TheTurnpike Troubadoursare perhaps the most innovative storytellers to ever call Oklahoma home. Songwriters Evan Felker and R.C. Edwards have the uncanny ability to simultaneously tell stories on a macro and micro level with their keen vignettes of Eastern Oklahoma. Their storytelling often relies on common idioms and expressions that feel familiar...
John Fullbright established himself nationally with the release of the 2012's Grammy-nominated From The Ground Up, but tales of his exploits had rumbled throughout Oklahoma for years. A former Troubadour himself, Fullbright's storytelling hinges on a plainspoken delivery with the uncanny ability to pull on your heartstrings with just a turn of phra...
There's a warmth to John Moreland's songwriting that feels as comforting as it does lonesome and stark. Like Jason Isbell or BJ Barham, Moreland has the ability to transport you to private memories that feel like the secrets we all keep close to the vest.

In several many ways, Linville helped usher in a new age for Oklahoma as a guiding contemporary to the likes of Fullbright, Millsap and Moreland. His latest release, Up Ahead, is highlight...
Singer-Songwriter Levi Parham hit his stride as a storyteller with the release of 2016's These American Blues. With Red Dirt legend Jimmy LaFave at the producing helm, Parham's bluesy grit shines. Parham's warm vocals provide a hearth for songs to surround very much in the same vein as Ray LaMontagne and Amos Lee. Like Fullbright, Millsap and Linvi...
The Oklahoma City-based Carter Sampson delivers delicate, yet demanding folk ballads stained with earthy organic arrangements. 2016's Wilder Side, which was produced by Linville, finds her at her most mature and thoughtful. While Sampson's velvety vocals bring you close, it's her diary entry songs that keep you returning. Essential Listening: "Quee...
While other Oklahomans listed have primarily been influenced by the rustic realism of Woody Guthrie, Tulsa's Jacob Tovar evokes Western Swing King Bob Wills and the old-time classic country honky-tonkers who helped establish Cain's Ballroom as Oklahoma's greatest music venue. With The Saddle Tramps, Tovar's country croon is right at home on old juk...
