A new friend of mine, since this time last year, is holding his 3rd new annual music festival. His name is Cody Brewer, you may know him from his band Grazzhopper, plays at the Treehouse (1738 S. Boston Tulsa, OK) and The Colony (2809 S. Harvard Ave Tulsa, OK). The festival this month is taking place on the 13th & 14th. I attended as a vendor last year and had an awesome time. You can find some mind blowing local music, interesting artwork, and great workshops on sustainable living & health. The festival is being held at Valley Sports Complex just East of Owasso, OK. You can purchase tickets online.

Directions from Downtown Tulsa: North on HWY 75 –> East on HWY 20 –> South on Keetonville Rd. > Easter Island Festival.
Hosted by Tulsa based band The Moai Broadcast, Easter Island features Tulsa’s best original acts plus some regional favorites. Occurring in April, it will be a celebration of the transition into the spring season, mother earth, and the beginning to the 2012 festival season. Drawing on some successful talent from the first two Easter Island’s there will be many new flavors added to the lineup and an all new venue with plenty of room to jam, celebrate, and congregate.
The Moai Broadcast is challenging all perceived conceptions of what music is to be and is also attempting to break the conventional when it comes to musical expression. Conventional wisdom has bands playing in bars, soliciting record labels, recording albums, etc… The Moai Broadcast wants to create a memorable experience at each and every show. They want to build an experience that isn’t just created by the band but is created by everyone involved. That is why EIF was created. It is important for The Moai to create a place where folks can congregate and enjoy all the special things that surround music. A place that feels like a retreat. A concert that takes you to another world. A complete experience that will grab your memories and never let go.
