hey aren’t as pretty as claimed by their inventor, but the mechanical parking meters, launched in Oklahoma City and sold worldwide are about to disappear from downtown streets. Over the next few months, removal of hundreds of parking meters will begin as they are replaced with a digital system that is entirely new for locals. Known as “pay-by-plate,” the system creates a standard two-hour time limit throughout downtown, but with a stiffer rate of $2 per hour. Instead of inserting coins and moving a lever, as

SEPTEMBER 21–OCTOBER 4, 2017
is common with many of the decades-old meters downtown, or paying for a sticker to place in the windshield of one’s car, the new system requires entry of the driver’s license plate. The era of parking meter limits ranging from one hour to two and five hours also is coming to an end with creation of a standard two hours.
METER HISTORY But back in 1935, the mechanical meters wowed the world after being invented by Oklahoma City businessman Carl Magee and first installed in front of First National Bank.
Before Magee tamed urban street parking, he was an attorney and then a journalist who helped crack the Tea Pot Dome scandal during the Warren G. Harding presidency. After starting a newspaper in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Magee was hired by Scripps Howard in 1927 to edit the chain’s daily Oklahoma News in Oklahoma City. The oil boom hit Oklahoma City that next year, and thousands of cars suddenly filled downtown streets. After being appointed to the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s traffic committee, McGee toyed with creating a coin-operated timer to regulate parking SEE METERS, 6

METERS CONTINUED FROM 4 on downtown streets. After creating a prototype in 1932, Magee filed for a patent and spent several thousand dollars creating the Park-O-Meter Company. Three years later, he struck an agreement with the Oklahoma City Council to install meters on one side of each street. “I feel excessively diffident in admitting that I am an ‘inventor,’ ” Magee said. “The fact is that I began a study of the over-parking problem purely from the standpoint of the interests of the retail merchants and their customers. When I concluded that the mechanical and automatic control of parking in the congested area was the only sensible solution, I employed engineers and mechanics and worked it out.” Magee discovered he was as unpopular as his invention as the meters hit the streets in 1935. A reporter with The Oklahoman noted comments on the parking meters “varied from rich purple Anglo-Saxon through noncommittal ‘mmm-mms’ to saccharine approvals of 'cute.' " The chaos that first week was recorded by Oklahoman reporters. Resident Harry Neuffer perspired. He spent all day violating the new ordinance trying to get arrested and make a test case of it. Police politely refused to arrest him. Ed Buttefield threatened to join attorney Melville Boddie in suing the city. Newsboys invented a device to beat the meters, depositing a nickel while striking the box with force with one hand while turning the switch with the other hand. The blow caused the meter to jam, giving the motorist all day parking for a nickel. When City Manager Orval Mosier learned of the scheme, he scratched his head, saying “I don’t believe we have any ordinance to prevent that. But there may be a state law.” “If you just have to slug anything, don’t slug a park-o-meter,” The
PAGE 6
URBAN HISTORY
Oklahoman advised on its editorial page. “That costs $11.” Magee defended the parking meters, citing a study that concluded 20 percent of population worked downtown and was “taking possession” of 80 percent of curbside parking spaces throughout the day, depriving shoppers and visitors of any place to park. Even store clerks were taking spots needed by their customers. “The streets in the business area had become one vast parking lot for all-day parkers, instead of a place to leave a car temporarily while shopping,” Magee said. “This is an injustice to both merchant and would-be customer.” Adequate parking enforcement was not feasible, Magee said, and would require 16 traffic officers. The meters, he added, only needed two officers for enforcement. He also predicted the meters, which could run for 15-, 30- or 45-minute spans to one hour would win support. “This little meter is attractive,” Magee said. “It will dress up the business streets.” The meters never won popular support from residents, but it did win over merchants and other cities dealing with similar parking challenges. He challenged Oklahoma City to see its role in launching the parking meters as an opportunity to grow a local employer. “Oklahoma City is the hometown of this device,” Magee said. “I predict that, within a year, its use will be universal in the cities of the country. Why should not the hometown folks encourage its development and give me the advantage of trying it out here? We try to develop home industries. That is we say we do.” Magee’s predictions were correct. Dallas added the meters in September 1935, and a year later Magee’s invention had spread to a dozen cities from Kansas to Texas. The rest of the country, and the world, followed suit.
The invention of the parking meter in Oklahoma City was not well received some residents who filed lawsuits while others tried to jam the devices. [THE OKLAHOMAN ARCHIVES]

URBAN HISTORY
METERS CONTINUED FROM 6 Between 1935 and a temporary halt for the war effort in 1940, the company sold more than 50,000 parking meters. In Oklahoma City, the meters eventually covered the entire urban core with posts along NW 23, Classen Boulevard and even as far west as NW 16 and Pennsylvania Avenue. The current system is generally located between Lincoln Boulevard, Classen Boulevard, NW 10 and Reno Avenue. Magee’s company was based in Oklahoma City but contracted production with a Tulsa manufacturer. In 1956, an Oklahoma City plant was added employing 100 employees. Rockwell International moved the manufacturing to Russellville, Arkansas. In 1963. Park-O-Meter
LOOKATOKC.COM
purchased the manufacturing operation and also moved to Russellville in 1976, where it remains today under the name POM Inc. Production ended long ago for the parts that once kept the mechanical meters running. The Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority replaced more than half the mechanical meters a few years ago with digital meters that provide a receipt to be placed in the car windshield. The surviving mechanical meters date back to the 1960s and have been kept running with salvaged parts. Once pulled, they will be sold at auction. While the mechanized meters that got their start in Oklahoma City are going away, their original intent remains. The new pricing is set to match the rates charged by downtown’s public garages to keep the spaces open and rotating for visitors.

t took some time and determined effort to acquire and overhaul a classic 1960 Airstream trailer and turn it into Oklahoma’s first barber shop on wheels. Still, Bruce Waight Sr. and his life partner, Vanessa Morrison, were able to get the trailer ready and to get state rules in place to allow the operation, named En Root, to launch after years of hard work. Waight was all smiles as he cut client Antwan Brown’s hair. Clearly, Waight is excited to be doing what he loves. But he and Morrison also are passionate about making it easier for the city’s less fortunate to enjoy haircuts, too. That desire inspired them to pursue their dream; they’re hopeful their customers will be willing to “cut it forward” by making a financial contribution toward providing haircuts to others who might not be able to afford them. Waight said they saw a mobile barber shop for the first time several years ago in the Bahamas while they were vacationing. Later, as they cared for a church elder who was hospitalized, they began thinking about doing something similar. The problem was, Oklahoma’s state rules didn’t allow for that type of operation. So, Morrison and Waight got to work, creating a Photovoice project that documented the story of “Old

Man Johnny,” a barber and a Stockyards City shoe shiner who had to take multiple buses and then walk a half mile to get his haircut at a shop where Waight once worked in north Oklahoma City. “And he did that with a bad hip,” Waight said. They reasoned that a mobile barber shop could bring that service into the communities where people like Old Man Johnny lived, and took their pitch and materials from other states allowing the service to the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering. “We were showing ... why there was a need for something like this,” he said. While it took nearly a year, new rules were adopted to allow the shop to roll. Meanwhile, he and Morrison worked with friends
and relatives to get the trailer, acquired from a couple in Jones, ready. “I feel blessed,” Waight said.
‘CUT IT FORWARD’ En Root keeps a fixed weekly schedule. The first half of the week, it’s parked at partnering businesses that include Off The Hook, a seafood restaurant at Britton and Broadway Extension, the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Oklahoma County, 3033 N Walnut, and The Yard, at 21 NW 7.

BARBER CONTINUED FROM 8 the Brandon Place Apartments, 6700 W Memorial, the Legend V Apartments, 2133 E Second in Edmond, and at the Page Woodson Apartments, 600 N High. Waight said he offers haircut discounts to the owners and employees of his partnering businesses. And in the case of the apartments, he offers residents there discounted cuts, too, and he’s hopeful his customers will think about others who could use a nice haircut, but might not be able to afford it.

People can make donations by contacting the shop by phone. Eventually, they will be able to make contributions online. “We have organizations where we go out to and give free haircuts to their clients, like the Homeless Alliance. What you can do, is, if you want to pay for someone to get a haircut, you can go online to our website and cut it forward,” Waight said.

MUSIC Q&A
ISBELL CONTINUED FROM 10 solo effort, and he shares the billing with his backing band, The 400 Unit. Here’s a few highlights from my interview with Isbell.
Q:
You’re no stranger to Oklahoma. You played a sold-out show last month at Cain’s Ballroom. Does Tulsa or that venue in particular stick out to you? Jason Isbell: Oh yeah, we love playing that place. There aren’t a lot of great dance halls left like that. It’s definitely an honor to play that room, and I love the fact that they’ve had different kinds of music there for a long time. They’ve been having really loud rock shows at Cain’s for decades. My wife (Amanda Shires) played in the Texas Playboys when she was a teenager. Part of our set that night, we covered a Bob Wills tune. That music is important to us for sure. The promoter said he didn’t know if most of the people in the crowd even knew what a Bob Wills song was anymore because they’re so young.
Q:
You’re returning to The Criterion after your visit last year. Do you like it there, too? Isbell: Yeah, we had a great time there, too. I like playing in Oklahoma. It’s a place rich with musical history. People like John Fullbright, John Moreland and lots of other good music is still coming out of Oklahoma.
Q:
I noticed your tweet about Walter Becker’s passing. Did you used to have a Steely Dan cover band? Isbell: Yeah, me and some of my friends when we were teenagers. It was mostly rehearsal. We might’ve played one gig. We spent most of our time really pouring over those songs and trying to learn how to play them. It was really great developmentally as a musician. They had a way of making pop and rock music that was influenced by jazz, but it wasn’t jazz rock fusion by any means. It was something very different. It taught me a lot about music theory and lyrics, too. It’s very sophisticated music as far as rock and roll goes.
Q: Congratulations on the recent CMA nomi-
nation for Album of the Year. As an independent artist, what’s it like to get attention like this?

MUSIC Q&A
JASON ISBELL
ISBELL CONTINUED FROM 11 Isbell: It’s a good thing. We don’t have any kind of big label behind us pushing for these kinds of things. I think it happens probably because a lot of people in the industry really like the album. That’s flattering, and we’re grateful for it. I never set out to be that type of an artist. I’ve never thought of myself as a country singer. I’m a country person. I definitely have a lot of respect for country singers throughout history. ... I think we’ll be on tour when the award show happens. I think we’ll be in Germany.
Q:
I really enjoyed “If We Were Vampires” off of your latest album because of the way it talks about love. Did you always envision singing that song with your wife? Isbell: If things were the other way around, and we all lived forever it’d be hard to find any motivation to do anything. I think it’s hard to write a love song and say something that hasn’t been said before. You have to try really hard to find perspective. I think that song comes at a relationship from a different angle than the one we’re used to, and it doesn’t deal with that initial spark of a relationship. It deals with something deeper and something that lasts longer. I wrote it somewhat about our relationship because that’s where I draw my experience from. ... (Amanda’s) a great harmony singer, so I’m glad she was there to do it.
Q:
You’re playing six nights at the Ryman Auditorium in October. Was it your original intention to feature a female opener each night? Isbell: We didn’t set out to do that in the first place. We’re just trying to find really good openers. Most of what I’m interested in musically right now is coming from females. The hard part was really making it work with everyone’s schedule. We had a long list of potential openers for those shows and finally worked it out with six that I really think are going to be great.

What are some female-led acts you’re listening to lately? SEE ISBELL, 13

works really hard and has good music. Kacey Musgraves is very talented and puts on a great show. Some of Miranda Lambert’s songs are very much Americana-type songs, especially the ones she writes on her own. Those sound like the music I make. ... There’s tons of them.
Q:
Last time we spoke you’d just celebrated your daughter’s first birthday.
How’s she taken to life on the road? Isbell: Oh, she likes it. I think she likes it more now even. It was hard to tell if she liked it or not back then because she didn’t say much. She gets a lot of attention on tour. ... I think she’s having a good time. She sleeps well and seems to be healthy, knock on wood. We take that as a good sign.

COVER STORY
OPOLIS
Don’t judge a music venue by its size. Because it doesn’t get much more micro than the Opolis in Norman. During a quiet weeknight concert, my husky frame could shimmy through the venue in five seconds flat. That wouldn’t be the case if 200 people were packed next to the oversize feline photographs hanging on the walls. Either way, two familiar faces are almost always in attendance. Marian and Andy Nunez are the owners and, more importantly, operators of the longtime concert spot celebrating its 15th birthday this month. Marquee touring acts like Vampire Weekend, The National, Jason Isbell, The Head & The Heart and countless Okie musicians have called Opolis home for at least Ariel Pink one evening. It’s the sorta place where you can witness arena-size talent years before ambition meets reality. It’s also within reason for the woman selling tickets at the door to have just gotten off a tour with Billy Idol. And good luck finding a more intimate concert experience where the distance separating fans from bands is as thin as the person in front of you. Opolis’ foundation is built atop the ongoing hospitality of the Nunezes, who’ve been married roughly as long as they’ve been booking Opolis shows. Their willingness to host touring acts and to give locals a chance to play is matched only by a persistence to cater to tastes outside of the norm — and always in their own way. “We’re so DIY it’s painful,” Andy told LOOKatOKC. “Hats off to anyone who can work full-time hours with a payroll going and balance that with quality entertainment. That’s a really hard thing to do. ... A lot of nights, we run everything ourselves.” That’s their key to survival. Depending on the evening, Marian’s likely behind the bar and Andy’s running sound or delivering veggie burgers. Food’s a newer staple at the ever-changing establishment. The 40-somethings slowly have been refining their venue one concert season at a time. I sat down with the duo in Opolis’ neighboring green room hours before a recent event. They said what started out as a cheap-to-rent rehearsal spot for their former band became as good a spot as any to book a show. Back in the day, a convenient venue wasn’t always on hand, and Andy had access to decent sound gear thanks to his brother’s audio business. “The first Starlight Mints show was a house party that got shut down after three notes,” Marian said. “It was a really good three notes,” Andy added. The Mints juggled touring for roughly 20 years, forming in the 1990s and releasing four albums during the 2000s. The band built friendships with everyone from The Flaming Lips members to hometown record store clerks. “We had met a lot of bands along the way,” Marian said. “Andy had a lot of connections on the road. (Opolis) wasn’t like a dream. It wasn’t like this big vision or anything. It was a total evolution.” Gigs in New York City also helped conceive Opolis. The Big Apple is renown for its ginormous venues and for tiny ones, as well. There was a club on Avenue A called Brownies, and the Mints visited before realizing it was low-key famous. “We definitely modeled (Opolis) a bit off of that,” Andy said. “That could be a big part of why we haven’t expanded because we’re operating on that model.” I asked if being small is an added comfort.

OPOLIS “I think it’s more that our resistance to grow is our resistance to changing Opolis,” Marian said. “And losing control of Opolis.” Being flexible is the name of the game when running a venue. There were times when only low-pint beer was on the menu and shows were 21 and over. Depending on your latest visit, Opolis could be an entirely different venue.
On the scene Opolis’ musical roots stretch back decades — to the 1980s — when Andy was a teenager in Norman. With his friend and future Chainsaw Kittens guitarist Trent Bell, he frequented Subterranea. The now defunct venue hosted early Flaming Lips shows, The Replacements and a laundry list of

concerts Andy deemed “too cool for Norman at the time.” “It became a special place for Andy and me,” Bell told LOOKatOKC. “As kids, we were able to see bands play new and interesting music. It opened our eyes and ears to a whole different world than the classic rock that dominated most other venues in Norman or Oklahoma City.” Bell recalled seeing his first ever concert outside of an arena rock show at Subterranea, which is now home to Bison Witches Bar and Deli. Club co-owner Michele Vlasminsky opened the mixed-use venue and arts space alongside fellow OU students Blain England, Janet Ridgeway and Jennifer Clark-Bohanon in 1985. Places like

OPOLIS
Subterranea didn’t have healthy shelf lives and closed shop long ago, leaving a void for the hungry concertgoers. “The Opolis has now been that special place for 15 years,” Bell said. “What makes it such a success story is they’ve had a vision and always stuck with it. They bring in acts that they love and they never compromise to make a quick buck. “It’s so important to have places like the Opolis in towns like Norman. It welcomes all types of people and always lets creativity be the driving force.”
Power couple It wasn’t until the Starlight Mints stopped touring in the late aughts that Marian and Andy poured themselves full-time into the venue. By 2009, the duo’s former business partner Suzy Thompson already had left behind the coffee shop inside Opolis to pursue Forward Foods. What was once a more flexible endeavor had started to grow in significance. “We’re nervous when we go out of town and leave somebody here to run it,” Marian said. If you notice a drought of shows, then the couple have likely paused booking to go on vacation. Funny enough, both Andy and Marian cut their teeth at another Norman business owned and operated by spouses, Joe and Rebecca Sparks. They also don’t like leaving their business alone. “Any time Joe or Rebecca would go out for a night on the town, they would end up at Legend’s at the end of the night to check in,” Marian said. “And that was how many years, 20 or 30 years?” Andy noted hard work has been at the core of keeping Opolis’ doors open. The couple said they’ve pretty much mastered how to put on a small show but outdoor festivals are still a test. The venue’s recent three-day anniversary celebration took diligent planning over the course of months. There’s a reason Opolis only books blowouts a couple times a year. Marian said the stress wouldn’t dissipate until she’s thrown the last trash bag in the Dumpster.
Andy said he had a difficult time helping select the lineup for the celebration. A lot of bands wanted to be involved, he said. I asked if that was a testament to the number of acts they’ve worked with over the years. He was slow to pat himself on the back. “I’m sure we help the scene, and I hope we help the scene,” Andy said. “We still participate and play music when we can. There’s so many factors that make the scene better. There’s so many good bands in Oklahoma now. I hope people don’t take that for granted.”
Home away from home Musicians close to the Nunez family sure don’t. I didn’t have much trouble finding people who look at Opolis as more than a venue. Violinist Sarah Reid first attended a concert at Opolis when she was 16. She borrowed her mom’s purple minivan and drove down from Edmond with her brother to catch songwriter Penny Pitchlynn. It was an influential evening and a way to bond with her sibling. Before long, she was living and playing music Norman. “The opportunity to perform there and open up for really talented musicians has always been something that inspired me to work harder on my own music endeavors,” Reid told LOOKatOKC. “It’s a wonderful gift to have a venue that you feel like you’re growing with and from. There’s no other place like it.” Norman-based songwriter Beau Jennings provided a laundry list of reasons why he’s an Opolis fan: “I’ve played shows, rehearsed with my band, worked the door, made lifelong friends, snuck in flasks, ordered scones for breakfast and hot wings for dinner, nervously talked to girls, discussed life-altering decisions, cried, said prayers, crashed my bike, told lies, witnessed heroes, escorted a bombing comedian offstage, cheered football games, attended Christmas parties and weddings and wakes, wafted through smoke and fog, watched lightning storms from the patio, and met my wife. “There is really only one word to describe a place that can house such an array of life experiences, and that would be home.”

hris Blevins didn’t want the clock to run out on his music career. He was working at a post office in his hometown of Henryetta, writing songs and performing at small venues on the side. But his hobby started to pick up late last year. He started driving to Tulsa to gig at night after long work days and formed a backing band to help develop his original material. However, working full-time didn’t leave much room to progress as a musician. After Blevins considered recording his bluesy folk-rock sound, he knew he’d have to choose between his job or his music. “Something had to give one way or the other, and I made up my mind that it was not going to be music,” Blevins said. “I made up my mind that I was not going to give up on it.” He remembers the exact date — Dec. 19 — that he left the post office and became a full-time musician. From that day on, he channeled his blue-collar roots out of the workplace and into a debut album, “Better Than Alone,” which dropped Aug. 18 via Horton Records. Blevins, 28, said the move was “in defiance of time.” He wouldn’t spend any more years wondering
whether he would take a chance on a music career. “I’ve got a lot of friends that are older, and I see how hard it is for them to get shows, trying to start something late in life that they really enjoy,” he said. “I just don’t want to be that.”
A CHRIS CROSS Chris Combs sat in a bar, feeling surprised. A year ago, the seasoned Tulsa musician and producer was attending a songwriter night at The Colony, a longtime staple in the city’s live music scene. Blevins was at the mic. The stirring vocals caught Combs’ ear, and the soulful, honest lyrics kept his attention rapt. Combs leaned over to the bartender, who organized the event. “Is this all original?” he asked. “Who is this guy?” Combs introduced himself after the performance. He offered to help Blevins schedule more live shows and grow his sound. Soon after, he introduced Blevins to bassist Aaron Boehler and drummer Andrew Bones, and the group of four performed together throughout the following months. After Blevins fully committed to music, they SEE BLEVINS, 20

started on “Better Than Alone” in December. The album took only days to record at Fellowship Hall Sound studio in Little Rock, Arkansas. Combs produced the album while Blevins wrote, sang and played acoustic guitar. His tracks comment on human nature, interpersonal relationships and national affairs. “I didn’t really go through much (with) picking topics or flow or anything,” Blevins said. “I just wanted something that sounds good with a band because it was all so foreign to me.” Blevins said the album’s tone, with Southern rock and country influences, characterizes the rural Henryetta community in which he grew up. His lyrics seem to come straight from the mouth of a hardworking everyman sitting in a country diner. Blevins’ musical beginnings took root in the town of 5,700 people. His father, a professional trumpeter, encouraged him to start as a brass player at a very young age. Barely strong enough to lift the trumpet, Blevins fostered a foundation in jazz, which he credits as a source for the soulful nature of his music. At 17, he learned to play the guitar, strumming and singing along to The White Stripes. His raw vocal skills later evolved into the rich, gritty tone that piqued Combs’ interest at The Colony. In the past year, Combs said Blevins’ vocals have continued to impress with “insane acrobatics, nailing it in a way that most people can’t.” “That’s kind of the exciting part, as well, ’cause it’s someone
who’s discovering day-by-day who they are,” Combs said. “Seeing how natural some of it comes to him, it’s like, ‘Wow, you don’t even have to try. I’m jealous. I don’t know how you do it.’ ”
KINDRED SPIRITS Blevins discovered a community of songwriters in Tulsa who similarly blend elements of rock and Americana. Derek Webster, billed as The Great American Wolf, has become a particularly close friend. The Tahlequah native also jumped into music full time after growing up in a rural hometown. “It’s absolutely daunting, and I don’t know if it changes into a different stage later on,” Webster said of the transition. “Coming from where we were to where we are now, we still have bills, we still can’t go to the Bahamas or anything. It’s definitely a lot better compared to previous chapters of our lives.” The two are planning a 10-song compilation album, which will contrast Webster’s scratchy vocal style with Blevins’ melodic voice. Despite their differing sound, they have a similar songwriting approach, drawing ideas from deep conversations on complicated topics, such world events, politics and religion. Blevins said he plans to record as many albums as possible in the coming years after releasing “Better Than Alone.” He sees a future in music, one that includes more time spent in a studio than at the post office. “I wasn’t necessarily unhappy, but I’ve always wanted to do music,” Blevins said. “It wasn’t even a conscious decision to start trying, more or less just giving in to the torrent of friends and family trying to get me to do something with myself besides just working a dead-end job.”

RAPPER CONTINUED FROM 21 jukebox. Now in his 40s, there’s a greatest hits feel to his performance, cemented by the copious amount of archival photos that played on a screen behind Kweli. He’s aged, but his tastes are as eclectic as ever. There’s no doubt in my mind this particular concert was a product of Tower Theatre co-operator Jabee Williams. The Oklahoma-born rapper’s adding a healthy mix of diversity to the venue’s concert lineup which includes plenty of throwback acts, electronic dance parties, country and Americana road dogs and even comedy.

Nashville, Tennessee-based string band Old Crow Medicine Show will perform its newest release, “50 Years Of Blonde On Blonde,” a song-for-song tribute to the classic Bob Dylan album, in its entirety Nov. 15 at The Jones Assembly, 901 W Sheridan Ave. The night will feature two sets by the band, according to a news release. Old Crow Medicine Show started busking on street corners in 1998 in New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way. Dylan served as a primary influence on founding members Ketch Secor and Critter Fuqua when they were growing up in Harrisonburg, Virginia. On a family trip to London, Fuqua found a bootleg Dylan tape featuring “Rock Me Mama,” a song Dylan began working on during the “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” sessions. Fuqua added new verses to come up with the band’s signature track “Wagon Wheel,” and the Old Crow Medicine Show aesthetic began to germinate. In recent years, Old Crow Medicine Show has played Bonnaroo and the Newport Folk Festival, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and won two Grammy Awards: Best Folk Album for “Remedy” (2014) and Best Long Form Music Video for “Big Easy Express” (2013). Plus, the group’s “Wagon Wheel” has been certified platinum. OKC tickets range from $34.50 to $75 and are available at www.thejonesassembly.com. — Brandy McDonnell
