Miller","description":"

The Oklahoma Historical Society is thrilled to host the book release for Washita Love Child: The Rise of Indigenous Rock Star Jesse Ed Davis<\/em> (2024) by Douglas K. Miller on the evening of Tuesday, November 12.<\/p>\n

Dr. Miller will discuss his research on Jesse Ed Davis, a Kiowa\/Comanche guitarist who collaborated with music legends such as Bob Dylan, B.B. King, and John Lennon. The book chronicles Davis\u2019s rise from Oklahoma to international fame in the 1960s and 70s, examining his artistic influence and contributions to music history.<\/p>\n

After the discussion, there will be a Q&A, followed by a book signing and a reception featuring live music by Chebon Tiger, a Seminole-Mvskoke musician with personal and cultural ties to Jesse Ed Davis. Tiger will honor Davis\u2019s legacy by performing selections from Davis\u2019s catalog.<\/p>\n

Davis\u2019s iconic Telecaster guitar and Fender Bassman amplifier, which are currently housed at the Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture (OKPOP), will be on display at the event, giving attendees a rare glimpse of the instruments that helped define his sound. The guitar and amp will have a permanent home at OKPOP when it opens in Tulsa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the event begins at 7 p.m. Miller will sign copies of Washita Love Child<\/em>, which will be available for $35. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested at okhistory.org\/signing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
