Photos: Blackwatch Studios hosts Norman concert series
Norman recording destination Blackwatch Studios invited local acts The Boom Bang and The Pretty Black Chains to play alongside Texas band The Burning Hotels. It’s definitely not the usual concert experience at The Deli, which is known for its local blues and country acts.
Regradless, it’s good to see Norman embracing Blackwatch which is becoming one of the most consistent music tastemakers in the state.
