On Saturday, March 21, at 7 p.m., Tulsa-based cabaret star Janet Rutland and author-broadcaster John Wooley return to the Will Rogers Memorial Museum with an all-new cabaret production: “Around the Hollywood Campfire.” 

This musical revue explores the rich legacy of Western film and television music, with selections ranging from Gene Autry and The Sons of the Pioneers to sophisticated favorites by Cole Porter and Johnny Mercer. The setlist is full of surprises—including a beautiful top 20 hit by the New Christy Minstrels—and pays tribute to the unforgettable soundtracks of television Westerns from the 1950s through the 1970s.

With Janet in fine voice and John’s signature storytelling, the show combines nostalgia, warmth, and deep musicality.

They’re joined by two of Oklahoma’s finest musicians. Scott McQuade returns on piano, bringing his signature sensitivity and skill to the arrangements. Joining him is Shelby Eicher, a renowned fiddler and mandolinist best known for his 15-year tenure alongside Roy Clark and his current leadership of the Tulsa Playboys. Together, they add depth, warmth, and expert musicianship to the show’s Western-inspired sound.

Tickets are $10 for Museum members, and $20 for nonmembers.
