Nice poster

Thanks Scott. It went through a few stages before coming to this. Scissor-tailed flycatchers make up the zig-zag pattern most people see as a net. The top portion was appropriated from an early 1900s illustration of a "buffalo jump".

Yep, sure is. I actually used to live in Owasso for a little while before coming back to Colorado. Nice to do a Tulsa venue, still feels familiar.

Wow! I looked at the guy and thought he was trying to be like Jack White. Then the posters resemble the style Jack has used in the past. I was ready to write him off. BUT I watched the video and holy shit! This guy is a flawless talent with soul to spare! A completely original act in his own right. Thanks for posting this! I'm gonna start digging for more from him. Good stuff.

You're welcome man! There's a section on his website called "The Blackbox" which has some unreleased stuff that's password protected. If you want hear more, shoot me a PM and I'll ask TJ if it's cool with him.

Jesus Christ! That song "Only Money" is a freight train! That has the potential to be huge! I really hope this guy gets exposure.
