Dream Out Loud - Enid, OK
​
A tribute to the late musical genius, Michael Hedges

Stride Bank Center

302 S Grand, Enid, OK 73701
Across the street from David Allen Memorial Ballpark

Enid has a strong music legacy. With this project, we celebrate Michael Hedges (1953-1997), a Grammy-winning guitar legend who grew up in Enid and whose inventive alternate tuning and percussive techniques blew the minds of many musical greats.

Michael’s brother and son, Brendan Hedges and Mischa Hedges, are filming a world-class feature documentary about Michael’s life and music. Brendan suggested Michael’s guitar named Darth for this project - a black, 1913, 11-string Knutsen Harp Guitar.

Michael has been described as “a once-in-a-generation force that would revolutionize the acoustic guitar.” I am excited to introduce residents and visitors to his incredible talent and be an inspiration to dream out loud like Michael did.

Coming soon! These are renderings of what it will look like!

THANK YOU to...

City of Enid and the
