So I played the first of many Dirty Sundays at Dan O'Briens in OKC last night. The crowd was great (even with the storm) and it was nice to get all the requests. It was fun playing with my good friends Evan Felker from The Turnpike Troubadours, & Clint Osmus of Clint Osmus and the Bushmills. If you missed last night, don't worry, we will be doing it every Sunday at Dan O'Brien's 2747 W. Memorial Rd in OKC. Cover is $5 and next week we'll have Aron Holt from Mama Sweet and Chad Sullins. Come on out and enjoy some Red Dirt acoustic music.

One of my Grandfather's bands

So my Aunt just recently gave me a picture of my Grandfather, Kenneth Jackson, with one of his bands from the 30's. He's the guy with the fiddle. I thought I would post it. I never got to know him because he passed away in April 1969, but I have a few pics and my Dad has some recordings Kenneth and his band made. My Grandmother has told me several stories of all the shows, barn dances and events she would go to with him, and I can't help but think how our musical lives are so similar. I just wonder sometimes what it would be like to sit down and talk about those days and maybe play a few songs together.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy a bit of my past. I'm gonna try and get those recordings transferred to a digital format. We'll see.


UPDATE:
The name of this band was Kenneth Jackson and the Prairie Night Owls. Just found out this info!

Our day at KFOR in OKC

Here are some pics of when Steve and I went to KFOR studios in OKC to plug No Justice's upcoming show at The Wormy Dog in February. We were on in the morning and then again on the evening broadcast. Our buddy Evan Davis came with us for the evening broadcast. That's him sitting at the anchor's desk. It was a lot of fun, and I got to catch up with Kevin Ogle who goes to the same church as my folks in Edmond. Thanks to everyone there. We enjoyed the show and our time at the studio. It's always fun to see the behind the scenes stuff.
