Play it Loud is an amazing and unique video series from the masterminds at Outsiders Productions and Grand Hotel Casino and Resort. They interview local artists about their music and their philosophies of life, and then they get all the artists together for a show benefiting a specific charity.
The past two seasons have been absolutely incredible, and now they’ve announced their features for Season 3! The Imaginaries, Samantha Crain, Jabee, and Mike McClure will all be gracing Play it Loud with their music and their stories, and we couldn’t be more pumped for it all.
Play it Loud is sentimental, existential, and an absolute blast, and it’s a huge deal for Oklahoma music. With the most recent season, KALO, Hosty, Lauren Nicole Claire, and Travis Linville all chatted with host Adam Hampton, sharing personal stories, and walking the audience through their histories.
The project is the brainchild of Chad Mathews, marketing director for Grand Casino. He noticed there was something exciting happening in Oklahoma music and wanted to be involved, so he called up his friend, Hampton, and started this series showcasing Oklahoma music.
Mathews said he wanted the project to be like Anthony Bourdain meets Austin City Limits, and that’s exactly what he made.
