Thirty
five bands from 10 states – 50 sets – 65 hours of music
in all will be presented in “the Blues Lover’s Paradise,
right here in Rentiesville” What a way to wrap up the
summer! Dance under the stars or sit in air conditioned
comfort.
DC’s
Rentiesville fest is all about the music. The OK Blues
Hall of Fame is about sustainability. The Blues Fest
runs the gamut from kids who rely on ‘fire’ to get over
straight through to the old timers of the genre who
finesse their way through their blues… and every stripe
in between.
“The
nicest group of people you would ever want to meet” is
the quote from the survey Selby likes the best – “that
says it all”, she says. “My favorite thing about this
music is the people who play it and the people who love
it…it makes for a great party…everybody is here, and
smiles all around.”
Sustainable because hiring and honoring these people who
have their life in this music is the best way to keep it
alive and kicking. This is a hands-on event – actually a
blues Festival that is a family destination as well.
Kids and volunteers are in free, and the price is too
affordable for the ticket buyers :-) , at $45 for
the three days, coming in at less that $1.50 / act.
Volunteers help out for three hours – call 918-473-2411.
Sustainable – it is at DC’s birthplace on the family
farm turned festival site… low key, time worn… cool in
the evenings…fun!
Tom
and his new bride Cheryl Yearnshaw – who puts the
national Blues Festival Guide together - came last year
and loved the Fest. They wrote “When DC and Selby
decided to take some of the “move” out of their
road-weary band, “Blues On The Move,” DC grabbed Selby
and headed “back home,” where they moved into Grandma’s
old place, settled into the ‘quiet life in the country’
(HA!!!), and set part of their house aside to be ‘The
Down Home Blues Club’.
“Everything about Dusk Til Dawn is a ‘family’
affair. The Minners are still very dedicated and
integral to the show, taking the lead role in organizing
and presenting the event. They perform as well. Their
extended ‘family’ includes 12 Board Members, over 100
volunteers, and thousands of dedicated fans. Many of
these folks have been returning each year since the very
beginning (1991).
“Vendors
sell t-shirts, jewelry, barbeque, fried fish, candy, ice
cream, and even ‘fried pies.’ The Kid’s Village sprouts
up around an old school bus. Kids stay busy with Face
painting, costumes, ‘dragons’ (a la Chinese New Years
parades), clay pottery, and puppet shows, made lovingly
available by a group of exceptional volunteers. These
are all hands-on activities, keeping young minds
occupied while the hypnotic sounds of blues slowly soak
into the young minds that will be the future of the
blues. This Kid’s Village is unlike anything we’ve seen
before!!!” But - indoors after-hours is adults only!

It’s Just
A Family Affair…
 The
16th Annual Dusk Til Dawn Blues Festival was held over this
past Labor Day weekend in the Rentiesville, Oklahoma back
yard and home of founders DC and Selby Minner, . Back
yard and Home??? That’s Right!!!
But there’s a story here. Tradition, too.
Years ago,
DC’s grandmother ran a “corn whiskey house” on this
hallowed site in rural Oklahoma. When DC and Selby
decided to take some of the “move” out of their
road-weary band, “Blues On The Move,” DC grabbed Selby
and headed “back home,” where they moved into
Grandma’s old place, settled into the ‘quiet life in the
country’ (HA!!!), and set part of their house aside to be
‘The Down Home Blues Club’.
Dusk Til
Dawn -- that’s 5 PM to 5 AM, folks, ‘cause it’s
usually warm in Rentiesville in the daytime -- grew from its
origins as an annual event at the club. A few years
back, as the show got bigger, DC and Selby converted their
unofficial not-for-profit child into a full fledged,
official 501(c)(3) non-profit ‘teenager,’ including many
from their dedicated ‘family’ of volunteers on the
Board.
Everything
about Dusk Til Dawn is a ‘family’ affair.
The Minners are still very dedicated and integral to the
show, taking the lead role in organizing and presenting the
event and in performing twice nightly for the three-day
show. Their extended ‘family’ includes 12 Board
Members, over 100 volunteers, and thousands of dedicated
fans. Many of these folks have been returning each
year since the very beginning.
Several
weeks before the show, volunteers, some who come several
thousand miles to help, begin to work the magic that
transforms the ‘back forty’ into the festival site.
Three-foot tall grasses are mowed into a comfortable
‘lawn.’ Power is run so vendors can sell t-shirts,
jewelry, barbeque, fried fish, candy, ice cream, and even
‘fried pies.’ The Kid’s Village sprouts up
around an old school bus (the Kid’s Village is just too
much and gets a paragraph of its own below), and a
circus-sized tent miraculously appears before the main
outdoor stage to complete the ‘mirage.’ The
“Down Home Blues Club,” which is now in semi-retirement
and only open once a month, gets a quick dusting, some
posters and lights to liven its interior, and its Festival
time.
 This
year’s show presented 30 bands on three stages over the
three-day run. The mix, as it has been from the
beginning, was rich in the Oklahoma blues tradition (James
Walker, Tony Matthews, and Barry Harris – to name just
a few) but also included national and regional acts such as Rory
Block, James Peterson, and Johnny Rawls. The line
up even included several groups of young blues musicians
from as far away as Dallas, and to keep things moving
between acts, a rich variety of acoustic blues was presented
throughout the evening.
In keeping
with DC’s and Selby’s active participation in the
Oklahoma school system through their innovative ‘Blues in
the Schools’ programs, the Kid’s Village has also been a
big part of the event. Face painting, costumes,
‘dragons’ (a la Chinese New Years parades), clay
pottery, and puppet shows are made lovingly available by a
group of exceptional volunteers. These are all
hands-on activities, keeping young minds occupied while the
hypnotic sounds of blues slowly soak into the young minds
that will be the future of the blues. This Kid’s
Village is unlike anything we’ve seen before!!!
Around 5 AM
Monday morning, the mirage begins to fade. The corner
of Rentiesville Road and DC Minner Road slowly begins its
transformation back to a peaceful country corner, the echoes
of 30 great bands being slowly absorbed into the still
Oklahoma dawn. The Down Home Blues Club lets out a
slow sigh as it slips back into the comfort of
semi-retirement, and the grasses are already starting to
grow back. But this is truly a play land with a
once-a-year mission to spread its owner’s vision of The
Blues far and wide.
There are
fitting footnotes to this story and to DC and Selby
Minner’s long devotion to the blues tradition. Over
the weekend, Selby Minner (along with Elvin Bishop,
Junior Markham, Steve Pryor, James Walker, and Frank Swain)
was inducted into the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame, DC
Minner received a “Lifetime Achievement Award” from
the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame, and September 1, 2006 was
declared DC Minner Day throughout Oklahoma by Governor
Brad Henry. ‘Congratulations’ are indeed in
order for all.
After saying goodbye to our new found
family in Rentiesville we’re back on the road in Blues
Country and will keep you posted.

the
world's best back yard blues party... a showcase of the
OK-TX blues tradition, national headliners and more!!
….
“Hey Everybody! Tell Everybody...”
that
in
Oklahoma
, hidden out in the woods, is a little old juke joint
called The Down Home Blues Club.
It’s
authentic, funky, and very much alive. 30 bands from 9
states will rock all nite long at this year’s Festival
over Labor Day Weekend……
It’s been there since Oklahoma Bluesman D.C.
Minner’s grandmother opened up a bootleg corn whiskey
bar 80 years ago. Now,
however, the bootleg whiskey is gone.
You can get a cold beer, water or soda, and
sometimes people bring potluck, but it’s all about the
music. The
club opens the first Saturday of every month, and the
annual Festival is coming soon. There
are informal jam sessions, musicians show up with cases,
and the years roll back.
Part of the magic is the energy produced by the
connection of musicians with the audience, but the little
club has its own charisma: a grittiness and authenticity
both palpable and intoxicating.
It is rural and real in a sense that other venues
fail to capture. For
those who have never felt the power of the Blues, try
Rentiesville. For
the full effect, mark your calendar for Labor Day weekend
and come to the Dusk to Dawn Blues Festival, a three-day
event that has occurred yearly for the past fifteen years.
The Down Home Blues Club is operated by Friends of
Rentiesville (F.O.R.) Blues, Inc., who intend to preserve
the site in all its originality and make it a museum, as
well as the home of the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame, which
was founded by F.O.R. Blues and already has inductees.
Please mark the date and help us get the word out.
Thirty bands on three stages, indoors and out, keeping the
music alive and well. Musicians love to be part of the
Festival at D.C.’s old home place, and put on their best
shows. They jam with each other making connections that
last for years as others look on enjoying the music.
 
 
the
FESTIVAL --- Thirty bands from nine states over three
days and nights - September 1, 2, 3 - showcasing the OK

The third annual Blues on the Green Golf
Tournament was a huge success, raising $2000 for the upcoming Dusk
til Dawn Blues Festival, giving away lots of prizes and most
exciting of all, having a hole-in-one winner get the car! During the
tournament, held at Fountainhead in early June, Leo and Helen Murie
stepped onto the green at the 18th hole not even
realizing they were competing for the handsome Nissan Altima parked
close by. It was shotgun start time, and Leo nailed a hole-in-one –
very first shot of the day! Last weekend, following appropriate
paperwork with the insurers Hole In One International out of Vegas,
the car was presented to the Muries at the Down Home Blues Club / OK
Blues Hall of Fame in Rentiesville. Blues legend and festival
founder D.C. Minner gave the key to the reserved but excited couple.
It was a great moment for F.O.R Blues Inc., Domenica Lovera, Tiki
Urbach-Teague and Janie Teague-Urbach who put the event together.
And everyone was pleased to have the winners be actual Festival
goers – volunteers, even!
Friends of Rentiesville (F.O.R.) Blues Inc. is
the nonprofit organization of the OK Blues Hall of Fame. The group
was started in 2003 to keep the work of D.C. and Selby Minner
ongoing into the future. In addition to the Labor Day Festival which
will bring 200 musicians to the small African-American township of
Rentiesville, the group has educational outreach activities. The Jam
Band is free and meets each first and third Saturday of the month at
the time worn Blues ‘juke joint’. This is when young hopefuls and
students of the music get to jam with masters. This is in keeping
with the traditional nature of the music itself. 4 – 6 pm you will
hear novices and professionals playing together….Johnny B. Goode,
Lean on Me…My Girl…. FOR Blues fundraisers also include yard sales
and soon there will be a Cookin with the Blues Cookbook, hats and
more!
To become a member of FOR Blues you can attend
the first annual full membership meeting at the Blues Club in
Rentiesville this Saturday, July 15th. Meet and greet at 6 follows
the Jam Band. The meeting itself will be at 7 pm. There will be
munchies, provided by Loveras, and live music afterwards. You are
invited to get up-to-date with this year’s Dusk til Dawn Blues
Festival plans (number 16), see old friends, make new ones, and help
out as Rentiesville gets ready to host 30 bands from nine states
Sept. 1, 2, and 3. Please check the web site for more info at
www.dcminnerblues.com. Call Selby at 918-473-2411 for info.

...FIRST SHOT
WINS THE CAR!!
…Area Music
Lovers Provide Golfers an Exciting Day at Fountainhead, Raising
Funds For Dusk Til Dawn Fest
"You’ll never see that again!" remarked the golf pro at the “Blues
On The Green” tournament about the shot that won the car last
weekend. On the 18th hole sat a brand new Nissan Altima, with the
Fenton Nissan sign on the door. It was around 10 am, and a husband
and wife team started their day at the hole-in-one hole, number 18.
It was their first shot - the first shot of the whole tournament,
actually, and Leo had never made a hole-in-one in his life. In it
goes! It was a clean shot! “He made it!” “He what?!?” --cries rang
across the golf course “He made a hole in one!” … “Someone said it
was the smoothest swing they had ever seen”, said Barbara Traylor.
Sandra Crockett from the Friends of Rentiesville Blues was the
witness. Sandra jumps up and Domenica screams and runs,
congratulating Leo Murie (from Pawnee) and his wife Helen who are
overjoyed - later on they said they had ‘just started shopping for
a car for her to get to work with, anyway!’ This was Blues on the
Green Tournament number three, and F.O.R. Blues Inc. (Oklahoma Blues
Hall of Fame) could not be more proud to finally be giving away a
new car this year. Domenica
Lovera, tournament organizer said “you hope but never expect for
someone to win. Never in a million years did I think it could
happen!! It’s a once in a lifetime thrill. What a lucky shot and a
thrill - even to me!” Michael Urbach-Teague, co-organizer, said he
was glad that their “payments for (car) prize insurance actually
paid off.”
You can
meet everybody - the car will be given away in a few weeks, after
the paperwork goes through with Hole In One International. Hall of
Fame and Blues Festival founder D.C. Minner will give the car to the
Muries at the Fenton Nissan Dealership in McAlester. We will be sure
to let you know exactly when.
Blues
On The Green raised over $2,000 dollars to support the biggest F.O.R.
Blues / Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame event of their year; over 200
musicians including Rory Block will converge on Rentiesville (pop.
99) for the 16th annual Dusk til Dawn Blues Fest this Labor Day
Weekend. Fri., Sat., and Sun., Sept 1, 2, and 3, with performances
on three stages. The main stage sports a dance floor and a tent for
shade, and the Back Porch stage is at the Kid's Village. Events over
the entire three day fest keep the tykes busy having fun (drumming,
costumes, puppets, face painting, pottery...) The third stage is in
the time-worn juke joint that is the Down Home Blues Club - and now
also the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame. The outdoor shows are family
friendly and go till midnight or so; the indoor club stage rocks on
til 5 am. Check
www.dcminnerblues.com for details.
At the
tournament, Blues on The Green golfers were treated to great Italian
Sausage sandwiches cooked by Rachel Lovera from Lovera's Catering.
Also music by local blues guitarist/singer, Selby Minner with
percussionist, Jahruba Lambeth from Norman, and Tahlequah's
true-blues duo Harold Aldridge and Pat Moss.
“A
special thank you to Budweiser; Lou Moreau, Ben Schones, and Brad
Fenton from Fenton Nissan for supporting us three years in a row”
says Domenica. “We couldn’t do it without them.”
Our hole
sponsors were McAlester TH Rogers Lumber, Matt McGowan Bank N A.
Choctaw Casino, Zachary’s Gourmet, Professional Counseling Center,
Greens Elevator, Stachmus Insurance, Legends Hair Salon, Pete’s
Place, Winkle’s True Value Hardware, Watts Oil, Cowboy’s Barbeque,
Frame Building Supplies, Sailing Horse Vineyards, USlogon.com,
Lovera’s Kreb’s Korner, Eddie Harper Stipe Law Firm, What About
Bob’s Restaurant, and Nichol’s Super Saver.
Cash
awarded for 1st place went to Billy Torix and Kyle Tingel.
2nd Place was won by Jamie Carman and Steven Sykes, and 3rd
went to Cody Jennings and Brad Whitmus. Melvin Potter won the
Closest to the Pin prize, a putter from Budweiser. A beautiful golf
bag, with all the trimmings including a timepiece, also from
Budweiser, was awarded to Kyle Tingel for the Longest Drive.
Every
player won a door prize. These were donated by the Creek Nation
Casino, Budweiser, and others. Tahlequah Native American artist Dana
Tiger donated a signed print which was snatched up by an early
winner. Prizes included fancy golf shirts, towels, golf shoe bags,
carry-alls and other items that make a golfer's game comfortable and
elegant. Sponsor Hole In One International out of Reno NV provided a
coupon for each player to redeem for a wood valued at $100, as well
as great prizes for hole-in-ones at all par-3 holes over 135 yards.
Prizes were awarded by co-organizer Janie Teague-Urbach who adds “An
equally exciting Blues on the Green Golf Tournament is planned for
next year!”
“Our
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Murie, and we hope to
see you when we give away the car in McAlester or at the Blues
Festival in Rentiesville over Labor Day Weekend”, said Selby Minner.
“For more info call us at 918 473-2411.”
