Caterer Criteria

By C h r i s G r e e r

M

ost parties and special events aren’t complete without delicious food and refreshing beverages. But planning a menu, preparing the items, and serving them to your guests can be complicated or time-consuming. That’s why professional caterers are often a good choice to keep your party rolling.

A good caterer can help you create a party’s theme, develop a menu within your price range, provide pre-event tastings, arrange equipment rental, hire licensed food and beverage servers, and clean up after the event.

It is important to select a company that not only provides excellent food and service, but also pays attention to the multitude of details involved in your event.

To s e l e ct a c at e r e r w h o w i l l h e l p m a k e yo u r n e x t e v e n t a s u cc e s s , co n s i d e r t h e f o l lo w i n g i t e m s .

Event Planning

• Work with your caterer to create a timeline of events: arrival time, set-up schedule, length of event, tear-down timeline, and clean-up duties.

• Ask if your caterer is familiar with your event site. If not, ask him or her to take a pre-event tour.

• Determine if the caterer will coordinate linen and equipment rentals.

• Ask to see samples of linen, china and glassware rentals.

Food and Drink

• Ask the caterer to provide several sample menus in your price range.

• Arrange a tasting of the items you are considering serving.

• Ask if the food will be prepared on site or before the event.

• Find out if the caterer can prepare special cuisine such as children’s plates, vegetarian entrees or kosher dishes.

• Discuss portion sizes.

• Ask about the policy for leftover food.

• Find out if beverages are included in the price.

Staffing

• Find out how many servers will be working your event.

• Ask about the servers’ attire to make sure it fits the occasion.

• Ensure the caterer provides servers who are licensed to serve alcohol, if applicable.

Contracts

• Find out what the price includes (set-up, clean-up, staffing, food, rentals, etc.).

• Ask the caterer to put everything in writing in the form of a contract.

• Ask how gratuities and/or service charges are calculated.

• Inquire if there are additional charges if the event runs over the allotted time.

• Ask about the cancellation policy.

• Determine the date you must submit a final head count.

• Ask what type of deposit is required.

7 P r e v i ew M a g a z i n e

• Ask how long the caterer has been in business and his or her previous experience working your type of event.

• Obtain a list of past and current clients, and call them for references.

• Check the company’s Better Business Bureau rating.

• Make sure they are licensed and insured.

• Attend one of the caterer’s events to get a better idea about how he or she runs a job.

• Look at pictures of past events to learn more about their presentation style.

• Inquire if they have a corking fee if you provide your own alcohol.

When looking to get fit, do your homework to avoid getting ripped wrong.

E

veryone knows that eating right and exercising can help you lose weight and live a longer, healthier life. Knowing and doing are two different things, though. A good health club that offers motivational instructors, fun classes and high-tech equipment can go a long way toward encouraging you to make these important lifestyle changes.

But selecting a health club can be tricky. They all seem to have limited-time specials or free offers if you commit to a long-term membership. Before you sign on the dotted line, however, it’s a good idea to read the fine print and inspect the facilities.

Ask friends, co-workers and your doctor for recommendations. Look for clubs that match your interests and budget and are located close to home or work.

Following are a few additional steps you should take before joining a health club.

Stop by the club at the time of day you will most often be using it.

• Is it crowded?

• Does it have adequate and well-lit parking?

• Are the facility, the changing rooms and the equipment clean?

• Are there classes going on in which you would be interested?

• Are personal trainers available?

• Is the atmosphere friendly?

Find out how the instructors are trained.

• Do they have appropriate experience in your areas of interest?

• Are they certified by organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) or the International Dance Exercise Association (IDEA)?

What is the primary focus of the club: weight training, aerobic dance classes, cardiovascular training via resistance-exercise machines, tennis or racquetball, or a combination of the above?

• Can the staff help you develop a comprehensive workout, fitness and nutrition plan and monitor your progress?

• Does the club offer a variety of classes, such as aerobics, spinning, kickboxing and yoga?

•D oes it have special amenities such as a swimming pool, showers, sauna, or tennis and racquetball courts?

• Are family-friendly activities available?

• Does it provide qualified childcare?

When asked to sign a membership contract, take it home to review.

• Make sure the contract covers all services and facilities.

• Any oral promises should be put into writing.

• Examine the total cost and payment schedule, including enrollment fees and finance charges.

• Ask about the membership term and early termination fees, especially for instances in which you move or become disabled.

Also remember that most clubs will negotiate with you to win your business.

Ask for a no-obligation trial membership to see if you are happy with the club.

It’s not just dining…

it’s entertainment!

Sushi Utopia March 2014

At In the Raw, respect for ingredients pays off in exquisite flavor.

By Taylor Sides

W

hen one considers fine dining in Oklahoma, one’s thoughts rarely ever drift the way of sushi. After all, what level of quality, taste, and authenticity could a landlocked state like Oklahoma possibly offer in the area of Japanese cuisine, especially cuisine which deals directly with fresh fish?

The answer: a whole new level.

Enter: Greg Hughes, a visionary in his own right, who, just over a decade ago, introduced Tulsa to In the Raw Sushi, a little taste of Japan right here in the heart of Green Country. With over 15 years prior experience in the restaurant biz, Hughes is no stranger to the timeless art of good eats. From a very young age, Hughes dreamt of owning his own restaurant, and, since 1988, his dream and entrepreneurial success has carried him from his initial experience in sales with Pepsi Co. in California all the way here to The Sooner State. It is here where Hughes was able to make his dream a reality.

Since its inception in 2001, In the Raw Sushi has spawned five locations solely in Oklahoma, three of which are right here in Tulsa: at 34th and Peoria in the Brookside district; at the BOK Center Arena in section 105; and at 61st and Sheridan, perched on a hill where the view is almost as good as the food.

How good is the food, you ask?

Diehard fans of In the Raw rave that it’s “hands down the best sushi restaurant in town” and that all of the food from the edamame to the sushi to the fusion fried rice with chicken is “just so good!” And if that’s not testimony enough, the hard work of Hughes, as the owner, combined with the skill and artistry of his veteran sushi chef and menu creator, Cody Stell and current lead chef, Mandy Parkhurst, has earned In the Raw the title of “Best Sushi in Tulsa” from Tulsa People Magazine, Oklahoma Magazine, Urban Tulsa and numerous other publications every year since its doors first opened. The restaurant was even named “Best Restaurant Overall” by Urban Tulsa in 2007 as well as in 2010.

Needless to say, In the Raw Sushi has undeniably established itself as an A-lister in the Oklahoma restaurant roster. Its unique menu, combining freshly prepared traditional and nouveau sushi, sashimi and nigiri creations, and a variety of succulent non-sushi entrees, is what truly sets it apart.

Start with In the Raw’s brilliant Japanese inspired twist on a classic appetizer, as you dive into their ahi tuna nachos. A bed of crispy wonton strips fill the plate, topped with blackened tuna, ripe avocado, crisp red onion, fresh greens, and a creamy jalapeno drizzle. What a way to wet the palate as you move on to the main course. If you’re a rolled sushi fan, then you can’t visit In the Raw without trying the aptly titled Brookside roll, which is filled with fresh tuna, tasty crab, and asparagus and topped off with striking cuts of eel.

In the Raw is perfect for everyone, even steak lovers. Gene’s pepper filet is an eight-ounce filet of beautifully prepared steak served with a side of wasabi mashed potatoes and asparagus, drizzled with a Portobello demi glaze. Your mouth is watering just thinking about it, right?

Hughes describes the menu as “the creative and ever-evolving centerpiece of the multi-sensory dining experience for which In the Raw Sushi has become known.” The restaurants motto of “whatever, whenever,” perfectly summarizes the vast amount of options that are offered for diners of every caliber: from the adventurous to the refined and everyone in between. It is, and has always been, the hope of Hughes and his team that their customers share in their vision of “consistently fresh, fun and healthy dining in a high-energy, hip atmosphere.”

The Drum The drum is central to every powwow. It is more than a musical instrument, it is the heartbeat of the Native American people. The drum sets the rhythm of the dance and the tempo of the song. The drum is made of hides, stretched over a wooden frame and laced together with rawhide thongs. Without a drum, there is no powwow.

The drum and its singers are so important that they are often placed in the center of the arena.

The Dances

March 2014

To the newcomer, the powwow dances may appear very similar, but each type has its own set of distinctive steps. At many intertribal powwows, you can look for three basic competition classifications of dances for each sex. Male dancers will typically dance traditional (or straight), fancy and grass dances, while female dancers will usually take part in buckskin, fancy shawl and jingle dress dances. Keep in mind that these are only a few of the many types of dances you may see at a powwow, depending on the tribal affiliation and purpose of the event.

The traditional dance is one of the oldest forms, and its movements tell the story of a warrior stalking food or tracking an enemy. The traditional dancer will wear a single bustle of eagle feathers, a feathered or roach headdress, beaded moccasins and ankle bells. Usually he carries a shield, a weapon or dance stick, and may paint his face with a tribal or family design.

dynamic, with fancy footwork intermingled with spins and twirls, always keeping in step with the drum. The Fancy Shawl Dancer will usually wear a fringed shawl with matching vest and leggings that may be beaded or sequined, and a feather plume for the hair.

The dance of the jingle dress comes from one of the northern tribes and is associated with healing the sick. Legend has it that a grandfather cured his sick granddaughter by creating a special jingle dress. The dress has many metal cones, called jingles, attached closely enough together to chime during the dance. Other parts of the regalia include beaded leggings, a dance belt, an eagle plume for the hair and a feather fan. The dance is highly energetic and requires intricate footwork.

Powwow Etiquette The area for dancing and ceremonies is called the arena, and its boundaries are usually marked by hay bales set in a circle. The arena has been blessed and is considered sacred. Do not walk across the arena; instead walk around it. Children should be supervised and not be allowed to run in or around the arena. Pets should not be taken into the arena.

Unless you are sure that seating will be provided, bring your own chair.

The seating immediately around the arena is reserved for dancers and their families. Seats with blankets, shawls or regalia items on them are taken and should not be bothered. Do not sit on someone else’s blanket unless invited. Uncovered seats are considered available.

Alcohol, recreational drugs and firearms are strictly prohibited at most powwows.

If you see a feather fall from a dancer’s regalia or locate a lost feather, do not pick it up. Notify the nearest veteran, the head veteran, head man dancer, emcee or arena director immediately. There are special ceremonies involved in returning the feather to its place and photos should not be taken during these sacred ceremonies.

Do not touch a drum or sit at a drum without permission.

Pointing with the fingers is considered poor manners by some tribes.

If you must point, use your head and nod in the direction you wish to indicate.

Ask permission before taking photos of dancers in regalia. If the photo is for publication or commercial use, this should be explained before the photo is taken.

Always stand respectfully during special songs. These include the grand entry, flag songs, veteran’s songs or any other song that the emcee designates. During these songs, men should remove their hats.

When invited by the emcee or performers, visitors may participate in social and inter-tribal dances.

It is considered polite to accept an offer of food or an invitation to eat with the dancers. It is a high honor to be asked to eat with a Native American family.

Photos should not be taken during veteran’s songs, flag songs, prayers or any other time specified by the emcee.

Clybourne Park Tulsa Performing Arts Center Exploring the provocative issues of race and class, Clybourne Park acts as both a prequel and sequel to Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun. Bruce Norris’ wickedly funny and fiercely provocative play about race, real estate and the volatile values of each won nearly every honor the theater has to give, including the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play and the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

The story is told in two acts set 50 years apart. Act one takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.

“Everything I did last year, 2013 was such a big year for me, and that’s what I wanted to do with this show. So I think visually that’s really important and I had to fight a little bit because it isn’t the easy thing to travel with this stage that we’re using.” The world famous twerker, will continue her boundarypushing performances, but believes that her shows will be educational even for kids. “They’re going to be exposed to art most people don’t know about,” said the former Hannah Montana star. “People are taught to look at things so black and white,

An astounding one-third of these songs eligible for major single release also achieved hit song status at country radio, while more than 20 million of his albums have been sold worldwide. While it’s well-known that Black is an accomplished singer and guitarist, people may be surprised to learn that he is also proficient on drums and harmonica. Although his momentum gradually slowed throughout the 1990s, Black consistently charted hit songs into the 2000s. He has had more than 30 singles on the Billboard country charts, 22 of which have reached No. 1, in addition to having released nine studio albums and several compilation albums. Black’s continued success can be attributed in part to his deep sense of country music history, and his humble gratitude in being an important part of it. The 1989 debut of his critically acclaimed fan favorite, the triple platinum Killin’ Time, marked a shift in the industry, with a return to the more traditional sounds of the genre. CMT lists this album as one of the 100 Greatest Albums in country music.

“We spent almost every day last year backstage writing for our album Golden, so we were really focused on writing songs that would connect with the fans in these arenas. We definitely learned a lot about ourselves as live performers and the type of catalog we wanted to have so that we could go out and try to give the fans the best show they’ve ever experienced,” said Charles Kelley. “All of that was the jumping off point for this tour, and now it’s time to take it to the next level.”

Last year, Lady Antebellum hosted over one million fans across the globe in 11 countries on their first headlining world tour, which earned them Billboard Touring’s Breakthrough Award and CMA’s International Artists Achievement Award.

The shows were inspirational and critics praised the band’s youthful exuberance and unending energy.”

The harmony-based trio continues to reaffirm the very beginnings of Lady Antebellum by focusing on deft songwriting and fresh uses of their talents, which was at the heart of what drew them together in the first place. Since its 2006 inception, Lady Antebellum has won the Vocal Group of the Year honor from both the CMA and from the ACM’s three times in a row and sold over 12.5 million digital singles and 10 million albums in the United States. The trio has taken seven trips to No. 1 on the country radio charts, earned five platinum singles including their recent “Downtown.”

What separates Lady Antebellum from other pop country acts is the call and response of Scott and male lead Kelley’s vocals. Love songs just sound better being told from both sides. Add guitarist Dave Haywood’s harmonies and the formula is complete, as the band.

Aside from using technology like clamping “go pro” cameras to their microphones and guitars to project on their 30-foot LED screen, the band spends a lot of time shaking hands and walking out into the crowd to hug and greet fans during their shows that have included a sampling of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and a cover of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up.”

Justin Moore’s always had a thing about doing it his way. Call it stubborn redneck mettle, a well-developed case of “who I am” or just the fierce commitment to blaze a trail inherent to people from his home of Poyen, Ark. While “Small Town USA” made Moore a bankable star, his formula of country hell-raising and small-town life that revolves around trucks, beer and girls has given him a life on mainstream country radio. “Point at You,” the first single off of his latest CD Off the Beaten Path, peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and “Lettin’ the Night Roll,” made it to No. 29.

Moore has always had an interesting way of negotiating the good ole boy, redneck reality that’s defined today’s hardcore country fan.

A little bit rowdy, a little bit sentimental, a whole lotta roughneck, Moore has dented the country radio charts with three No. 1s in the anything but big city “Small Town USA,” the sentimental family embracing “If Heaven Weren’t So Far Away” and the fidelity pledge “Til My Last Day,” in addition to the Top 10 mission declaration “Backwoods.”

Kilkenny’s pieces together Ireland’s pub past for an authentic drinking and dining experience. By Chris Greer

s Irish-themed taverns go, Kilkenny’s offers a somewhat regal presentation through its décor and ornate setting. Since opening among the Cherry Street fixtures in 2002, Kilkenny’s has provided a signature dining and “hydrating” experience, wowing all comers with exciting twists on contemporary Irish cuisine.

“Anyone can open a restaurant and serve decent food,” said Rehorn, who rotates the pub’s mementos so as to keep the décor fresh and patrons marveling at the humorous and antique collectibles.

“Consumers don’t want to go into a vanilla box and eat. They want to be wowed. After 12 years we still have people who come in and tell us how cool our place is. There is nothing like it in the town and probably the state.

While the actual size of the roughly 5,000-square foot corner pub is deceiving—especially from the point of view of a passersby—once inside, guests are fully ensconced in the experience and ready for a proper pour of the Black Mistress or one of 16 different Irish whiskeys housed behind custom-built, dark-stained Victorian bars.

Brett Rehorn, who owns the pub with his brother, Wes (a retired special forces colonel) and their wives, has created an intimate area where people feel very cozy with a relaxed atmosphere. A lot of that can be traced to his insistence on creating an authentic pub beginning with contracting a Dublin, Ireland company to handle the build out. The majority of the interior—from the light fixtures, beveled mirrors, decorative brass, glass cases and murals to the faux painting on the walls and ceiling—was completed by Irish artists and craftsmen before being shipped across the Atlantic.

“I’m not a big drinker or smoker, but I’m an eBay freak. It’s my only vice. I’m always looking for neat and authentic pieces that would enhance our look. I recently found a traditional directional street sign for the city of Kilkenny in Ireland for $250. Now it’s in the pub by our clocks.”

March 2014

And while the aesthetics get people talking, it’s the food that keeps them coming back … even when a weekend wait can stretch past an hour. With a multi-page menu that gets amended by the month with specials, a diner could sit for a hundred meals and not taste everything.

At dinner, begin with appetizers of deep fried baby back ribs or a seemingly simple but surprisingly ambrosial helping of River Nore shrimp steamed in herbs, celery and white wine. Familiar opening dishes like crispy crab cakes; gulf oyster; shamrock spuds (crispy fried potato skins topped and baked with Irish cheddar and bacon); and a mound of thick potato crisps topped with shredded cheddar cheese, red onions, tomatoes, green onions and olives, served with sour cream and Isaias Ruvalcaba O’Leary’s homemade salsa round things out.

Complementing an old-school Caesar salad are a few interesting alternatives like lobster and sweet corn chowder; Irish stew with seared beef, carrots, onions and potatoes; and a St. Canice spinach salad that’s topped with red onion rings, eggs and croutons and can be served with grilled chicken and fried or buffaloed chicken tenders.

find plenty of tasty dishes from breasts topped with a generous portion of cold-water lobster, jumbo shrimp and fresh crabmeat in a creamy sauce to chicken potpie and a cordon bleu selection. Standard sides like thick potato wedges, cole slaw, rice pilaf, sweet potato fries, brown bread oyster stuffing or seasonal vegetable medley sautéed in garlic, shallots and dry white wine will satisfy if that is your chosen path.

Irish favorites include corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, cottage pie and of course bangers and mash.

And if you’ve never heard of boxty, get educated with a helping of these grilled potato pancake creations that come stuffed with homemade fillings including seared beef, corned beef, seafood, veggies, chicken or salmon.

Rounding out this incredibly diverse menu are delectable seafood entrees—lobster tail, rainbow trout, cod, salmon, shrimp and fisherman’s pie (a pot of fresh shrimp, cod and scallops married with leeks, potatoes and mushrooms inside a flakey, golden crust)—and comfy sandwiches like Ryelanes reuben, a grilled Portobello mushroom cap served burger style, turkey, chicken breast or beer battered Icelandic salmon fried crisp and golden.

For desert, keep the indulgence coming with cobbler, bread pudding, chocolate cake topped with Guinness Stout chocolate sauce and Baileys Other alternatives include pasta dishes Irish whipping cream or a tart Granny such as spinach tortellini, fettuccine Smith apple that is cored and stuffed with o’fredo, and Lorrha lobster pasta with toasted almonds, whiskey soaked raisins Kilkenny’s Irish Pub rotini pasta topped with a generous 1413 E. 15th St. | Tulsa and brown sugar. portion of cold-water lobster and delicious 918.582.8282 cream sauce—certainly no slouch in the But the pub’s specialty needs no www.tulsairishpub.com flavor department. introduction, the slow-pouring dark Every Day: 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. mistress itself, Guinness, the centerpiece Saturday and Sunday Brunch: 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

merican’s love a themed holiday even if it doesn’t hit close to the family tree. And St. Patrick’s Day is no different.

Irish or not, plenty find it the perfect time to “go green” and share in shenanigans.

St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate the luck of the Irish with parades, festivals, the clinking of beer glasses, good eats and old-fashioned frivolity.

Whether you’re searching for ways to honor your Irish heritage or merely look good in green, the Tulsa-area has a St. Patrick’s Day bash for you.

Blue Dome St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Tulsa’s energetic Blue Dome District turns a vibrant shade of green every year when the streets are filled with thousands of spectators sporting the traditional color. Home of longtime Irish favorites Arnie’s Bar, Woody’s Corner Bar and James E. McNellie’s Public House within a few blocks of one another, festival-goers will be treated to enough Irish beer and fare to feed a small army.

Held throughout the entire St. Patrick’s Day weekend from morning until night, visitors can pub crawl, browse fun local retailers or enjoy live music all weekend long into the early morning hours. Wander through the five-block radius in the Blue Dome District that will be blocked from traffic and watch as the party spills out onto the streets with tent staging areas and bar stands with rooftop seating. Keep an eye out for McNellie’s semi-truck featuring 30 taps and over 100 kegs of beer.

Arnie’s Bar

Keep an eye out for McNellie’s semitruck featuring 30 taps and over 100 kegs of beer.

No Tulsa celebration of St. Patrick’s would be complete without a visit to Arnie’s Bar, T-Town’s most famous Irish-themed pub. With live music scheduled each evening and everything from Guinness and Harp to Smithwick’s and Killian’s Irish Red on tap, Arnie’s is the place to be.

After relocating to the Blue Dome District in 2000, Arnie’s took up residence in the nostalgic building that anchors the district. The blue dome building was originally built in 1912 as a filling station and 100 years later still retains all the original charm with Moorish architecture, leaded glass doors and a spacious courtyard. Visit the outdoor patio area for a welcoming oasis complete with mature trees, twinkling strands of lights and plenty of ice cold beer. While celebrating at this cozy hangout, don’t forget to try your hand at a game of shuffleboard, throw a round of darts with friends or make your way to the outdoor patio.

James E. McNellie’s

and inviting as it presents an edgy take on otherwise familiar fare.

Or maybe it’s the innovative cocktail menu that includes barrel-aged libations and one of the largest beer selections in the region with over 350 varieties. Other than the requisite Guinness and whiskeys, guests can expect a menu of bistro fare with an eye toward Irish favorites such as landlord’s cottage pie, fish and chips and a St. Patty’s melt (served throughout the year) that balances eight ounces of ground beef with grilled onions, Swiss and American cheeses on marble rye. And if you lose track of when the “big day” is, their website provides a countdown clock.

Opened in 2004 by Elliot Nelson, who gave up a dream of passing the bar to operate one, James E. McNellie’s Public House is both welcoming and comfortable with all the atmosphere of a classic Irish boozer. Maybe it’s the eclectic menu that is simultaneously inventive

No matter which St. Patrick’s Day celebration you choose to attend, if you decide to toast your inner Irishman with an alcoholic beverage, remember to celebrate responsibly. Sláinte! — Additional reporting by TravelOK.com.

Kilkenny’s Irish Pub When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, there might not be a greener place than Kilkenny’s Irish Pub in Tulsa’s trendy Cherry Street area. Dine on Irish fare such as beer-battered fish and chips, corned beef and cabbage or potato soup, before heading outside to join the festivities under Kilkenny’s party tent. Live music, food specials and vendors get the celebration started, while pints of Guinness, glasses of single malt scotch and shots of Irish whiskey keep it going until 2 a.m.

No need to shed leprechaun tears fretting over where to wear your favorite lime green top hat this year. It’s really easy being green at these joints.

money When unsure whether to tip or not, put yourself in the other person’s work shoes and go with your gut.

Don’t get tripped up when tipping

Matters T

By Chris Greer

ips are generally considered to be tokens of appreciation for a job well done, but sometimes it’s just good form to throw a few bucks someone’s way. The art of tipping is a challenging ritual in that there aren’t set rules or instructions.

Generally how much and when to or not to are left to your discretion. The problem is that given that much latitude, some of us stumble.

March 2014

Here are a few tips on how to make your dollar bills create favorable impressions on those who usually receive a low hourly wage and depend on your gratitude or “gratuities” to make ends meet.

Preview Magazine

32

Restaurants

• Giving a server who makes your experience enjoyable 15-20 percent of the pre-taxed check is right in line. Make sure that the restaurant hasn’t automatically added a gratuity to your bill. This is usually done with parties of eight or more people.

• Even if you are eating at a self-service style restaurant or buffet, make sure you leave a couple of dollars for the people who refill your drinks and clear plates.

Airport

• Cab drivers should receive 15 percent of the fare plus $1 per bag for getting them out of the trunk and to the curb.

• Porters (if available at your airport) get $1 on average size bags.

Larger or more cumbersome bags or equipment should increase to $2 each.

Hotel

• Doormen who take your luggage into the hotel receive $1-$2 a bag depending on the luxury of accommodations. If someone else takes the bags to your room, they should receive likewise compensation.

A larger initial tip upon arrival (like $5) can probably get you a little extra attention during your stay.

• Valets get $1-$2 every time they retrieve your automobile. Don’t pay when you leave it (all the tips are split at the end of the shift) unless you ask for specific parking requirements or areas.

• The often forgotten piece of the tipping puzzle, maids should get $1-$5 per day depending on size of room, amount of mess you make and attention to detail they show. It is important to tip each day as a different maid may tend to your room the following night. The tips should be left in a clearly marked envelope and placed on the bed.

• When ordering room service, a 15 percent gratuity is usually already added to the bill. Check when the food or drink arrive. If so, then tip the delivery person $1-$2 depending on amount brought to the room.

• Concierges are your best bet for getting show tickets, finding seats in restaurants or getting the low down on the city. Accordingly, you should tip for each service provided. Standard rates are between $2$10 depending on the effort level required to accomplish the task you present them.

Tuscany

icture, if you will, the rolling hills of Tuscany, deep in the heart of Italy, where the picturesque landscapes are home to honored traditions, a rich history, an artistic legacy, and, of course, an expanse of immense vineyards producing a bounty of delicious wines.

Held together by a strong tie to high culture, Tuscany has established itself as a top tourist destination, a true escape from reality.

Now, not all of us can afford to drop everything and catch a plane to Italy at a moment’s notice, so we find ourselves searching for the next best thing. Some of us watch TV or movies. Some of us read or write.

Others seek solace in good food and good company. It doesn’t matter what we do as long as we get a break from the stress, a moment of peace: an escape from the daily grind.

Escape to Cork Wine Café. Located just off the corner of 91st and Memorial, Cork Wine Café is just a short drive away from home or work. Owners, Chris and Zach Collins introduced Tulsa to Cork back in late 2011. They were soon met with great success as the fatherson team were able to serve a taste of Tuscany to the Tulsa table.

Namely, a taste of wine. With over 150 wines to choose from, Cork has undoubtedly cornered, or rather, corked the wine market in Tulsa.

The owners even employ the use of a true import: an Enomatic wine storage system from Florence that houses 50 of their wines available by the glass. This rather impressive piece of machinery also keeps the spry sommelier from ever aging. “It’s the big guy,” says Chris. “It presses the wine with food-grade nitrogen, giving it enough pressure to pour it into your glass, keeping the wine prime for up to three weeks.”

This independently owned and operated wine bar met its growing popularity by expanding its menu, building a boutique kitchen and hiring a head chef—Montana Childress—to implement a menu of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and entrees inspired by what the owners are calling Americana-Fusion cuisine. More recently, Childress’s sous chef Tyler Summers has taken the reigns in the kitchen, and is looking to help Cork soar to brand new heights.

From the moment one enters Cork Wine Café, they are immediately transported to Tuscany. They find themselves in an open and inviting space with granite countertops, stacked-stone wall features, a custom built wooden trellis over a comfortable seating area, beautiful murals painted by a local artist, driftwood carvings and several other features that add to the rustic décor. The lighting is dim, setting a tone of relaxation and comfort. With occasional live music from both local and non-local acoustic and jazz artists, Cork Wine Café has truly become a home-away-home for its regulars. World renowned saxophone player, Grady Nichols has even become a regular himself, having performed several times.

With plenty of seating and two bars, one overlooking the Enomatic wine preservation system and the other in line with two large televisions broadcasting the current sporting event, there is something for everyone at Cork Wine Café.

What’s more, Cork is available on Sundays for full private parties as well as from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. every other day of the week.

Accommodations for parties under 15 can also be made in the evenings.

With over 150 wines to choose from, Cork Wine Cafe combines the best of old and new worlds with AmericanaFusion cuisine.

The owners and staff of Cork Wine Café take great pride in their consistent, high quality cuisine. The boutique style kitchen fills with orders quickly, so they ask that diners expect up to 30 minutes for food to arrive after orders have been placed. To ensure a faster paced dining experience, they recommend dining between 5-6:30 p.m. or after 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Rest assured, the food is well worth the wait. For instance, the pan roasted salmon with bourbon maple glaze, whole grain mashed potatoes, sautéed asparagus, and maple butter, paired with a glass of La Crema Sonoma Coast chardonnay will send your taste buds on a journey they won’t want to come back from. Not a fish or wine person?

That’s fine. Cork has 150 beers to choose from as well, many of which are on tap. A glass of ice cold Sapporo is the perfect match for a plate of Korean chicken tacos. With a price point between $10-$30, the food, drinks, service, value, and atmosphere truly meet, nay, exceed the mark.

Brady Arts District

Preview Magazine

42

Located north of he Sante Fe Railroad tracks from the central business district and centered at Main Street and Brady Avenue, the Brady District is one of Tulsa’s oldest areas, characterized by twostory brick warehouses.

The Brady Theater, built between 1912-14, was originally designed to serve as the city’s municipal auditorium and was simply called Convention Hall for the first 40 years of its life. In 1952, major additions were added and the building was renamed Tulsa Municipal Theater. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Supplanted as the city auditorium in 1979 by construction of the Performing Arts Center in downtown, “the Old Lady on Brady” continues to be used today for a wide variety of concerts and theatrical productions.

T h i s e c l e ct i c d i s t r i ct b o a s t s s u s h i b a r s n e a r b i k e r b a r s a n d i n d i e co f f e e s h o p s n e a r m a r t i n i lo u n g e s .

North of the Brady on Main Street is the Cain’s Ballroom, formerly the garage of the Wyatt Tate Brady family and the home of Bob Wills and his band, the Texas Playboys. The district is also the location of many local artists’ galleries, restaurants with late night hours, bars and dance clubs.

Today, the Brady Arts District is one of the most diverse areas in all of Tulsa. It hosts restaurants, clubs, museums, and businesses and is a prime example of urban living. There is presently construction that will more than double the number of permanent residents in this artistic conclave. The neighborhood’s renaissance got a significant boost in late 2012 with the opening of Guthrie Green, a public garden and outdoor stage, on a central plot of land formerly inhabited by commercial buildings. Guthrie Green has quickly emerged as a neighborhood focal point, hosting community events, live music and a farmers market.

The Blue Dome District, which has steadily developed as a new area for nightlife with bars and dance clubs is on the south edge of the Brady and Greenwood Districts. Williams Plaza and Tulsa City Hall are directly south of the district along with the Performing Arts Center and the Jazz Hall of Fame/ Union Depot building. The BOK Arena is a few blocks southwest of the Brady District on Denver.

Blue Dome District

This is another center for downtown nightlife, centered at 2nd Street and Elgin Avenue and expanding into the surrounding blocks.

Once a 1920s gas station attracting Route 66 travelers with its art deco blue dome, this gem now sits at the heart of numerous pubs,

restaurants, and a vintage bowling alley. Several festivals take place here including the Blue Dome Arts Festival, Free Tulsa Music Festival and St. Patrick’s Day Festival.

Cherry Street

Is more than its name implies—this colorful seven-block area of 15th Street between Peoria and Utica wears many faces. On Saturday mornings during the growing season, you’ll find striped tents brimming with area growers’ harvest at the Cherry Street Farmer’s Market. Later in the day, you’ll love browsing the shops, bistros and cafes. And in the evening, you’ll find restaurants with bars catering to those seeking a trendy and upscale nightlife.

Brookside

Located just south of downtown on Peoria Avenue between 33rd and 51st Streets, is another popular nightlife venue. Here, you’ll find dining, dancing and trendy clubs. This eclectic district boasts sushi bars near biker bars and indie coffee shops near martini lounges. At its center is the upscale international shopping and dining experience named Center One.

As a fairly fresh contender in a fiercely competitive scene, KREWX is gaining momentum by the jam

“Come get Weti at the Yeti!” Right next door to Tulsa’s one and only Cain’s Ballroom, The Yeti is one of Tulsa’s newest and most popular live music venues and bars. With an indoor and outdoor stage and seating, smoking and non-smoking sides, and a casual group atmosphere, The Yeti is the perfect place for anyone looking to have a drink … or a few. For those of us counting pennies, The Yeti has some killer happy hour specials, including $1 domestics and $5 beer and shot combos from 4-7 p.m. every day. If you get hungry, the downtown food trucks might even swing by and pay a visit. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you can actually rent The Yeti for a special event and they’ll even provide the live music or DJs. The Yeti is located at 417 N. Main St., in the heart of Downtown Tulsa’s Brady Arts District. So, take your friends, and go have a drink, because a visit to this bar definitely won’t leave you cold. www.tulsayetibar.com — Taylor Sides

Blu Ultra Lounge Awesome bar in the Brady Arts District. They definitely accomplish their intention of appealing to a broad clientele.

It is a very inviting space. I feel like I can dress up and not feel out of place with their grand piano, beautiful crystal chandelier and black marble bar top, but I can also just show up right after school with jeans and feel right at home with their high chairs and pool table.

Hodges Bend The only thing I don’t like about Hodges Bend is that I keep forgetting to go there. My wife and I went to grab a drink and we both loved it. The decor and ambiance was perfect.

They really paid attention to details like the record player, shelves of liquor and seating. Our bartender was awesome and knowledgeable and never made the place feel snobby.

This will definitely be a place I return to with great joy.

Drake’s Tavern Drake’s is an awesome, cool little pub. Bar is about 2 feet from the door and the bartender immediately greeted us.

The drinks were nice and strong and they had a good beer selection to boot. The crowd was very diverse and friendly.

They even have darts upstairs.

t may come as a surprise to a lot of people that there’s a dance music scene in Oklahoma. And that scene, which ranges from mash-ups, electro, dubstep and party, is to some degree defined by the star quality of the DJs like Cody Tucker.

Tucker, who is also known as KREWX, is a 22-year-old Tulsa native and local DJ who can be seen performing regularly at Electric Circus, a dance club and bar in the Blue Dome District, and at Zanmai Sushi, Tulsa’s newest Japanese steakhouse, hibachi and sushi restaurant, and bar. Launching the Trap and G-House DJ project back in 2012, KREWX has quickly become a household name in the cutting-edge art form that has darted in and out of the mainstream since the disco of the 1970s.

“I have too many things I want to do with my life,” admits Tucker.

“I have a great girl, a strong family, and I look at every day as a blessing. I am an entrepreneur, graphic designer, music and sound engineer starting to bundle all of my passions and hobbies into one big project.”

That project is KREWX. Judging by the response of his fans who return week by week to see him perform while they dance the night away, KREWX is well on his way to joining the ranks of some of the greatest DJs in the Midwest. KREWX is a part of Subkulture Records. www.krewx.com — Taylor Sides

And that doesn’t just mean picking out a product to put in a display case. With the Manolo Blahnik in-store event, that meant identifying the client, crafting budgets, handling travel logistics, preparing displays and creating a buzz. “Sure it’s a lot of work, but when you love your “[Working job and what you’re doing, everything is so much better,” she said. at Saks Fifth

Avenue] It’s like being around pieces of art every day.”

Another part of her job that resonates with her is providing the store avenues for its charitable giving efforts through the Saks Gives program. During these in-store events, 10 percent of the sales benefit a local charity. The YWCA’s Wine, Women & Shoes campaign received “the love” from the Manolo Blahnik launch. “Since everyone loves shoes, I thought the YWCA would be an awesome partner,” said Viles who started in the fashion industry as an assistant buyer at Woodward & Lothrop in Washington D.C. “Our charitable outreachprogram, Saks Gives, is one of my favorite things about Saks.”

A Holland Hall graduate, Viles took her childhood dreams of working in fashion to the University of Virginia before professional stints on the East Coast. While she flirted with staying in the New York area, the draw of family and friends factored into relocating to T-Town where she grew her marketing and communication skills at Williams Companies, Williams & Williams and the Auction Network before landing her “dream job.”

Getting Fresh

S

tarted in 1998, the Cherry Street Farmers’ Market sprung from the kernel of an idea that local, seasonal, and sustainable food is better tasting and better for you.

As the Market has grown, up from a handful of vendors in the late 1990s to close to 90 today, it has gained widespread support from the community at large. Located in Lincoln Plaza from 1998-2009, the Market moved to Cherry Street in 2010 with the strong support of market goers, merchants and the city council. Occupying East 15th Street from South Quaker to South Rockford, the Market has continued to expand, accommodating more vendors and offering more products.

The Cherry Street Farmers’ Market is a purely Oklahoma grown market, which means all agricultural products must be grown or raised in Oklahoma. They are also a 100 percent producer market: all agricultural products are grown or raised by the farmer/vendor selling at the market, and over 75 percent of the vendors are farmers. This eliminates the need for middle men and ensures that the products offered are fresh, local and sustainable.

In 2004, the Market started offering a Wednesday market located at the Tulsa Garden Center. In 2007, the Wednesday market moved to the Brookside area and now resides at 41st and Peoria. The Wednesday market hosts about 20 vendors and serves hundreds of customers. The original Saturday market is also still going strong boasting around 60 vendors and serving thousands of customers each week during the market season—April to October.

And in 2012, a Saturday Winter Farmers’ Market was created that operates on a bi-weekly basis from the Whole Foods Market parking lot on 41st Street just east of Peoria from November through March (8:30-11 a.m.). This provides a viable way for farmers and vendors to continue to bring local food goodness to customers year round. Pick up some beef, chicken, lamb, pork and bacon, along with raw cow’s milk cheeses, and goat cheese, butter, and yogurt. Don’t forget about farm-fresh eggs and locally produced honey, as well. There is also plenty of prepared foods on hand, as well from vendors like Bohemia Moveable Feast, Koehns Grassfed, Farrell Family Bread and Okie Alchemy. www.cherrystreetfarmersmarket.com

Finding deals is a breeze at Tulsa’s Woodland Hills Mall, which has quite the range of stores from clothing and shoes to gifts, jewelry, specialty and novelty items. This two-level, one-plus million square-foot, super regional shopping center is anchored by Dillard’s, Macy’s and Sears. The center features more than 165 fine stores including Abercrombie & Fitch, Apple, Banana Republic, Hot Topic, The Children’s Place, Victoria’s Secret, Zales and over 80 stores you won’t find anywhere else in Tulsa. Among Woodland Hills Mall’s amenities are a carousel, a children’s play area and a glass elevator. All that bargain hunting is sure to make you hungry, so head over to the food court where Auntie Anne’s, Chick-fil-A, Nori Japan and Raising Cane’s will charge you up again. Woodland is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Saturday with Sunday hours Noon to 7 p.m.

Gardner’s Used Books and Music One of the best used bookstores I’ve been to. They have a wide variety of books. I was able to find five out of five authors I wanted as I browsed. Thanks to the great selection, I ended up buying more books than intended and enjoyed it too. The place is like a maze; you can get lost if you ignore the signs on every shelf. Most of the books are 50 percent off their retail price.

Cheap Trills Vintage This is my absolute favorite vintage shop in Tulsa. I always make sure to stop by every time I’m in town. The prices are amazing and very affordable. Pristine 1950s dresses for $25-$45? Heck yeah! If I found the same dresses I’ve bought from Cheap Thrills in Upstate New York, I wouldn’t be able to afford them because they’d be in the hundreds.

Colour Art Gallery It’s a cool and funky gallery that carries jewelry, prints, ceramics, home accents, paintings and just about any other kind of art your creative heart could desire. It’s all very reasonably priced. Everyone was very friendly and helpful at the gallery. They are more than happy to tell you about the artists and their work. Definitely make it a point to stop in and check this place out. It’s fun to browse with friends.

Even with the Woody Guthrie Center showcasing an incredible body of work, can Guthrie’s spirit and message still resonate with a changing culture?

I

And one of the greatest proponents of the unequivocal equanimity of all people was a humble, traveling tune-smith from Okemah, Okla., named Woody Guthrie.

Guthrie’s message was about the brotherhood of man, and how we need to get along and help each other. It’s timeless. It’s the same message that’s been basic since the beginning, and it’ll probably always need to be restated, but Guthrie, who wrote over 2,000 songs, but only recorded one third of them, was definitely a genius at putting it in everyday terms.

His edicts, advice and analysis on the human condition ring in the same vein of truth as the great philosophers, humanitarians and prophets who have steered the conscience of humanity since the beginning of recorded history. Yet as the globe is again encircled with the flames of unrest and the shroud of war, Guthrie’s simple wisdom rings true.

Born in 1912, Guthrie was largely under-appreciated in his own time, branded everything from a bum to a communist. Painter, illustrator, philosopher, journalist, poet and prophet all in one, Guthrie was a Renaissance man dedicated not to haute culture, but to the universal roads traveled by ordinary beings.

In this modern age, where the disparity between the haves and havenots widens almost daily, Guthrie’s spirit rises to once more bolster the faith of the downtrodden, and to bring humanity back to the basic, enduring sensibilities that foster peace and contentment. Guthrie’s words, both sung and scribed, hold power in the here and now, and those who spread his humble ideologies serve to nurture the soul by awakening its roots.

On “Christmastime in Washington” Steve Earle sings, “See there’s foxes in the henhouse/And there’s cows out in the corn/The unions have been busted/And their proud red banners torn/But if you listen to the radio/They’ll tell you all is well/But you and me and Cisco know/It’s goin’ straight to hell/So come back Among those helping to open Woody Guthrie/Come back to us now.”

Woody Guthrie Center the eyes of the blind is the group 102 E. Brady St. | Tulsa over at the Woody Guthrie Those words ring even truer now.

918.574.2710 Center. Home to the Woody www.woodyguthriecenter.org Guthrie Archives, the Center It’s safe to say that Guthrie is one of the most Tuesday through Sunday (10 a.m. – 6 p.m.) preserves his legacy and life important figures in Oklahoma music history. With story and communicates the his total optimism in finding a better way to live and social, political, and cultural to work and to relate to one another as a society, values found in his vast body of work. The Center is a repository for Guthrie and his songs ranging from “Oklahoma Hills” to “This Land is Your Land,” gave life to ideas that a few brave souls are still working on Guthrie’s writings, art, and songs and an educational resource for today. — Chris Greer teachers and students everywhere.

As prolific as Guthrie was at crafting songs, few realize that he was also an amazing writer who penned on topics ranging from war and homelessness to love and sex. Bound for Glory, Guthrie’s most recognizable piece for the general masses, details his experiences riding the rails.

n the Americana musical tradition, there have been many icons.

The roots of the tree stretch back long before Dylan went electric in Newport. They bring together the tales of the pioneering spirit and the ballads that plumb the depths of the human soul. This is the music of the common folk—the dirt-level dig-ins who cling to the tattered fringes of the American Dream.

Philbrook Museum of Art This museum is one of my favorites in the world. The art is traditional in taste. It may not one of the greatest collections on a world-wide scale, but it is beautifully displayed and one of the best art experiences. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous. Helps me to remember that Tulsa was once a bigger, more important oil center than Houston. This part of the city was built when it was still the outskirts of town during the oil boom.

Tulsa River Parks River Parks has spent many years upgrading the bike paths from dirt to nice divided paths running over 7 miles along the picturesque Arkansas River. These improvements have added to the safe feeling of being at the river with all the different people who use the public park.

Dust Bowl Lanes and Lounge This place is great. It has a retro-70’s ambiance and old-school, but like new, bowling lanes.

Price Tower Arts Center (Bartlesville) We enjoyed our tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright office building, and our tour guide gave a great deal of interesting information. We were lucky to get a tour because they do fill up quickly, so be sure to call ahead to be included in the tour. Frank Lloyd Wright was a short man and that is reflected in the dimensions he used in designing the living quarters of the building. He didn’t design this office building with large open spaces.

Jim Davis Arms & Historical Museum (Claremore) Having been involved in Civil War re-enactment in the past, my fiancée was eager to re-visit the museum. I had passed it a million times but had never stopped. The suggested donation was reasonable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We wandered at our leisure, investigating what must have been hundreds of display cases.

Five Civilized Tribes Museum (Muskogee) It is a museum dedicated to preserving the art, history and culture of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek) and Seminole tribes. The two-story museum houses a primer of Native American life in the Five Tribes area downstairs. There are numerous artifacts, displays and photographs. Upstairs is the art gallery. The gallery changes often. When I visited, workers were dismantling a student art show, but there were other items on display including some original wood carvings by Willard Stone, and of course the bronze “Stickballer” by Jerome Tiger.

owboys and cowgirls of all ages, saddle up and ride out to the Tom Mix Museum in Dewey for tons of fun where the West was won. Established in 1965, the Tom Mix Museum, named for the very first cowboy gone movie star, is home to a unique display of memorabilia, along with several of the late actor’s personal items, items that he himself used every single day. Known the world over, Mix made and starred in 85 films with Fox Studios and was a regular performer in the 101 Wild West Show. Several thousand visitors from all over the nation make the trip to the Tom Mix Museum each year to witness a part of history and American cinema first hand.

From small-town, Oklahoma to Hollywood, Mix was living proof that dreams really do come true. The Tom Mix Museum is about an hour north of Tulsa and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. www.tommixmuseum.com — Taylor Sides

ay a trip to Lendonwood Gardens this month as winter turns to spring and the birds begin to sing. Founded in 1995, the Lendonwood botanical gardens in Grove boast a one-of-a-kind blend of Asian and American gardening cultures. With six distinct themed feature gardens, there is plenty to see at this six-acre wonderland of plant-life: 1,200 different plants to be exact. This includes the largest collection rhododendrons in the Southwest, 500 varieties of daylilies, 25 varieties of dogwoods, and one of the largest collections of false cypress trees in the United States. The Angel of Hope Garden is a visitor favorite, as it is home to a brilliant bronze statue of an angel memorializing loved ones lost and bringing peace and comfort to all. A true feast for the eyes and for the soul, the gardens provide a non-profit, educational, scientific environment for the public, stimulating activity and bringing together gardening and botanical research enthusiasts and nature buffs alike. Lendonwood Gardens is open year-round during daylight hours. Entrance is free, but donations are suggested and welcomed.

Maps and information for self-guided tours are available inside the entrance at the gatehouse. www.lendonwood.com — Taylor Sides

The COTM worship leader strikes the right chord breeding excitement with top-notch, pre-message musical presentations.

By Chris Greer

L

ike Bon Jovi, Andy Chrisman had “seen a million faces and rocked them all” during a 15-plus-year run fronting the Grammy-nominated contemporary Christian group 4Him. Despite the amazing success the group achieved including 24 No. 1 singles, there was something missing for Chrisman. “I’d know since I was a kid that being a worship leader was what God was wanting me to do with my life,” he says. “The road had become a grind being away from home so much. And when you put yourself in God’s employment and he gives you an opportunity in your heart, you don’t question it, you just go and know He’ll take care of it.”

Following a meeting in 2005 with Pastor Willie George of Tulsa’s Church on the Move, Chrisman realized that God had brought him an opportunity that would be the final piece of a life-calling puzzle despite the church not being on his career radar.

“If you’re not going to have your own business you want to work for someone you trust,” says Chrisman. “And that person was Pastor George. I saw how much effort he wanted to put into the next generation. He was free of scandal and everything he touched prospered. That was something I wanted to be a part of.”

“We want to put the best product on stage because excellence draws people to God. We don’t want people to think about someone singing out of tune or not able to play the right rhythm,” says Chrisman of his band that rehearses 8-10 hours a week and hundreds of hours for the Christmas, Easter and conference presentations. “And we acknowledge that there are many in our congregation above the age of 50. If you keep going young and younger and ignore that there is a large number of older members, at that point it becomes somewhat self serving. We want to serve everyone who walks through the doors.

So our common denominator is sincerity.”

And sincerity sells. So does reaching back, turning down the amps and breaking out hymns on occasion. The COTM band operates from a mantra of not working until the job is done, but doing the job right.

“We believe that God deserves the best so we need to spend a little more time on the details. “ Some of those details take center stage as the band tackles tunes ranging from a swing-revival version of Hank Williams’ “I Saw the Light,” and a spot-on soulful sampling of Otis Redding’s “Respect,” to contemporary classics “The Greatness of Our God” and “Nothing but the Blood / With Everything.”

Chrisman has also grown in his worship leader role at COTM letting the next generation take the microphone on many songs. “I find it a greater victory to see others knock it out of the park, then doing it myself. I’ve done this. I don’t have anything left to prove. It’s very freeing for me. When I’m old and gray and can’t do it anymore, I want to be able to look back and see that we created something incredible.”

Get to Know …

Andy Chrisman

The partnership has been a blessing for both men. The Chrisman-led worship service rivals nearly any concert put on by rock royalty and backed by million-dollar-national productions.

From the lighting, musicianship, contemporary sound and energy to the obvious attempt to push the creative limits of their gifts, Chrisman and his group serve as the wake-up call during weekend services that reach thousands with “set lists” that appeal to members of all ages.
