Wink Burcham and Scott Evans at the Grey Dog Listening Room

Our next house concert is March 8th at 7 pm with troubadours both Wink Burcham, and Scott Dormis Evans! It’s going to be a wonderful evening of stories and song with two incredibly talented humans! Scott recently completed his first solo album which has been getting a great deal of attention from serious music lovers and venues. He says: “In October of 2020 Wink Burcham and I converted an apartment over an old gas station in Spavinaw Oklahoma (thanks John Knotts) into a makeshift recording studio and started recording my debut solo album. Dustin Pittsley played drums, Annie Paine played stand up bass, I played the acoustic rhythm and Wink overdubbed electric leads and rhythm guitars. I came of age musically in Stillwater, Oklahoma in the early nineties playing with a redneck hippie jam band called Medicine Show. Along the way I played shows, after hours jams and wrote songs with Wink Burcham, Randy Crouch, The Red Dirt Rangers, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Cody Canada, Jason Boland, Monica Taylor, Great Divide, Mike McClure, Stoney Larue, Bob Childers, Tom Skinner, Brandon Jenkins, Jimmy LaFave, Greg Jacobs, Evan Felker, John Fullbright, Bill Erickson, Mike Shannon (The Daddy'O that first introduced me to many of these mighty mythical archetypes) and many others too numerous to list here. The influence all these folks had on my musical values is vast and unknowable to me. I shudder to think what kind of songs I might have written without their examples as inspiration. I took twenty years off and raised an incredible daughter but never stopped writing down songs as they intruded on my consciousness.” Wink Burcham is an integral part of the “New Tulsa Sound.” He has developed a very loyal following in the region. Performing a style that easily slips between old-fashioned country, grass-roots folk, and Motown-inspired blues, it's easy to understand his appeal. His soulful melodies support witty and heartfelt lyrics in the tradition of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, and John Lee Hooker. His. debut studio album, Irene Vennie was recorded at the legendary Church Studio in Tulsa. The Grey Dog is a house-concert-style listening room which gives you the opportunity to truly HEAR the music, and stories that go along with the performance. We are BYOB and host a voluntary potluck.
