Edmond Life and Leisure - July 17, 2025
Heard on Hurd party set for Saturday
Summer is heating up, and so is downtown Edmond! Join us Saturday, July 19, from 6 to 10 p.m. for Citizens Bank of Edmond’s Heard on Hurd, Edmond’s premier street festival featuring Oklahoma's best music, food, and makers. This month’s event will feature an eclectic and electric music lineup headlined by Oklahoma City’s own rising art-punk band, Stepmom.
Stepmom fuses dreamy harmonies, ambient cello, synth textures, and raw guitar riffs into a uniquely emotive sound. Described as “art-punk
with purpose,” their gripping performances reflect the deep yearning of a generation seeking truth and meaning in a chaotic world. With recent buzz from NPR Live Sessions and powerful performances at Profitopia, Stepmom is quickly carving a space in the national indie scene—and they’re ready to shake the stage in Edmond.
Joining the stage with tropical flair is Laura Leighe, an Oklahoma “mer-mom” with a California soul. Known for her island-pop fusion of reggae, reggaeton, and Christian R&B, Laura has been featured on ESPN and TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?. Her infectious energy and summer anthem “Thunder” is quickly becoming a fan favorite across NBA playlists. Laura’s performance will be a splash of sunshine in the heart of downtown.
Opening the night is singer-songwriter Brandon Laib, a beloved local with nearly 25 years of performing in the OKC metro. His honest lyrics and self-deprecating humor make for an intimate and refreshing set. His latest release, Love Songs for Frances, is sure to charm longtime fans and new listeners alike.
As always, Heard on Hurd will feature dozens of local food trucks, retail vendors, and activities for the whole family. Whether you come for the music, the bites, or the community vibes, you’ll leave with a full heart and maybe even a few new favorite artists. Join us downtown. Come for the music—stay for the community. To find out more about the event, follow Heard on Hurd on Facebook, Instagram and the website at mycitizens.bank/heard-on-hurd.
