The City of Guthrie, Mumford & Sons, Jam Productions and DCF Concerts today sent an alert to media outlets to help warn fans against fraudulent ticket sales for the upcoming Gentlemen of the Road Festival.

The event is Sept. 6-7 in Guthrie. The warning reads:

We are receiving many calls about websites that are offering festival tickets at this time to unsuspecting and excited patrons. There are no tickets to this festival, no VIP packages, no “seats” available.

All tickets are being sold beginning tomorrow (Friday) at 11 a.am. CST through gentlemenoftheroad.com. Mumford & Sons are a very specific artist to their fans with no gimmicks, no "specials," no "pre-sales" or seats or anything of this nature.

We want to alert the public in as many ways possible that unless they are going through the official website beginning at 11 a.m. tomorrow 2/8 there is not a way to procure a festival ticket or camping pass.

+++

Tickets are $109 (including fees) and go on sale 11 a.m. Friday at gentlemenoftheroad.com. Camping is available for $40 per person per day.

The two-day celebration includes a Friday night concert and a festival all day on Saturday, Sept. 6-7, including music from Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, The Alabama Shakes, The Vaccines, Bear’s Den, Half Moon Run, Willy Mason, Those Darlins and more.

Estimates of this tour last year put the economic impact of a concert in Bristol, Tenn., at more than $4.2 million. Organizers expect a similar impact for Guthrie and Logan County. Cottonwood Flats in Guthrie will host the family-friendly event, expected to bring in 25,000 or more attendees to the area.

I didn't know who these guys were, I never heard of them before. I listen to some of their songs on Youtube, they're pretty good. People in Guthrie are in for a good time...Heck, I might even breakdown and buy one of their CDs, the next time I'm in WalMart.

As usual we can always count on someone to be dishonest and try to cash in.

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.
