The Great Divide • The Damn Quails • Red Dirt Rangers • Noah Bowman
Noah Bowman
We couldn’t call it the greatest show in S.E. Oklahoma if we didn’t offer spectacular surprises, so this year, we’re unveiling our November 9 show this week. Kicking off our November #DRMF is Noah Bowman. Southern Oklahoma natives Noah Bowman and brothers Trevor and Devin Dart have joined forces to form this band, and these Okies bring a lot to the table. Red dirt with the amplified sound of rock and roll, they’re helping us start this Fall show off the right way.
Red Dirt Rangers
Up next for our Fall #DRMF is a group that needs no introduction. We welcomed them last year to our red dirt spectacular and we just had to have them back. The Red Dirt Rangers have been carrying the banner for Red Dirt music since the late 80s. We love their “anything goes” form of Red Dirt, as they’ve made their own genre. Make your way to Choctaw Ave. to see our friends, The Red Dirt Rangers on November 09.
The Damn Quails
This next group is rooted in red dirt. But not only that, they are as Oklahoma as the red buds, the sunsets and the birds on the prairies. Our next group, The Damn Quails have their roots in the Red Dirt music scene of Oklahoma. In the decade since releasing “Down the Hatch,” they have toured the country and beyond, soaking up stage time and adding depth to their live performance. Watching their chemistry and live performance is a sight to see. Come one come all to Choctaw Ave.
The Great Divide
Headlining our Fall #DRMF is a group that needs no introduction, as they’ve come to establish themselves as the torchbearer of Oklahoma’s red dirt scene. Festival friends, we are excited to welcome to the #DRMF stage, The Great Divide. Taking the stage on November 9, we’ll be turning Choctaw Ave into a red dirt party. We’ll see you this Fall festival friends.
Lineup
The Great Divide
Few bands are as woven into the fabric of Oklahoma music as The Great Divide. Forming in Stillwater in the early 1990s, they helped build the red dirt sound from the ground up, turning dancehalls and college bars into something like a movement. Songs like "Pour Me a Vacation" and "Never Could" still pull crowds to their feet decades later. When The Great Divide plays, you are hearing where this whole thing started.
The Damn Quails
Out of Norman, The Damn Quails built their reputation on literate, harmony-rich songwriting that never quite sits still inside any one genre. Since their debut "Down the Hatch," Gabe, Bryon and the band have carried a loyal Oklahoma following on the strength of sharp lyrics and a live show that can swing from barroom rowdy to quietly devastating in the space of a verse.
Red Dirt Rangers
For more than thirty years the Red Dirt Rangers have been keepers of the flame, as close to the roots of Oklahoma red dirt music as any band still playing. Tied to the legendary Stillwater scene and the songwriters who shaped it, the Rangers bring a deep catalog, an easy camaraderie, and the kind of road-worn joy that only comes from decades of doing this together.
Noah Bowman
Noah Bowman is an Oklahoma singer-songwriter cut from honest country cloth, the kind of writer who trusts a plain-spoken line to do the heavy lifting. His songs lean on grit, heart, and a voice built for a room that has stopped talking to listen. A homegrown talent on a homegrown stage, he was a fitting way to open a night that celebrated the best of Oklahoma.
