Ryan Bingham brings The Texas Gentlemen, and a new record, to The Criterion on Sunday

The Still Gettin' Away With It Tour reaches Oklahoma City on Nov. 1, with the band from They Call Us the Lucky Ones on the bill beside him.

A Sunday show in Oklahoma City is a tough sell. Monday is right there, the week hasn't started yet and the couch is comfortable. Ryan Bingham is making a good case for going out anyway: on Sunday, Nov. 1, he brings The Texas Gentlemen to The Criterion on the Still Gettin' Away With It Tour. Doors are at 7 p.m.

Who's on the bill matters. The Texas Gentlemen aren't just the opening act. They're the band on Bingham's new album, *They Call Us the Lucky Ones*, which came out in May. Press coverage of the release calls it his seventh studio album and his first full-length in about seven years. Bingham and the band previewed it with "Twist the Knife," which came out with the first tour announcement. If you want to know what Sunday will sound like, start with that song.

The tour has been going since spring. The first listed date was Pittsburgh's Stage AE in late May. In July, Bingham and the Gentlemen extended the run into the fall and added rooms like Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Chicago's Riviera Theatre. Chicago kicked off this stretch through the middle of the country on Oct. 20. After that came Milwaukee, Minneapolis–St. Paul, Des Moines, Omaha, and Wichita on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Oklahoma City comes after all of that, so the band should show up well warmed up and tight.

The Texas Gentlemen aren't just the opening act. They're the band on the new record.

The Criterion is a good fit for this tour. It holds about 3,500 people, which is enough room for a full band to stretch out on a Sunday night. The venue sits at 500 E. Sheridan Ave. According to the venue, tickets are sold through Prekindle and at the box office once doors open. Buy through those two outlets and you won't overpay a reseller.

A tour this long tends to settle into a rhythm by its final stretch. Songs from the new album have had months of road testing now, and the Gentlemen have spent the whole run playing behind the songs they cut with Bingham in the studio. For anyone who has followed Bingham for years, this is the chance to hear the new material played by the band that recorded it, without having to drive to Wichita or Dallas.

A practical note: it's a Sunday, so plan for the doors-at-7 schedule and an earlier finish than a Saturday show. Eat downtown first, get there in time for the Gentlemen's opening set, and treat Monday as a problem for later.

Bingham has spent most of this year somewhere other than Oklahoma. For one night he's here, with the band that made the record.
