Most people who come to the Southern tip of Oklahoma down 1-35 come for the recreational clear waters of Lake Murray and Lake Texoma but this area is also a retreat for a growing music movement called “Red Dirt”. Oklahoma has been home for some well known music performers and an up and comer is Kirk Riggs and the Dewey Drivers Band who call Ardmore home. The band consists of Kirk Riggs, lead vocal, rhythm guitar; Taylor Reed, harmony vocals, lead guitar; Ryan Oldham, rhythm guitar; James Marris, bass; and Ryan Roring, drums. Kirk is the primary lyricist, writing most of the songs. He and the rest of the band put music to the words. With their combined talents, their works have a unique quality that is not seen in most music today. On their new E.P. “Live Sessions at Sully’s”, Kirk and company express their views ranging from relationships, addiction, and the simple life of growing up in southern rural Oklahoma. In the opening track “When Tomorrow Becomes Now”, Kirk and company deal with how it is to live in a small town where everyone knows you and everything about you. When relationships go sour it seems all your friends take sides and you feel you just need to get away from this small town and maybe things will get better. Also featured on the E.P. is “I Met the Devil”. The “Devil” is any addiction people struggle with and question why we can’t get away from it. Kirk Riggs and the Dewey Drivers Band have played for sold out crowds including Stillwater, Oklahoma and Ten Buck Two in Ardmore. Kirk got his start playing alongside performers such as Jeff Hobbs and Rich O’Toole. Soon after, he was playing areas from Muskogee to Ardmore, Oklahoma and Paris, Texas to Stillwater, Oklahoma with famous acts such as Jason Boland and Reckless Kelly. Kirk & Company are adding many more cities to their upcoming schedule. They have also donated a lot of time to benefits and charitable events including Kraig Lee Hodge Memorial Scholarship Fund during “Kooterfest”, “Downtown Festival”, an event promoting live music in Ardmore and Suzy’s Fund, an event to raise money for those afflicted with Craniosynestosis. Kirk and the DD Band wrap the audience in a high energy performance that brings you into the emotions of the songs they write. After watching the intense performance, the crowd feels like they have walked in the bands’ shoes.
