A new concert series believed to be the first of its kind is launching next week on downtown Oklahoma City s Bricktown Canal.
Tickets are on sale today for the Showboat Concert Series, which will offer live concerts by local musicians on one of the Bricktown Water Taxis Thursday nights through the end of August.
Starting next week with OKC singer-songwriter Carter Sampson, the series will offer 7, 8 and 9 p.m. sets on Thursday nights. Concertgoers will check in at the Bricktown Brewery, and if they arrive 30 to 45 minutes before showtime, they will be entitled to two complimentary beers before the show. Ticketholders also can buy half-priced growlers (or jugs) of beer to take along with them for their floating concert.
