About this concert
Were playing a prison with other artists - its a great program aimed at rehabilitation and resources upon reentry.
Here at Joseph Harp Correctional Center, we have a music program that is utilized to better help offenders in having a positive creative outlet, and aid in rehabilitation. The program is designed to encourage offenders to use music as a possible career upon release (for we all know that the Entertainment Industry is “felony friendly”). For those that excel in playing, theory, and technology such as audio engineering and editing, this is a great outlet to help keep them focused and active in positive programs.
The JHCC Band Program is Hosting its 5th Annual Cultural Music Festival (known as the JHCC Muzik Fest) this year on May 16th- 18th 2025 (Friday thru Sunday) here at the facility for the offenders and staff. It will expressively serve as an educational tool for the participating students in the Band Program Audio Engineering Classes, by providing them an opportunity to work on an event that has “real-life” demands. Having bands and artists such as yours performing will be, and has been of enormous benefit to our students and all inmates. This year, we are also putting a spotlight on Mental Health awareness. Our facility is the main mental health unit in Oklahoma’s DOC system, and the men on that unit respond very well to this program. We are also the only facility that houses a “Youthful Offender Unit” (inmates under 18).

Groucho Biography
ABOUT GROUCHO:
Groucho is Dustin Howard, Royce Buckmaster, and Layne Farmen. Groucho takes pride in genre blending, and envelope pushing in creating their music. Hoping to reinvigorate a modern rock sound, with hints of the past and a nod to the future. With gripping live performances and versatile skill-sets, the three piece band approach the possible limitations of working in a small ensemble as an opportunity to stretch 90s rock, alternative indie rock, and guitar-heavy music into psychedelic/prog and post-rock atmospheres. They arent afraid to take their music in many directions.
Groucho’s lyrics tackle topics ranging from addiction and recovery to aliens and spirituality, musing and even laughing at the human condition at times. Jay Ramone from Katt 100.5 recently said on his podcast “There is a group out of Tulsa called GROUCHO that is amazing, and they are doing really really cool stuff.” Stereo Stickman recently wrote “Musically Groucho set the vibe well, this less crisp and more ethereal approach feeling both arena-ready and perfectly suited to the late-night escapism or the long commute. The whole thing rains down and envelops the listener, increasingly so as the track[s] and lyrical depth gather momentum..”
After last year's regional shows and midwest tour dates, they released music in two waves, an EP “Beware the Bearers of False Gifts and Their Broken Promises” featuring their epic single, “Blood in the Water” and a standalone single and cover of INXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart.” Each release was met with a music video and concept. Groucho received over 200k plays last year on combined platforms, with 20k listeners in 90+ countries, notably the US, Brazil and Europe.
