ENTERTAINMENT BUZZ BUZZWORTHY: The air is alive On target TULSA, Okla. – The Hunt Club on the corner of Main & Cameron in downtown Tulsa is a bullseye for those seeking relaxed atmosphere and stellar service in the midst of a neighborhood that is drifting away from such cherished concepts. Some must-see shows hitting The Hunt Club this May include BC & The Big Rig on Saturday, May 6. Brandon Clark’s band is better than ever and they’ve been touring frequently over the last couple years, yet don’t hesitate to call Hunt Club home once a month. Craig Cook & the Marauders take over Hunt Club on Friday, May 12. This Kansas City-based country band will appeal to fans of The Great Divide and Zac Brown Band with their musical intuition and polished arrangements. Cook’s pretty cunning with the lyrics, too. Smunty Voje offers something a bit different on Saturday, May 20. According to the band’s website, the Voje had an interesting entrance into this world: “There is a legend that surrounds the uprising of the band itself with the story of a pirate who was born underwater from a drowning prostitute.” Sounds like pure rock ‘n roll fun to me!
