This seasoned group of Tulsa musicians has been playing together live for a few years, but their new self-titled album is their first as a band. Recorded as live cuts at Black Box Studio and released in January on Tulsa’s nonprofit Horton Records label, Saugeye showcases several original tunes, along with covers of songs by acclaimed singer songwriter, Malcolm Holcombe, and several talents who are no longer with us, such as Tulsa musician and luthier Dixie Michell, Red Dirt legend Brandon Jenkins, and hitmaker Bill Withers.
“Another Lifetime” is the final track on the release.
“This song idea came to me while playing a show at 18th & Boston in Tulsa a few years back,” says Tyler in a statement. “I eventually finished it with my co-writing friend, Jamie Kindleyside. We tried to express the simple hope that comes from being in the moment with someone who really needs it, and then from there the song took on its own meaning.”

TULSA, Okla. -
Just two weeks after winning a Golden Globe, the film shot in Tulsa, “Minari,” is getting more honors.
It picked up six Oscar nominations Monday morning, including best screenplay, score, director, two acting nominations and best picture.
The film was shot in the summer of 2019 in and around the Tulsa area and tells the story of a Korean American family who start a farm in 1980s Arkansas.
It also employed a lot of Oklahomans, people like Todd Ruffin, who owns Midwest Drone Productions.
“It all happened so fast,” Ruffin said.
His crew was hired for a day to film aerial shots for the movie.
