Parker Millsap knew he was home.
In a packed Sooner Theatre, the native Okie songwriter performed to a full house. His friends and family were peppered throughout the sold-out crowd. How could I tell?
One of Millsap’s cousins requested a song and shouted a thank you from the back of the venue. The night also was full of tight performances and a rowdy room. Well, as rowdy as a seated venue can get.
Roughly 450 patrons celebrated Millsap’s return as he weaved through his entire discography and dusted off a couple rarities for familial fans. The Nashville-based performer stuck around all weekend and surprised Norman with a follow-up performance at The Deli. That’s where Millsap cut his teeth with a lengthy residence before catching national attention with his stellar record, “The Very Last Day,” and relocating to Music City.

Concert opener Travis Linville delivered a full-band performance that paired well with Millsap’s fiddle-centric four piece. Both bands were able to fill up a lot of space and made it look effortless. Millsap’s quartet is so tight and energetic that I nearly forgot his record’s title track is about the apocalypse.
Come back home any time, Millsap.
