Hometown Heroes Tulsa

The end of October and the start of November, time flies when you're having fun podcasting/broadcasting/diabolicasting. Leaves start to change color and fall and the temperature begins to drop. What won't change is the high caliber of music coming form Tulsa and throughout Oklahoma. There will be plenty of turkeys later this month, but other than Davit Souders and Dustin Parkhurst, you will find no turkeys musically speaking on Hometown Heroes. Tulsa, Oklahoma- a great place to live and a great place for music.

All ball, as in All Freakers Ball. This week's podcast/broadcast is part 2 of a well, 2 parter. 34 years ago in 1974, Freakers Ball debuted in Tulsa. All these years later, and it's bigger and better than ever. Hometown Heroes is the official podcast of "The Ball" and one of the 4 stages is the Hometown Heroes Stage. Dustin Parkhurst and Davit Souders play the wide range of music from T-Town and Freakers Ball is your chance to see many of these outstanding performers. Music, pumpkins, ghosts, goblins and so much more-Halloween Tulsa style. Special thanks to event sponsors Guinness & Smirnoff Triple Black.

This will be the 34th year for Freakers Ball and it is the biggest Halloween event in Oklahoma. Not only is Hometown Heroes the official podcast/broadcast of Freakers Ball, we also have our own "Double H Stage".

Friday October 31 Guinness presents the 34th Annual Freakers Ball- 4 stages featuring all Tulsa area music, a $1,000 costume contest, and the very spooky Dustin Parkhurst and Davit Souders.

Tulsa's got gas! Well, Tulsa's always had gas, in fact for years and years our city was known as "The Oil Capital of the World". This week Oklahoma has the cheapest regular unleaded gas in the nation and Tulsa specifically has the lowest price per gallon of any U.S. city: $2.66, HOLY SMOKES!!! What a great time to come to T-Town, hear great music and see the sites, all for under 3 bucks a gallon, now that's a deal. Tulsa's wide variety of music will certainly keep you "gassed up". We of course mean that in the best possible way. Davit Souders and Dustin Parkhurst will offer you some great full service music and perhaps they will check your oil, tire pressure and clean your windshield. Fill 'er up with this week's Hometown Heroes.

Welcome to Tulsa music and October 2008. October in T-Town means much the same as the rest of the United States: Fall, cooler weather, pumpkin patches and the grand finale...Halloween. The Weather's getting cooler but Tulsa's music remains hot. Davit Souders and Dustin Parkhurst can and will gaurantee that. As usual, there's not one, but two fun facts about Tulsa and/or something or someone in Oklahoma. Sit back and turn up whatever player you use to listen to "The Sound of T-Town", remember this podcast/broadcast is absolutely "Where The World Meets Tulsa".

Ever wonder what Tulsa's music scene might have sounded like say, in the 1980's? You may be very suprised, punk rock and new wave were very much alive and well in T-Town, beginning in the late 1970's and stomping their way throughout the 80's, luck for us! This show also educates the younger listeners to the fact that the Tulsa music scene has been alive and well for years. This is musical time travelling at it's best. As we uncover more music from Tulsa's colorful past, rest assured Dustin Parkhurst and Davit Souders will showcase it right here. Take a walk down memory lane, past or present, Tulsa's hometown heroes are among the best.

Our shows host and producer, Diabolical Davit Souders and Devine Dustin Parkhurst could easily do the good cop/bad cop routine, but really their opinions don't differ drastically and they wholeheartedly agree that Tulsa's got some of the best music around. Twice each show you get not one but two really fun and informative facts about Tulsa and/or something interesting in Oklahoma. You know we love Tulsa and you're gonna fall for our little town and it's cute musical ways.

For all practical purposes, Summer is over here in Tulsa. Once most of the kids are back in school, it just seems to be the unofficial end of that Summer-like feel. Not to worry though, whether it's Summer, Fall, Winter or Spring, Tulsas music will be here for you and the rest of the world. This weeks show has a theme of sorts: Acoustic Tulsa, that says it all. We feature acoustic versions that some of our heroes (and sheroes) usually play "electrified", if you will. Davit Souders and Dustin Parkhurst give you the best, no strings attached, well actually, the strings are attached. It sounds much better that way. Listen for yourself. Everyone needs hometown heroes and T-Town has some of the best.
