We have an outstanding season ahead at the Old Church as part of the Cimarron Breeze Concerts. A potluck supper starts before each show, except as noted, at 6 p.m. and the concerts start around 7 p.m. We offer $5 off advance tickets for seniors 65+, military veterans and students.
These shows are coming up and tickets sell out quickly for most of them.

Andy Adams with Carter Sampson and Kyle Reid featuring special guest Erik the Viking
In addition to bringing in established artists, we really like to support young singer/songwriters in their quests for perfection.
Andy Adams started collaborating on songs for this album with Kyle Reid at the Illinois River Jam in 2015. Over the next year they wrote, composed and worked out a lot of songs before getting together a year ago at Kyle’s home studio in Kansas City where they hammered out the details.
They brought in our friend Carter Sampson to sing the duets Andy had written as well as harmony on many of the other songs. John Calvin Abney joined them on all things keys, along with a few other friends, and a record was born after months of practice and 50 hours over four days.
At a show last March, Greg Johnson of Blue Door fame said Andy was one of the best talents he’d since John Fullbright was coming up some years ago. Just about everyone who performed on Back To Square One has headlined a show at the Old Church so it only seems fitting that another young talent would find a way to touch our hearts with his music.
Erik the Viking will get you warmed up to start the night.
Tickets for this Saturday night show are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Physical copies of Back To Square One should be available at the show. You’ll want to pick one up.

The Jared Tyler Band with special guest Sam Gleaves
Since his last visit here with Malcombe Holmes in 2015, Jared Tyler has made waves all over the world sitting in the top 20 of the EuroAmerican Chart and receiving rave reviews. It’s certainly one of the finest recordings to come out of these parts in a while.
If that weren’t enough, he also guested on Malcolm Holcombe‘s Pretty Little Troubles and on John Moreland‘s Big Bad Luv. We think you’re going to really like the band he brings in to the Old Church so be prepared for one special evening with one of our favorite humans.
In addition to the full band, he’ll be bringing in Sam Gleaves, a fine bluegrass performer born and raised in Wythe County in southwest Virginia who performs innovative mountain music with a sense of history.
Tickets for this Saturday night show are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.

Kyle Dillingham & Horseshoe Road
Get ready for a high energy, uplifting musical experience that blends captivating virtuosity and heartfelt sincerity when Kyle Dillingham & Horseshoe Road bring down house just before Christmas.
Voted “Best Americana/Folk Band” in the 2016 Oklahoma Gazette Music Awards, Horseshoe Road’s eclectic style rooted in Bluegrass and Western Swing always aims to inspire. If that weren’t enough Kyle Dillingham was recently named the 2017 OK Gazette’s Best of OKC recipient of the Best Local Singer / Songwriter Award!
And the band will take a little detour to China in just about a week before they find their way to Perkins in December for what promises to be a fine way to end the Fall portion of our concert series.
Tickets for this Friday night show are $30 in advance and $35 at the door.

Sarah Barker & Gypsy Twang with Cowboy Jones
At our FUNdraiser in July, Sarah Barker told us how excited she was to play the Cain’s Ballroom the next night with her band Gypsy Twang and Cowboy Jones, a vintage vibe country and original Red Dirt music band featuring a cast of Oklahoma’s finest pickers and whose core duo has plenty of street credentials in that department — former Red Dirt Ranger Bob Wiles and Anthony Pierce.
It must have been a pretty good night because they’re coming to our church for what is turning out to be an annual betwixt Christmas and New Year’s show. Last year, we had a full house for the Parks Family and it was one of the best shows we’ve ever had. We expect no less from the dozen or so pickers who will be in the house. We might even leave the Christmas lights up.
You often see Sarah lurking about with her camera and capturing some of the best moments of our shows. But the moments where she’s singing are rarely captured on film. This is going to be a very good night.
Tickets for this Saturday night show are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

Mike McClure Band
We so excited to welcome Mike McClure to the Old Church for a good old revival of that vintage red dirt sound.
Mike has been around Stillwater and the scene almost since there was red dirt. As a founding member of The Great Divide in 1992, he led the band through six studio albums before striking out on his own and connecting with the likes of Tom Skinner among others.
He likes to say that his new band is “twice as loud, and half as popular” as the Great Divide but somehow he’s muddled through another seven albums while producing albums for such talents as Cross Canadian Ragweed, Stoney LaRue, Jason Boland & the Stragglers, Scott Copeland, Whiskey Myers, the Turnpike Troubadours and The Damn Quails. Most recently, he put out an album with Cody Canada called Chip and Ray, Together Again for the First Time, a 35-track acoustic masterpiece.
Tickets for this Saturday night show are $30 in advance and $35 at the door.

John Fulbright and the Tulsa Outlaw Band
Just who is the “Tulsa Outlaw Band” you might be asking yourself. Well, in February 2016 we closed out our season with Wink Burcham, Jacob Tovar, Stephen Lee and Roger Ray with John Fulbright on keyboards.
That turned out to be one of the best nights we ever had with kids in the back eating Play-Doh while their parents brought the house down.
To close out our Winter season, John Fulbright will be leading that bunch of fine fellars in what will be another fine show.
That wouldn’t be surprising considering John has always been amazing in our small venue — whether he was alone, had a full band or was just sitting in. In fact, our biggest crowds ever over the past four years have been for him and Jimmy LaFave. We also heard that Jared might come back for this show and lend his particular guitar picking skills to the mix.
Tickets for this Saturday night show are $40 in advance and $45 at the door.
