FREE Concert by John Fullbright, Great Lawn, Friday, August 1

 

Bandshell at the Great Lawn

Friday, August 1, 8pm

FREE  

 

TEEMCO presents a free concert by John Fullbright, Friday, August 1Born and raised in Okemah, Oklahoma, singer/songwriter John Fullbright was barely out of high school when he began playing the festival circuit. Raised on the songs of hometown hero Woody Guthrie and steeped in the rich Americana artistry of genre-hopping mavericks like Townes Van Zandt, Randy Newman, and Steve Earle, Fullbright started his music education on the piano at the age of five. He later added guitar to his arsenal, and in his late teens he began honing his craft at the legendary Blue Door in Oklahoma City, eventually releasing a live album with the venue's founder, Greg Johnson. 

 

The concert starts at 8pm and the Gardens will have a festive atmosphere with food trucks, and cold beer from Coop Ale Works. Ice House will be open, serving Nic's burgers, fries, beer and the best milkshakes we've ever tasted.
