Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA. Made famous world wide by Merle Hagggard's song "Proud to be an Okie from Muskogee". We're Muskogee's Wild Card Band! We play rock, blues, country, funk, dance tunes from the 50's through the 80's, and originals. What started as a last minute wedding reception group has become a band that has achieved a certain notoriety for playing unusual choices for cover tunes. Since 1997, Wild Card has been a winner of a battle of the bands contest (the prize was an open invitation to perform at the "Dusk Til Dawn Blues Festival" at Rentiesville, OK), voted "Best Local Area Band" by the Muskogee Daily Phoenix Annual Readers' Poll, and nominated "Best Oklahoma Band" by readers of a regional publication, The Current Entertainment and News Source. Navigate your way through our site and see upcoming performance dates on the calendar. If you would like to book us for any of your events, please contact us through this website, or you may phone Eddie in Muskogee at (918) 869-8601 or Johnny in Tulsa at (918) 619-3761.
One of the things we do each year is perform at no charge for fundraisers. Each of the three of us gets to pick one "free" gig to perform for. Eddie's choice was a performance to be auctioned at a school fundraiser. The winning bid has us traveling to a long time favorite area around Tenkiller Lake for a performance near Cookson Landing.
The Gardens at La Fortune Park Summer Concert Series is promoted by The La Fortune Park Community Center. A two hour show, the public is invited to attend and bring a picnic basket or just a blanket. Fun for the whole family!
