On August 12, tickets go on sale for the 3^rd annual Rock N’ Folk N’ Chili Cook-Off held at the historic Cain’s Ballroom on November 12. Tulsa-based nonprofit and record label, Horton Records, will be hosting the event.

This event will feature live music from Ian Moore & The Lossy Coils, Paul Benjaman Band, Wink Burcham, Dustin Pittsley Band, Jesse Aycock, Henna Roso, Lauren Barth, Kalyn Fay, and special guests yet to be named. In addition to an evening of some great local music, admission includes all-you-can-eat chili made by local restaurants. For those with dietary restrictions, there will even be vegetarian and gluten-free options. The audience’s votes will determine who wins the cook off!

Proceeds from the Rock N’ Folk N’ Chili Cook-Off will support local musicians by offering touring support, workshops, and new recordings through Horton Records. Non-perishable food and coat donations will also be collected for the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma in exchange for free raffle entries. Additionally, there will be a silent auction, door prizes, and live artwork.

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door, and kids 12-years-old and younger get in free. Tickets can be purchased at the Cain’s box office or online at www.cainsballroom.com.
