Instead, he began an art gallery, the recently opened IVC Gallery at 710 N. Broadway. The venue features works by Fuller and seven other resident artists, all but one of whom is local. The IVC houses an eclectic and interesting collection, which Fuller attributes to its artists’ diversity. “Every artist is very distinctly unique, which […]

His works are just as beautiful and important now as they ever were, despite a century’s worth of technological, social and political change. The Oklahoma History Center celebrates the life of the artist in Crumbo Spirit Talk, a […]

Everything’s Jake
Singer-songwriter Jake Germany took a comical approach when it came time to write, record and release his debut full-length album, Cardboard Kids. “We already had this story concept laid out for the album, so we thought, ‘Why not just go ahead and make it into a book?’ Then, with a couple of us being big […]

Black gold
When you are a three-piece band, the departure of one member — especially the lead singer — can be a killer. Luckily, for Dallas rock outfit Oil Boom, a lineup shuffle only made it stronger. “We’re happy with how things have progressed with this change,” drummer Dugan Connors said of the addition of bassist Steve […]

More than a fan
Thousands of kids grew up singing Boston rock classics “More Than a Feeling” and “Peace of Mind” into a hairbrush in front of the bathroom mirror. Tommy DeCarlo is the only one to go from fan to front man of the legendary Beantown export. “Back when I was a teenager, my friends and I would […]

Chelsey Cope — A Deeper Root
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:1″><span style=" Times New Roman” ,”serif”;mso-fareast-times=”” new=”” roman”;=”” mso-font-kerning:18.0pt;mso-fareast-language:es”=””> Much like Samantha Crain and Sherree Chamberlain, Cope’s voice and arrangements are both undeniably Southern, if tailored, sophisticated and modernized enough to avoid be cloyingly so.

Your Sister’s Sister
The film is scheduled to open Friday at AMC Quail Springs Mall 24, 2501 W. Memorial. Written and directed by Lynn Shelton over 12 days, Your Sister’s Sister is another indication of the ongoing mainstreaming of “mumblecore,” a quasi-film movement punctuated by improvisation, modest production values and, all too often, amateurish notions of storytelling. But […]

Where Do We Go Now?
Slated to open Friday at AMC Quail Springs Mall 24, 2501 W. Memorial, the movie is set in an isolated Lebanese village with an uneasy truce between the town’s Christian and Muslim populations. The peacekeepers are the women — Christian and Muslim alike — who distract the men’s bellicose tendencies any way they can, whether […]

All in the family
Photo: Chris Phelps It won’t be hard to spot indie-rock act Eisley’s tour bus out on the road this summer. It’ll be the one with the “Baby on Board” sign. “It’s going to be funny, with my sisters both pregnant,” said singer and guitarist Sherri DuPree-Bemis of her siblings and bandmates Stacy King and Chauntelle […]

Peace, Love & Misunderstanding
Nothing can bring out one’s inner Richard Nixon like a flight of baby-boomer whimsy that rubs your nose in 1960s nostalgia. Peace, Love & Misunderstanding, a gentle-minded paean to the Woodstock generation, might just make you want to punch a hippie. God knows this isn’t the first indie film to fall prey to contrivances, inept […]
