Red Dirt Rangers look forward to Christmas Show
Christmas happens to be the most joyful time of the year for august Payne County band the Red Dirt Rangers.
After headlining their 17th annual Red Dirt Christmas last weekend at historic Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, the Rangers will play their even longer-running Kids Christmas Show on Sunday afternoon at Oklahoma City's Blue Door.
For singer/guitarist Brad Piccolo, singer/lead guitarist Ben Han and singer/mandolin player John Cooper, that's two of their favorite shows in two of their favorite venues.
“We've been on the stage at the Blue Door more than any other act ever ... between all the benefits we've done, the Woody (Guthrie tribute) shows, the Kids Christmas show every year,” Cooper said. “We've played there since the day he opened it.”
Shortly after proprietor Greg Johnson opened the Blue Door in January 1993, the Rangers presented the idea for the children's holiday show.
“Oh, man, kids are the best audience ever. I mean, who loves music more than kids?” Cooper said. “I love the energy that they have as an audience. When they're into what you're doing, man, it's magic. It's kind of a little magical carpet ride. It's just fun and they scream and applaud and they love the music and they dance and they sing along. It's just cool.”
