveling with him and making music together.
Q:
Austin, Texas, has a famous reputation for hosting live music. Do you feel like the city fosters growth and creates a healthy community for musicians? Torres: There are a lot of musicians and people enthusiastic about music that live here. So, in theory, Austin is a great place to live for musicians. One thing that is prohibitive of musicians is the increasing cost of rent to live here, as well as pragmatic ways to make a

living as a touring musician. The city is working on affordable housing in some cases, but most people I know are getting priced out of their homes and are having to figure things out on their own. This isn’t unique to Austin, but it’s a serious problem here.
Q:
You’ve spent time teaching English in the Ecuadorean Andes, so it sounds like you’re no stranger to traveling. Was that an important experience to you and what do you like about being on the road? Torres: My family has moved a few times growing up. So, I feel happy when traveling or not staying in the same place. Living and working in Ecuador changed my life and those times and experiences changed the way I approach and think about music, too, and sometimes appear in the songs I write. Being on the road can be a good way to meditate on life and songs and how they intersect but also to learn from people and musicians you play with or meet while traveling, too.
Adam Torres’ new EP, “I Came To Sing The Song,” is scheduled to release Friday via Fat Possum Records. [PHOTO PROVIDED]
Q:
Your second album took roughly a decade to release, so what’s it like to have more new material ready so quickly? How often are you writing? Torres: I haven’t stopped writing in that time and actually there are a lot of songs I just haven’t shared with anyone or I haven’t finished. I’m hoping that those songs will see the light of day sometime, somehow. Anyways, I still write out of habit, and it seems like I’m always thinking about new ideas and melodies and what a song could be.

Q:
You’re pegged as a folk singer in a lot of press material. What’s that label mean to you? Torres: I don’t really know what folk music means anymore. And I don’t think of myself as a folk musician so much as a storyteller. I want to make something honest and imaginative first. However people choose to categorize it is beyond my control.

ou’re being fake on the internet. Jonathan Garrett is guilty of it, too, but the Oklahoma City singer-songwriter just needed to vent about it. That’s how the song “Valencia” was born under his musical moniker Johnny Manchild. “It was one of my drunken middle of the night writings,” he said in a recent interview. “It’s basically just me complaining about the insincerity of Tinder and Facebook, and how people seem to have lost the ability to be themselves. You pick your favorite things about yourself, then blast those on social media and everyone just looks so perfect.” SEE Q&A, 19

Q&A CONTINUED FROM 18 “Valencia” is the title track on Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards’ debut EP, which landed digitally Feb. 17 and was celebrated in concert. Garrett, 21, plays alongside a sizable band, all with University of Central Oklahoma connections. Ethan Neel (drums), James Thompson (bass), Ben Wood (trumpet), Taylor Doak (trumpet) and Jamey Levy (guitar) round out the current Poor Bastards lineup. The band recorded in Edmond and raised funds via the crowdsourcing website Indiegogo. I caught up with Garrett via email to talk about his piano-led pop balladry and new album.
Q:
Your biography mentioned that you’ve been working on music for a dozen years. What’s the path been like leading up this debut EP? Garrett: My first experience was actually playing drums in a band from Norman called Refuje with Ford Chastain, Troy Cheshier and Jay Harp. This was in 2006, so I was 10 or 11 at the time. We did pretty well, even got flown out to Los Angeles by FOX for a TV show. After we broke up, around when I was 12, I used my portion of the band funds to get some recording equipment, and I think that’s when I started writing my own songs. I learned guitar, bass and piano during my time at Classen SAS, and my songs started to suck less and less as time went on. Around 18, I played drums for Corporate Ghost for a hot second, while I was working as a recording engineer at our own studio, Wasted Space. I joined the Army Band, left for about seven months and then came back to join The Happily Entitled as a songwriter and bassist. That ended in February of last year, and I decided at that point that I wanted to put a band together to play live and actually give my own music a shot.
Q: What have your shows been like so far? Garrett: Our shows are the best shows I’ve played, out of every band I’ve been involved with. Our first show at Sauced on the Paseo was packed. I’m not even sure how honestly. Every show we’ve played has been a blast, and people seem to dig it, which is always a plus. I’ve cut my hand up a little punching my piano at shows, but it just sounds and feels better when we play. I’m not sure how our shows will evolve, but they get more fun every time.

I imagine your music gets you comparisons to Ben Folds. Would you list him as an influence? Garrett: I would say he’s a major influence, yes. I heard him the first time when I was 8, even though I didn’t know it. He had a song, “Lonely Christmas Eve,” on the album from “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.” I’m a massive fan. There’s so much that I like about him. It’s honestly hard to pick. He doesn’t have a perfect voice, and the music has mistakes, but it’s human and it’s great. ... He does his own thing and writes the music he wants to write, and I think that’s exactly how it should be.
Q:
You’re not afraid to throw some salty language into your songs while you dig through what feels like some honest storytelling. Is that intentional? Garrett: I have language in my songs just because that’s the way I talk. I never think too hard on the lyrics, and I think things tend to come out
more honest that way. The majority of these songs are extremely personal. A lot of it is about getting screwed over by musicians I’ve worked with, losing a girl over some not so awesome decisions I made, cheering up depressed friends and calling out a girl who was not so nice to me. It’s all stuff that happened, and I wrote it out the best I could.
Q:
What was it like working with Bryce Zabric at The Music Group in Edmond? Garrett: Recording with Bryce was the absolute best decision we made. I posted on Facebook that I wanted to work with some engineers at my own little studio at home, and he messaged me about working with him. We did “Annie” with him with the intention of only recording that one song, and ended up doing everything we could to do the entire EP. ... We only planned on doing five songs, but it all went so well and so fast that we went ahead and added two more. The record sounds amazing, and I’m still happy as hell that we managed to fit so much in with so little time.

OKIE ALBUMS
UPCOMING 2017 Okie
album RELEASES
HERE’S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. In 2017, you’ll have more Okie albums than you’ll know what to do with. Here’s a comprehensive listing of what’s landing throughout the year. If there’s something missing then feel free to email me an update. Otherwise, start getting excited. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC Editor SAMANTHA CRAIN, ‘YOU HAD ME AT GOODBYE’ (MARCH 24 VIA RAMSEUR RECORDS) One of Oklahoma’s most reliable and relatable songwriting talents returned to Oakland, California, to collaborate on a set of 10 tracks with producer John Vanderslice. Each song ended up with a personality as strong as Crain’s voice. Electronic and synthy fingerprints pop up all over the place on a record that stretches far beyond a typical Americana offering. In 2017, you’re going to hear a lot about Crain’s fifth studio album.

HARUMPH, ‘THREES’ (FEB. 24)) ( Harumph spent five days inside Norman’s 115 Recording tearing apart songs and putting them back together. Multi-instrumentalist David Leach said he couldn’t be happier with the results. “Listeners can expect 11 tracks that feature a mixture of pop and Americana tunes with a taste of jazz,” Leach shared via email. “The lyrics, melodies and instrumentation of each song are simple and purposeful. What you hear on the album is a polished studio version of a live show.” Bearden native John Fullbright and Wes Sharon produced the album which features Leach, Kate Dinsmore, Kiel Dehnert and Marcus Spitz. Also, Fullbright shows up on the album in addition to Alan Orebaugh. BRIANNA GAITHER, ‘VANITY’ (FEB. 24) This album could’ve also been titled “Ambitious” because Oklahoma City’s Brianna Gaither recorded “Vanity” in 10 locations throughout the metro area and each song with a different producer. “The nature of the project has given the collection of songs exceptional variety,” Gaither
said via email. “On this record, you will find everything from praise songs to break up songs in styles ranging from raw and acoustic to pop and electronic. To me, this album represents the true variety of life: it exists outside of boxes and always within the realm of risk.” The album also is a companion to an upcoming documentary called “Resonate.” It follows the record’s recording process and explores the “theology of creativity.” THE LUNAR LAUGH, ‘MAMA’S BOY’ (FEB. 24) This LP was recorded all over the place: Oklahoma City, Norman, Nashville and even Los Angeles. Connor Anderson, Jared Lekites and Campbell Young comprise the trio. “It’s a bit of a different vibe than our first album because we’re exploring some different styles and moods, but it’s still very much a Lunar Laugh album,” Lekites said. PAUL BENJAMAN, ‘TWILIGHT OF TERRITORY’ EP When Tulsa’s Paul Benjaman needed to make room for the 12 songs on his 2015 release “Sneaker,” a few extra tracks didn’t find a home. Until now. “ ‘Twilight of Territory’ is an EP for fans that were curious about the spare songs from those sessions,” Benjaman shared. “Much of the 4-song EP represents a progressive take LOOKATOKC.COM

Spring AARON HALE, ‘WILDFLOWERS & ATOM BOMBS’ Aaron Hale injured his hand last year, which delayed the completion of his upcoming album. “Wildflowers” features several new tracks and drumming from Matt Duckworth of the Flaming Lips. Hale collaborated with Bell Labs in Norman and listed Leon Russell, Jeff Buckley and Cat Stevens as influences. He also explained the title of this album to LOOKatOKC. “The message is clearly about an emerging world where global warming, drone wars, global nuclear war, transhumanism and technology fighting against the natural world, love, and the cosmos,” Hale said. HANIWA, ‘VIOLENT SUN’ This Oklahoma City outfit started recording a full-length album inside the now defunct Size Records location on Western Avenue but relocated to ACM@UCO’s studio in Bricktown. Dylan Walling promised more of the same indie pop and accessible arrangements from Haniwa’s first album, higher highs, lower lows and more polish by a large margin. “We wrote the material for the album almost three years ago and are just now committing them to tape,” Walling said. “Also, while in Size Records, we recorded a large part of the album next to a hanging poster that was just a collage of nipples.” SEX SNOBS, ‘EMOTIONAL STUFFING’ It’s not every day an Okie band packs up for g enChicago and records with famed recording gineer Steve Albini. This full-length punk offering from the Oklahoma Citybased band won’t disappoint. “The independent music scene is the bread and butter of this studio,” Albini told LOOKatOKC in 2016. “Those are the people that we built this studio to be a resource for, the independent and underground music scene. So, that’s a principal clientele. Those are the people that we work LOOKATOKC.COM

with every day, and when I say every day, I mean every day. I work every single day making records with people in bands precisely like Sex Snobs.” JUDITH, ‘NAMES’ Oklahoma City-based Americana trio Judith features the talents of Kinsey Charles, Lynn Neill and Morgan Ward. The band’s debut aims to capture their harmonious sound. Lunar Manor, a literal underground studio located in Oklahoma City, hosted the recording session and Brine Webb recorded the effort. “We are really proud that with Brine’s help we were able to produce a full album that is true to what we present at our live shows,” Charles said. “It’s got a listening room feel to it. We included a brand-new song on the album that we’ve never performed anywhere.” NATURALIST, ‘EVERYTHING IN ROTATION’ Ashton Prescott is growing up. The Okie singer and frontman said he has matured as a songwriter and is tackling the cycles of life and mental health on his band’s latest record. “I believe the album is a cohesive collection of our most experimental and accessible songs to date, all while staying true to who we are as individuals and a band,” Prescott said. “Fans of any of our three prior releases will find something to like on the album.” MALLORY EAGLE, UNTITLED EP Mallory Eagle ventured to ACM@UCO to record her first collection of songs. hrough “The songs are intimate and written through atOKC. personal experiences,” Eagle told LOOKatOKC. hat can “When writing I wanted to make music that take you to a vulnerable place and that iss relatable.”

SAINT LORETTO, ‘DEPTH/S’ EP Evan Crowley fronts Saint Loretto and wrote, arranged and self-recorded nearly every instrument you’ll hear on this New Order and The Cure influenced album. Tyler Garcia of 33rd Street Studio mixed and mastered the ’80s-tinged rock effort.
“We’re doing a little tour in Europe this spring so now we have something to share over there,” Herndon said.
JENKINS VALLEY, EP Rock and subtle bluegrass influences will combine on this fresh self-recorded effort that features the talent of two sets of siblings and gruff vocals.
BRAD FIELDER, ‘VERNACULAR SONGS VOL. 1’ Just a man in his home with a guitar and his voice. Those are the ingredients for an upcoming acoustic folk collection from Norman singer-songwriter Brad Fielder. He also recorded with Breathing Rhythm Studio last year and a second album of full-band Americana arrangements will land later this year.
Summer LAUREN BARTH, ‘FORAGER’ There’s just something about Fellowship Hall Sound, and Lauren Barth joins the cast of stellar Tulsa-based talent to record at the Little Rockbased studio. The recent Los Angeles transplant collaborated with Jesse Aycock on the 11-track collection. “It has an old school songwriter vibe with mystical accents,” Barth said. “It’s imperfect, delicate and sounds like a storm on the plains.” JOHN CALVIN ABNEY, UNTITLED LP With singer-songwriter John Calvin Abney, it’s best not to expect just one record. Between countless collaborations and an upcoming lo-fi tape EP, the Tulsa-based troubadour said he’d likely return to Fellowship Hall to record a follow-up to “Far Cries and Close Calls.” “The songs are based around fictional character stories I’ve written concerning present day issues and problems,” Abney said. “The listener can expect stripped-down, atmospheric arrangements and dark ambience over strange-chorded folk music.”

SUSAN HERNDON AND THE BELLA COUNSEL, UNTITLED LP Tulsa native and multi-instrumentalist Susan Herndon just spun out a new EP to give a sneak peak of this full-length collaboration with Mousetrap Studio engineer Carl Amburn, guitarist Bob French and drummer Randall Coyne.
K.C. CLIFFORD, LIVE ALBUM RECORDED AT THE BLUE DOOR Oklahoma City-based songwriter K.C. Clifford will record two nights at the listening room on March 25-26. So, here’s a chance to have your clapping heard on a professional recording and hear some quality songwriting.
CHRIS COMBS, SELF-TITLED LP Here’s yet another Tulsan who made the trip to Fellowship Hall, but Chris Combs also headed south to New Orleans to record horns with Brad Walker (sax, Sturgill Simpson), Dan Oestreicher (sax, Trombone Shorty), and Carly Meyers (trombone, Roar) at Marigny Studios. “It’s all instrumental, cinematic jazz and hiphop influenced stuff with a dirty, rocking edge,” Combs said. CAMPBELL YOUNG, UNTITLED LP This Oklahoma City-based pop enthusiast is kicking off the first entry of his five part concept album that mixes influences from The Killers, Joy Division, Bruce Springsteen and Andrew W.K. “Basically, it’s the first part of a narrative concept album about a ninja who discovers the existence of life and the acceptance of death,” Young said. “Sounds ’80s-ish like my stuff has for a while but now with a healthy blend of real instruments.” DYLAN STEWART, ‘SCARECROW SESSIONS’ North Broadway Studio is hiding about an hour west of Oklahoma City. The Hydro studio is where Norman’s Dylan Stewart holed up to record nine new songs alongside Ryan Houck. Expect guest appearances from Mike McClure, Scott Evans and Bryon White on this sophomore solo effort. “It’s as honest as I’ve been as a writer,” Stewart said. “And that may cause some folks to be alarmed when they hear the content of these songs, but it’s been a year of personal loss, new found awareness, focus and progression as an artist and player.” LOOKATOKC.COM
OKIE ALBUMS SHUT UP MATT JEWETT, SELF-TITLED LP Wave goodbye to the folky punk efforts of Matt Jewett’s earlier work and say hello to a four-piece band that’s plugged in and more aggressive. Oklahoma City’s Jewett worked alongside Kendal Stephens of Red Audio Werks for the upcoming LP. L.T.Z., ‘SOPHISTICATED SLABS’ Rapper Tony LeSure promised listeners can expect to hear some refreshingly original sounds. On L.T.Z.’s latest full-length album, he’ll mix hip-hop, soul, R&B and elements of gospel into the narrative of his life. “I will continue to push my ‘everyman rapper’ style over unique production, mainly led by Chips,” LeSure said. “This is an album where my father is playing a huge role in recording. I’m also working with Cooki Turner, Sarafina Byrd and WoRm, heavily.” HELEN KELTER SKELTER, ‘MELTER’ You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but an album title often can be fitting. Expect a healthy dose of mug melting psych rock from Helen Kelter Skelter.
Late 2017 RED DIRT RANGERS, ‘LIVE FROM THE BLUE DOOR’ The Red Dirt Rangers have been talking about doing a live record for more than 20 years. They finally committed to recording this album during three nights at Oklahoma City’s favorite listening room. “I think the catalyst in the whole thing was the death of Tom Skinner,” RDR frontman John Cooper said in 2015. “Greg had always wanted to make a live record on Tom at the Blue Door, and now you never have that possibility. So, he really started bashing on us and said, ‘Look, I want you guys to make a live record. No more screwing around, OK?’ “ JARED DECK, UNTITLED LP Weatherford-based songwriter Jared Deck plans to return to 115 Recording in Norman to collaborate with Americana wizard Wes Sharon. “I feel I’ve come a long way since we recorded the first album,” Deck said. “The next record will showcase more of my gospel roots and bluesy vocals than the first album did.” LOOKATOKC.COM

NUNS, ‘THE GHOST INSIDE’ Nuns frontman Hank Hanewinkel worked alongside his father at Tulsa’s Valcour sound to follow up 2014’s “Opportunities.” “You can expect progression from the first album,” Hanewinkel said. “I utilized more keyboards on this album than the first album. The lyrical theme of this album is about change, becoming someone you’re not, and though you see this change happening, you allow it to happen.” KALI RA, UNTITLED LP Okie David Goad will record at Bell Labs in Norman and aims to combine influences ranging from funk and jazz to create a deeply orchestral and atmospheric experience. Goad said his lyrics focus on the death of his son and the suicidal depression that followed, the birth of his daughter and a lot more. “The lyrics are commentary on social, political, and personal changes,” Goad said. “... It will be stylistically unexpected, artistically fulfilling and thematically heavy. A musical equivalent of Picasso’s ‘Guernica.’ ”

LCG AND THE X, ‘BAR FRUIT’ Four good friends decided to drink boxed wine and start a band. Guitarist Pilar Guarddon said LCG and The X are working with recording engineer Samuel Welchel at Lunar Manor on a proper record. “Listeners will hear a heavy-handed electric crunch of guitar mixed with a melodic screech of analog synthesizer, driven by forward smashing drums and licked up with a bottom heavy bass line,” Guarddon said. “To top it all of Morgan Hartman blankets the chaos with vocals carrying the conviction of a dictator, or a preacher. Whichever suits your fancy.” TJ MAYES, UNTITLED LP Expect a darker rockabilly record from TJ Mayes as he looks to record a new record in Los Angeles and release it before he starts a month of touring in Europe. KAITLIN BUTTS, UNTITLED LP Country fans should feel at home with another batch of familial, fun tunes from one of Oklahoma freshest songwriters.

STORY
Big Kemp chases a dream on track debut BY NATHAN POPPE | LOOKatOKC Editor
Y
ou don’t have to be another statistic. That’s the advice Chris Kemp’s dad used to give him when he’d get into trouble growing up. The Oklahoma City-born rapper fronts the project Big Kemp, and he took that wisdom to heart on a new song. Kemp, 28, grew up on the east side of Oklahoma City, and he looked to his roots for inspiration on “Life.” “You can still rise above the gangs, drugs and have a normal life,” he said in a recent email interview. “It’s just up to you. ... Hopefully, people will get the positive message because regardless of what anyone says you are in control of your on destiny. You just have to have faith.” The song features solid production and a confident flow from the Okie rapper. Rap was just a hobby until 2005 when Kemp started recording music after a friend secured recording equipment. “Life Is What You Make It” single He pursued things seriously cover. You can stream the track after another rapper named exclusively on NewsOK.com/blogs/ Kswiss died shortly after. middleofnowhere. [IMAGE PROVIDED] “I started making more and more music to keep his dream alive,” Kemp said. “He’s honestly the reason I make music.” Kemp worked alongside Ceasar, a producer, and invited Okie singer Gabrielle B. to contribute a hook on “Life.” As soon as he heard the backing track, he knew she’d be a fit. I have to agree. Although hip-hop remains relatively young in Oklahoma, Kemp said it’s growing rapidly. “I honestly feel like we are overlooked by mainstream due to having such a small market, but overall I feel like Oklahoma has what it takes to make an impact on the industry,” Kemp said. “We just have to be more united, and it will happen soon.”

A lot of bands drive through Oklahoma and take the time to visit for a concert on their way to the music festival. I’d highly suggest catching CLOSENESS while they’re in town. The band features married duo Todd Fink, frontman of alt-rock outfit The Faint, and Orenda Fink, of Azure Ray. “A little over a year ago, I had surprise heart surgery, and it really shook up our worldview,” Orenda recently told East of 8th. “There was something about that experience that made us streamline how we looked at life. If we wanted to do a project together, we decided to do it now, no time like the present.” The synths are heavy and the music is extra moody. Don’t miss this show.
