Tauren Wells and Halloween weekend

The one thing

Tauren Wells plays Tulsa Theater on Thursday, October 29 at 7 pm. It is a stop on the Air1 Worship Now Tour, and the bill runs deep, with Seph Schlueter, Gateway Worship, Roosevelt Stewart and Sarai Rivera on the same night.

Tulsa Theater is a fine room for this kind of show. The old Brady is big enough for a full band and a whole room singing along, and small enough that the back rows still feel close.

Bring the whole family. Downtown is busy Thursday with the Oilers next door at the BOK Center, so give yourself a few extra minutes to park.
