Wanda Jackson to play CD release show Jan. 28 at ACM@UCO Performance Lab
The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma will kick off the 2011 spring semester Jan. 28 when Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson comes to the Performance Lab, 323 E Sheridan in Bricktown, for a free, release-week concert celebrating her new album, “The Party Ain’t Over.”
Produced by Jack White, “The Party Ain’t Over” drops Jan. 25, one week from today, on Nonesuch Records and White’s Third Man Records.
Jackson, who was born in Maud and lives in Oklahoma City, shared the bill at the Grand Ole Opry last weekend with fellow Oklahoma native Vince Gill and will play release shows next weekend in New York and Los Angeles. In February, the First Lady of Rock ‘n’ Roll, 73, will embark on a tour of Europe.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer also will play “The Late Show with David Letterman” Thursday night and “Conan” Jan. 25 with Jack White and Third Man House Band.
Green Corn Revival, the Weatherford band whose debut album “Say Your a Sinner” made my list of top albums of 2010, will open for and back Jackson during the Jan. 28 ACM@UCO show.
Last year, the ACM@UCO hosted master classes and exclusive mentoring sessions with top artists, including Jackson Browne, the Mountain Goats and Local Natives. Many of the artists also performed concerts at the school’s brand new music venue, The Performance Lab, which offers students hands-on experience in the world of live music booking, promotion, and production. Additionally, this semester’s Industry Link seminar connected students with key industry figures, including high-profile managers and staff from Pitchfork, Sesac, and more.
Since its creation, The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma has generated worldwide buzz with its innovative, groundbreaking approach to music education – the first of its kind in the United States. The school, which grants a two-year associate’s degree in music performance and production, is the U.S. branch of Britain’s groundbreaking Academy of Contemporary Music, based in Guildford, England.
