D.C. Minner has brought national attention to Oklahoma's legendary blues music culture.
This year festival will again bring in 200 performers from across Oklahoma and the nation. Held in the small Historic Rentiesville, the childhood home of famed blues guitarist D.C. Minner, who founded the OBHOF in 2004 with his wife, Selby, -the whole thing is a great reunion. Once inside the gates 'there are no strangers, only friends waiting to be made" ..music can do that...
This year's blues festival will keep his 'world's largest back yard party' rolling!
His grandma Lura raised D.C. here and ran a corn whiskey house from '36 to '68. D. toured 30 years, playing bass behind Freddie King, Chuck Berry BO Diddley, OV Wright and many more, later fronting his own group on guitar w wife/bassist Selby. They started the Festival in 1991, the OBHOF in 2004, have had a Sunday JAM Session here since 2009. There is a Museum here now More on D.C. click below
