Fowler Volkswagen and Blackwatch Studios in Norman have teamed up to offer a holiday gift to indie music lovers — a free album filled with original holiday music from local musicians and a free holiday concert to follow.

"A Blackwatch Christmas" features local acts including Colourmusic, Ben Kilgore, Sherree Chamberlain, Ryan Lindsey (of Broncho, Starlight Mints) and more. The album includes nine original songs and one cover.

“There are moments in the album that feel instantly nostalgic, moments that make you want to party, and moments that hint at this being a comedy record,” Evans said in a press statement. “When people get to walk away from the record store or the Christmas concert with a professionally pressed LP, it speaks highly of the music community here.”

The album is available for free download online at fowlervwchristmas.com. In addition, 1,000 free vinyl copies will be available starting today at Fowler Volkswagen of Norman and several local businesses throughout the Oklahoma City metro area. Vinyl editions also will soon be available. Check Fowler VW through Twitter (@FowlerVW) and Facebook (Facebook.com/FowlerVW) for more info.

A free holiday concert featuring contributing will be 8 p.m. Saturday iat FIVE, 412 E. Main St. in downtown Norman.

“Part of our shop’s mission is to contribute to a community where local artists and musicians thrive,” said Fowler VW General Manager Jonathan Fowler, who also is past chairman of the Norman Music Festival and is on the board of the Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.
