Riley Jantzen to Perform at Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center for “Museum After Dark: Village Sounds”
ENID, Okla. – On Friday, March 29, from 7-9 p.m., Oklahoma-based singer-songwriter Riley Jantzen will perform an intimate acoustic set 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.
Riley Jantzen is a local songwriter who lives in Enid. Originally from southeast of Okeene, Riley discovered that he viewed the world differently from his peers as he grew up. Coming from a small town that prided itself on football and country music, he decided to rebel and dive into the skateboard and punk rock culture.
He spent nearly ten years as the songwriter and frontman of Mayola, an Indie rock band, and traveled the country playing at various music festivals and venues, including Cain’s Ball Room. Riley has been twice recognized as “Enid’s Best Musician.” In contrast with his early rebellious years, today, Riley’s music centers on exploring his past, present, and current state of the world.
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.
