For April’s First Friday, we’ll be featuring Computer Girl with support from DJ Lite Brite!

If the weather is good, the show will take place outside in our gardens. If the weather’s bad, we’ll move the event inside.

ATTENTION: WE HAVE FILLED ALL CAKE ENTRY SPOTS SO REGISTRATION FOR THE BAKE OFF IS NOW CLOSED, BUT YOU CAN STILL REGISTER FOR THE EASTER BONNET COMPETITION AND/OR COME FOR THE CAKE WALK!

Please join us at SixTwelve on Saturday, March 30th, 2024 (one day before Easter). We finally brought back our annual Cake Walk Bake Off last year and this year’s event is sure to top it because we’re making it bigger, better and more honoring of the bakers that decide to compete! We’ve name this event in honor and in memory of one of our all-time favorite humans, Chef Scotty Irani.

Chef Scotty helped us every year (pre-pandemic) to plan and hold this event in order to help us raise funds for our SixTwelve teaching kitchen; he taught camps and classes to kids and adults and lent a whole lot of support. We would absolutely not be who we are without all of the love and support that Scotty gave to us so we want to celebrate his life in this very fun way!

We’ll also be holding an Easter Bonnet Competition so start dreaming about what you want your bonnet to look like. The bigger the better!

Join us from 7-9pm on Friday, December 1st for our SixTwelve Holiday Music Party! The show is FREE but donations to SixTwelve are welcome! We’ll be treated to some real goodness by Travis Linville and Brothers Griiin’s DJing prowess will get us dancing!

travis linville

When someone comes from as strong a musical stock as Travis Linville, a conventional life and the path not taken are irreversibly conjoined. His preternatural musical work ethic was ignited as a small child on the built-in stage in his grandparents’ music room, and since then, Linville’s thirty-something years of sweat equity have culminated in a winding, successful career built of disparate parts: veteran and up-and-comer, mentor and underdog, session player and bandleader, sideman and songwriter. 

A sought-after collaborator, Linville’s touring instrumental work includes turns onstage with Samantha Crain and Hayes Carll and session work with too many artists to count, among them gifted American songwriter John Moreland and indie rock stalwart Berwanger (feat. members of the Anniversary). In recent years, he’s performed his own music as hand-selected support for Carll, fellow Oklahomans Moreland and Parker Millsap, Todd Snider’s Hard Working Americans, and even country legend Marty Stuart.

Combined with his hundreds of solo shows, these collaborations and his recorded catalog, including 2017’s Up Ahead LP, have built for Linville a dedicated group of fans equally enamored of his nonchalant technical skill—whether as his own producer and studio engineer, or on guitar, pedal steel, piano, mandolin, or any number of other instruments—and his artistry and taste.

Among those fans who’ve spent decades following Linville’s solo work is Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native JD McPherson, who recollects, “Growing up in Oklahoma, Travis was known everywhere as one of the most respected musicians and performers from a very large pool of talent.”

Pre-pandemic, we used to hold “Coffee Talk” gathering of the minds every Saturday morning at 8am and we loved the chance to get to catch up and talk with people before we got busy working in the garden. We’d like to invite anyone who used to visit with us then or who just has a desire to connect with community now to join us on Saturday, November 11th from 8 to 11am for a coffee and potluck. We’ll provide the coffee and one breakfast dish, but you can bring your favorite breakfast dish too!

Free First Friday Show at SixTwelve:

Kalyn Fay & carter Sampson

Join us as we continue our First Friday Show Series that focuses on Oklahoma women in music!

Kalyn Fay is an Oklahoma-bred songwriter who has a voice that commands rapt attention, whether filling a theater or piercing the din of a dive bar. It’s a tenor timbre a first-time listener once aptly described as “butterscotch,” all rich and velveteen, bold, singular.

Fay’s been writing and recording her own music for as long as she's had a story to tell. She's lived more than her share of life: She's loved and lost, voraciously pursued higher education, questioned her faith, walked the line between her upbringing and her Cherokee roots, and figured out how to process and express all that through her art. She’s traveled. She’s come back home. She’s left again.

All of this is evident when she sings. Fay seems at her most comfortable when her own voice carries her story and moves it forward. Her candid lyrics reflect with a measured sorrow; they know when to say thank you, goodbye, or nothing at all. Her melodies make space for others, including an extensive collective of trusted musical collaborators from her hometown, but she will hold onto a word here and suddenly cut one off there, whenever the time is right.

When Kalyn Fay sings, you’ll hear her confessions and acceptance, vulnerability, hard-fought lessons, and measured determination. The narrative, the life lived, is hers; the warmth of her voice entrusts her story to those who will listen.

Carter Sampson is an Oklahoma born and raised, award winning singer songwriter. She tours nationally and internationally playing both solo and with her trio & band. Sampson won 1st place in the Chris Austin Song Contest at Merlefest and was a top 5 finalist in the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Contest. Sampson has released five studio albums including her newest release LUCKY recorded with Jason Scott in Moore, OK. Sampson’s 2016 release Wilder Side received international attention and was No. 3 on the Euro Americana year end chart for 2016. She is the founder and director of The Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls OKC, a nonprofit volunteer run organization that empowers girls through music education. Carter Sampson’s band includes Kyle Reid (pedal steel & guitar), Mike Satawake (lead guitar) Luke Mullinex (bass) Jack Waters (drums).

In 2016 he relocated to Easley, South Carolina where he worked as the production and laboratory manager at the mushroom farm and research center known as Mushroom Mountain, owned by author Tradd Cotter. There he was able to work with and learn from leading mycologists to find innovative uses for fungi and all of their unique abilities.

His focus now is on The Oklahoma Mushroom Company, a mushroom farm and supplies company focused on teaching and providing cultivation materials to the local community.

The family works together to raise, preserve, and eat food produced by thenselves. They produce one hundred percent of their own grass fed dairy and finished meats, ninety percent of their own veggies, and a small amount of fresh fruits from their own organic permaculture orchard.
