RED DIRT RANGERS
The Rangers are returning to the studio in June of 2023 to work on a new album and are continuing to play shows and festivals around the state of Oklahoma, regionally and nationally.  You can catch them at their upcoming weekly residency at Mercury Lounge in Tulsa, Oklahoma as well as festivals and events throughout Green Country this year.

Now celebrating their 35th year, the Red Dirt Rangers are one of the hottest live bands around still playing more than 100 dates a year around the country and with some of the finest musicians from around the world sitting in. 

It all began in a two-story, five- bedroom, funky old place called The Farm.

Although the farmhouse burned down in 2003, it’s place in music history is defined. “Bands and artists would keep on coming in, every weekend, and whoever was playing music at the time, we’d just chime in,” recalls Ranger lead guitarist- vocalist Ben Han, whose journey to the Farm began in far-away Borneo. “Living-room jams became jams for beers, and then it was, ‘Hey, we’ve got something going on.’ We just proceeded with what we already had, called a couple of friends, and the next thing you know, we’re pickin’ and grinning.”

Later, acts such as Mike McClure, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jason Boland and the Stragglers, Cody Canada, Monica Taylor, Stoney LaRue, Brandon Jenkins and more learned their craft jamming with the Rangers, Skinner, Childers and whomever happened to be staying out at the Farm that night. The Farm just made everybody better and that is reflected in the hundreds of hours of music that has evolved from the Red Dirt scene.
