Wednesday Video Spotlight: Norman Music Festival 2012 bands Olivia Tremor Control, Woods, Horse Thief, Brother Bear and more

Norman Fairs & Festivals on wimgo

In the past couple of weeks, the organizers of the Norman Music Festival have been unveiling bits and pieces of the lineup for the fifth annual free event, set for April 26-28.

So far, the festival will include Main Stage headliner Portugal. The Man and Jack Daniels Stage headliner Hayes Carll.

Also, Tulsa’s funky Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and self-proclaimed American band Red Wanting Blue will be featured on this year’s Main Stage. Other bands scheduled to perform on this stage include Weekend Hustler, Rainbows are Free, Crown Imperial and Modern Rock Diaries. Stillwater art-pop band Other Lives, who have been touring this year with Radiohead, will appear on the Main Stage, too.

Along with Carll, the Jack Daniels Stage will include The Giving Tree, Parker Millsap, The Damn Quails, Alejandro Escovedo, Krystal Keith (yep, daughter of Toby), Possum Posse, and Camille Harp and John Calvin.

In the lead-up to NMF, I’m launching today a special edition of my Wednesday Video Spotlight in which I will showcase a selection of the performers from the festival here on my blog.

Since the NMF organizers announced today on Facebook the April 26 lineup for The Opolis stage – Eureeka, Horse Thief, Brother Bear, MMOSS, Shi++y Awesome, Woods and Olivia Tremor Control – let’s start there, shall we?
