Name: Effron White
Location:
Fayetteville, Arkansas
Music
Genre:
An
award-winning singer-songwriter Effron's gravelly vocals
lend an earthy quality to his songs, which are sung
straight-forward and without pretense. Combined with a
variety of guitar styles employing simple, percussive
flat-picking to laid-back fingerpicking, and a smattering of
Dylanesque harmonica, an Effron White show is a fun and
moving experience.
As a songwriter, Effron draws his influences from those
legends of the past who are looked upon as poets as much as
songwriters. He has borrowed elements of song construction
and delivery from the likes of Guy Clark, Tom Waits, Townes
Van Zandt, John Prine and others.
Achievements:
His
songwriting abilities have led to significant recognition in
numerous songwriting competitions, including the 2004
Kerrville Folk Festival's prestigious "New Folk Competition
for Emerging Songwriters", in which he was a winner.

He has released 2 CDs, "Day in the Sun", in 2000, and,
"Yankee Dime", in 2004. He has been a regular performer at
the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival for the past 6 years.

Name: Steven Beeney
Location:
Near Oklahoma City, OK
Music Genre: My first gig was
table-to-table requests (guitar & voice) w/ 300+ songs.
Since then I've played solo throughout the US & Europe
(acoustic guitar, classical guitar, and renaissance lute).
Most of my working life though has been teaching writing and
humanities, at colleges in Oklahoma, and EFL in Saudi
Arabia.
I live near OKC in one of those competition-as-virtue towns
where fascists for Jesus drive armored vehicles, talk
football, study shoes, and feel smug. The white-collar
crime's so bad around here I have to carry a pen with me at
all times.
I write songs, music, poetry, novels, and bumper stickers
like MARKETING VICTIMS UNITE. I dream of Oregon, Canada,
Ireland, Italy. I teach and perform as necessary, read my
poetry right out loud, and maintain the writing life.
|
|
My regular
appearance is at OKC's Full Circle Bookstore, on the
last Sunday each month, at 2 p.m., which is mainly for
poetry, but a few of us add a song now and then.
Watch out for my
book of poetry, GUITAR & VOICE, my CD of the same title, and
my novel, THE LEGEND OF THE MER CAT--coming soon to a
website near you.

Name: Ray Rector
Location: South
Oklahoma City
About Me: Ray
was born in Frederick, Oklahoma. He grew up and went to
school in South Oklahoma City, where he still resides.
Music Genre: Ray Rector's music
has been influenced by several artist's including Hank Sr.,
Elvis, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Thompson, Merle Haggard, George
Jones & Marty Robbins on up to present day traditional
county stars such as Randy Travis, George Straight & Alan
Jackson just to name a few.
You will notice in his music that there will be several
shades of blue in the songs that represent the hurt & the
lonely, along with word's of warnings that if heeded could
spare many people from heartaches & sorrow.
Other songs he has written show still yet another side of
his music depicting the upbeat, sometimes witty, just for
fun, live, love, laugh and have a good time music.

well. Ray looks forward to watching Danny sing one of his
songs on the Grand Ole Opry Live.

Name: John Noerdlinger
Music Genre:
“Genuine Hick” cd album began on an open-mike night stage of
an Oklahoma City coffee house November, 2005 when John, an
amateur songwriter, made his public singing debut. Even
though he could barely play the guitar, (in fact he was
embarrassingly bad and his voice was creepily atonal), the
lyrics & melodies caught the attention of local musician,
Bob Moore.
John and Bob
began working on the songs together and assembled several
top professional musicians (Scott Keeton, James Keys, Rick
Toops, Mike Meyers). By May, 2006, they were in a recording
studio, and by September had miraculously produced a great
rock record: a wild, wrenching, narcotic stew of sound. The
album is a brooding, Beatle-esque kaleidoscope of
heartbroken blues rockers, cowboy dirges, paranoid dance
songs, and psychoactive reggae and polka anthems.
