Haleys Mixtape: Focus: Red Dirt Bands

My first two years of college, I attended a community college right on the boarder of Kansas and Oklahoma called Cowley County Community College. It was a small town with brick roads and the biggest attraction near the school was a casino that was 18 to enter, which at times was bad for us broke college kids. Since we were so broke stuff like concerts were pretty much out of the question for us. Until I learned that in a club called Tumbleweed located in Stillwater, Oklahoma hosted cheap concerts of country bands that played music referred to as "red dirt". I figured why not check it out, it gives me and my friends something to do thats affordable and maybe i'll meet some cool new people.
As I listened to the music I got more into it and suddenly became bewildered that a band so entertaining was so cheap to come by and after the concert was over I decided to do some research on "red dirt" bands. What I found is that they are very common and most are fairly cheap to watch preform live.

Some bands I came across are: Casey Donahew Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers Band, Eli Young Band, Josh Abbott Band, and Kevin Fowler.

These bands have fun music that are relatable to those with a little redneck in them. I totally recommend that you check them out. Its a cheap form of good entertainment for you and your friends to enjoy together.

Here are some videos of the bands and the songs they preform.
