30 Bands
on 3 Stages
It’s hot here in Oklahoma during the day, but it gets good when the sun goes down here on the late D.C. Minner’s family land each day over Labor Day Weekend. I’ve been involved with this festival since 2003, and it is a great experience each year. The best way to enjoy this is event is to be here for the whole duration. When I first started playing this event, I would be on tour with a band, coming from one gig, stopping in to play one night, and then back on the road the next day to the next gig. I hated that! It was so laid back and enjoyable, that I felt I needed to be here the whole time. It was then I was invited by Selby Minner to be regular at Dusk Til Dawn. I get to play solo on the Back Porch Stage, play between bands as well as my own band set on the Big Stage, and sit in at the various jams on the Club Stage. The hot daytime is a great time to blog, promote, write, and get whatever work done that doesnt get done at home. Read more about the event, also about D.C. Minner’s story on the DTD website.

got a great revue from the Pulse -sometimes they say it better than we can ourselves:
” we need to give you some information on the Blues community as a whole. To begin with they never spell Blues with a lowercase b. These aren’t your everyday musicians, trying to make a buck. . . they do all they can, with or without money, to keep the Blues alive… If you’ve ever met a a Blues musician you’ll feel their energy. It vibrates, hums pulses and radiates like an electrical force. …not a need to take care of themsleves, they need to get out and take care of others – you!
Selby brings in the greats from all over the county. …food for the soul and fun too!” – Amy Addams
