Gus Burns to Perform at Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center for “Museum After Dark: Village Sounds”
ENID, Okla. – On Friday, August 9, from 7-9 p.m., singer-songwriter Gus Burns will perform in the Village Church at the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center in Enid. His performance is part of the “Museum After Dark: Village Sounds” series in the museum’s Humphrey Heritage Village. The concert is included with regular paid admission.
Gus Burns is a singer-songwriter from Caldwell, Kansas. He has cut his teeth from Kansas City to Texas but has most recently made a name for himself in the Oklahoma music scene. His musical style is one of honest lyrics that come from the heart and relate to his audience, blended with a honky-tonk attitude cultivated from years of playing beer joints and dive bars.
With roots in Red Dirt and traditional country, Burns is bringing back the classic Americana sound that music fans have been missing and are captivated by. He released his self-titled EP in late 2021. Burns is a hard-living troubadour, and his songs reflect stories of good times, heartbreak and love lost.
The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center will be open to the public from 10 a.m.-9 p.m. during the event. For more information about the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, please visit csrhc.org or call 580-237-1907.
