Garth Brooks may have left town, but from rocking Red Dirt music to live theater, museums to art classes, Stillwater’s still got plenty on tap to feed both highbrow tastes and those who favor ”low places.”

Stillwater’s thriving arts and cultural scene ensures plenty to do after hours and on the weekends. Everything from the legendary Town and Gown Theatre, which has been putting on plays and musicals for almost 60 years, to major events that include the Stillwater Blues Festival and the Arts & Heritage Festival, are strong draws for the entire region.
From live theater to multimedia arts classes, Stillwater’s got
the arts covered.

Red Dirt MusicNashville has country music, Memphis has the blues and Detroit has Motown, but Stillwater is known as the home of Red Dirt music, a genre as varied as the people who try to define it. The bands that have sprung from Stillwater’s music scene over the years start with the pioneers – Bob Childers, Red Dirt Rangers, Medicine Show – and include recent chart-toppers like the All-American Rejects. But if there’s one musician Stillwater can truly hang its hat on, it’s Garth Brooks.
“ Red Dirt music has more of a focus on songwriting with an outlaw-country sound behind it.” – Jared Cranke, publisher of Stillwater Scene magazine
