THE COLONY
28th Street and Harvard Avenue
10:30 p.m. Friday
Cover: Free
Music: Cody Clinton and the Bishops host a mustache party.
Baffi. Schnurrbart. Bigote. It’s fun to say in almost any language. But a mustache is even more fun to wear. Don’t take our word for it — paste on a Fu Manchu and try it for yourself. (Or, draw one on — Sharpie ink doesn’t last forever, you know.) Plus, Cody Clinton and the Bishops will totally rock this oh-so-fun facial hair fete. Think Wilco going stabby on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: It’s ironic, iconic indie folk rock at its finest ... with a ’stache.

EXIT 6C
222 E. First St.
9 p.m. Friday
Cover: $5
Music: Vandevander, Jesse Aycock Band, Benjamin Del Shreve
Quick! Find a way to clone yourself. There are simply too many great shows worth seeing this weekend — and this is definitely one of them. Tulsan Jesse Aycock’s Neil Young-esque vocals are stunningly bittersweet. His lyrics grab your heart, then gently clasp it until you don’t know whether you’re going to cry or dart right out and kiss a stranger. Then, his weepy slide playing delivers his audience — and bluesy Vandevander’s — into winsome rapture.
Stay for powerhouse powerpop act Benjamin Del Shreve, from Fayetteville, Ark. Its hand-clapping, footstomping, good-time party anthems will have you singing along with every chorus.

PLAN B BAR
520 E. Third Street
8 p.m. Friday
Cover: Free
Music: Jirrhaff, Circa 360
Tulsa psychedelic jammer Jirrhaff gives “sweet auditory smooveness all up in yo’ earhole,” says the band’s homepage. Yeah, that’s about right. With influences ranging from Herbie Hancock to Tool, well, the word “fusion” is too mild. Local hip-hop/rap act Circa 360 includes several members of the latter-’90s Soul Style Krew dance and hip-hop troupe (which last year celebrated its 10 year anniversary).

EXIT 6C
222 E. First St.
Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. Sunday
Cover: $15, available at Starship Records & Tapes and Exit 6C
Music: An Evening with the Chris Duarte Group
Call in now and tell your boss that you’ll be late on Monday. Sunday night, you’ll be rolling with blues powerhouse Chris Duarte’s two, one-hour- plus sets of exhaustingly powerful tunes. This Austin-based six-string virtuoso has always believed that, in music, the journey is as important as the destination — maybe even more so. Get on the bus. This trip isn’t one you wanna miss.
If you’re not convinced, well, Duarte finished fourth on Guitar Player magazine’s Best Blues Guitarist list, behind legends Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and B.B. King. Yep, we figured that last tidbit would sway you.

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.
