To learn more about the venue, check out our interview with John Calvin Abney about his record release show at the Blue Door. Within recent years, the Blue Door has hosted modern folk and bluegrass artists like Annie Oakley, John Calvin Abney, and Samantha Crain.
Since then, the venue has been host to acts like the Red Dirt Rangers, Bob Childers, and many more. He named it the Blue Door from the two bright blue doors at the front. He heard about the venue, and took over in 1993. After living in Austin for a decade as a music journalist, he returned to Oklahoma with the intention of moving to Nashville to get an industry job. Greg Johnson, the longtime owner of the venue wrote in a statement that the Blue Door started on accident. Located by Oklahoma City University on McKinley, the quaint brick building is one of the best venues to catch country and folk artists, and they’ve recently expanded to including jazz. The Blue Door is a venue that provides a classic listening-room experience. Dope Sounds is an open jam night for players, so it’s the perfect way for musicians to get involved. Hosted by Chanda Graham and Adam Ledbetter, the jazz night often features great players like Jeremy Thomas and Garrett Jacobson, and they sometimes blend in spoken word with jazz and neo-soul like ProVerb. There’s not a lot of places to enjoy authentic Irish food and drink and live celtic music, so that’s why this is so incredibly cool. They call their sessions “seisiuns,” and they use words like “craic” to describe the vibe of the pub. Sean Cummings has a classic Irish bar feel.
Sean Cummings is an Irish Bar on May featuring celtic musicians seven days a week. Classen Coffee is a great place for musicians who want a quiet spot in which people just sit and listen to their music, whether it’s on the back patio surrounded by hanging light bulbs and the sounds of the city or indoors with comfy couches. When Dawson Hollow played at Classen Coffee company, it couldn’t have been a more perfect venue for the indie-folk band, with rain falling outside, plants and books all around the store, and an attentive audience sipping at their lattes, it’s exactly the kind of cozy spot OKC needs. Sometimes I get to go to cool places, and sometimes I get to write about them ~ #Repost – – – – – – Y’all wanna have quirky music experiences like this?
