It's with great excitement that we announce the OKAY Vinyl Series: a collection of limited-edition split 7" records celebrating some of the finest talent in Oklahoma and beyond.

Vol. 1 will be released September 28 and features new songs by Samantha Crain and John Calvin Abney. John and Samantha are artists in the truest sense; they represent what is best about our local music scene, and it's a tremendous honor to be working with them for this project. Offerings by Oklahoma artists Husbands, Tallows, and Beau Jennings, as well as Texas-via-Oklahoma band Lord Buffalo, are slated for future volumes. Concerts celebrating each release and more bands for future volumes are to be announced.

All tracks to date have been recorded with Scott Johnson and Dustin Ragland at Stowaway Recording in Oklahoma City’s Deep Deuce neighborhood. Photographer Ryan Magnani has shot black-and-white photos for the project as well, and all the records will be pressed on colored vinyl, creating a visual continuity throughout the run of the OKAY series. There is no A-side or B-side; rather, each artist receives equal billing and one side of the jacket art.

Preorder Volume 1, or subscribe to Volumes 1-4 here.

Cheyenne's classic album I Am Haunted, I Am Alive to be reissued on vinyl April 13, 2018

Led by songwriter Beau Jennings, the Norman-based americana/indie-rock band Cheyenne helped pioneer Oklahoma's burgeoning original music renaissance in the early 2000's. Cheyenne's debut album I Am Haunted, I Am Alive was originally released on Kansas City based label The Record Machine in 2005, and became an instant classic within the Oklahoma music scene and beyond, eventually being named one of Oklahomarock.com's top 10 records of the 2000's. Clerestory AV is proud to now make Haunted available for the first time on LP through a limited edition pressing of 200 copies on 150-gram clear vinyl. The record has been remastered for vinyl by TW Walsh, and includes a full color inner sleeve showcasing stunning original artwork by Jamison Hunt.

Included as a special bonus with the record will be a digital download of Cheyenne Songs, a collection of covers by friends of the band including John Moreland, BRONCHO, Samantha Crain, Travis Linville, and over 20 others, with a full track list to be announced soon. This collection is currently available exclusively with purchase of LP.

“If you combine the breathy, deep vocals of Pedro The Lion's David Bazan with the wistfulness of Sufjan Stevens, you might get Cheyenne's Beau Jennings... Jennings differs by approaching the singer/songwriter sphere from a frontier-Western perspective, addressing themes of spritituality and heartache during times of turmoil.” - Magnet Magazine

“His influences are varied: he tells stories like Tom Waits, ask questions like Bob Dylan and sings like Jeff Tweedy. But Jennings is better than the sum of his parts, and Cheyenne has just raised the bar for musicians and audiences alike...” - Fran Magazine

“Beau Jennings...sure does not disappoint. [Cheyenne’s] ability to make accessible countrified pop is authentic, with or without the slick production; although the production on I Am Haunted, I Am Alive is damn near flawless... We’ll let’s see, Conor has Nebraska, Sufjan has Michigan, maybe Jennings has Oklahoma?” - Silence Magazine
