sponsored program Whether you enjoy rock, pop, hiphop, country, electronic or Americana music, ACM@UCO Metro Music Fest has something for everyone to enjoy! Headliner Dan Deacon, best known for his interactive live shows that often involve audience members, takes the AT&T Main Stage at 10:45 p.m. The Los Angeles Times has called Deacon's shows both "frenzied and inspiring." Deacon has opened for well-known artists like Arcade Fire, Miley Cyrus and Deerhunter. In addition to live performances, he has garnered success as a recording artist, releasing eight solo albums including his most recent, Gliss Riffer, in 2015. Parker Millsap, a singer-songwriter and native of Purcell, is best known for a rootsy sound that blends elements of blues, country and folk. Millsap was named one of the Americana Music Association's Emerging Artists of the Year in 2014 following the release of his self-titled album. Millsap released his latest album, The Very Last Day, on March 25. Millsap has opened for numerous artists including Patty Griffin, Old Crow Medicine Show, Shovels & Rope and Lake Street Drive.
Joining headliners Dan Deacon and Parker Millsap is Austin-based indie pop band Wild Child, who are known for their high-spirited live shows. They are set to perform at the AT&T Main Stage and will participate in a panel discussion at the ACM@UCO Songwriting Room at 2:00 p.m. ACM@UCO's Metro Music Fest 2016 will also feature notable Oklahoma artists as headliners throughout the festival. Musicians include Colourmusic, Travis Linville, Josh Sallee, Camille Harp, Tallows, Chase Kerby, Mike Hosty, The KFOR Channel 4 Band, Adam & Kizzie, Helen Kelter Skelter, Bowlsey, Fiawna Forté and Sex Snobs. “This year’s ACM@UCO Metro Music Fest headliners go from one end of the spectrum to the other. Dan Deacon is at the forefront of the indie EDM movement, and Parker Millsap is leading the charge of Okies in the modern Americana movement,” said Scott Booker, CEO and executive director of the ACM@UCO. “I feel that these artists, along with our other headlining acts, represent the diversity of musical tastes and talents of the ACM@UCO
students. They will be great artists for our students to perform with and learn from.” In addition to the music performances, the academy will host a series of educational panels and demonstrations from noon to 3 p.m. in the ACM@UCO Songwriting Room, located on the lobby level of the ACM@UCO facility at 25 S. Oklahoma Ave. in Bricktown. Panel and demo topics include “Ableton Live: A Demo” presented by Art Moves with the Oklahoma Arts Council at noon; “Jobs in Film and Music: How to get one in Oklahoma” with deadCENTER Film Festival artistic director Lance McDaniel at 1 p.m.; and “A Conversation with Wild Child” hosted by Booker at 2 p.m. The festival also will feature a silent auction in the ACM@UCO lounge located on the lobby level of the facility. Festival attendees can bid on used PA systems, drum kits, recording equipment and Apple computers, among other items. The auction will take place from noon to 6 p.m., with all proceeds

benefitting the ACM@UCO. The festival also will include the Oklahoma Gazette 2016 Music Awards, presented at 8 p.m. at the PLOW Outdoor Stage located at 29 E. Reno Ave. Nominees are comprised of varying Oklahoma musicians, many of whom are graduates from and current students at the ACM@UCO. Launched six years ago, the fullday festival succeeds with help from school-tied music acts, tech crews, sound engineers, business majors, management and even University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) public relations and marketing students. This is Oklahoma music like many haven’t heard before, as the school spotlights its unique program and the state’s music industry. Many artists will perform in venues they’re not usually associated with in ways not normally linked to their respective genres.
