Fowler VW Announces its Third Annual Free Holiday Music Collection on Vinyl and by Download

Fowler VW and Blackwatch Studios release free, indie holiday album; announce free concert featuring Stardeath and the White Dwarfs, Graham Colton, Hosty Duo and more.

NORMAN, OKLA. (November 28, 2012)—Fowler Volkswagen and Blackwatch Studios have teamed up for a second year to offer a holiday gift to indie music lovers — a free album filled with original holiday music from local musicians and a free holiday concert to follow.

Released digitally today, A Blackwatch Christmas Vol. 2, Fowler VW’s third annual Christmas album, features local artists, and lays a solid foundation to the team’s claim of Oklahoma as the Indie Christmas Music Capital of the World. The vinyl version will be available in early December.

“This is our third Christmas album made up of local musicians, and our second year working with Blackwatch Studios,” explained Jonathan Fowler, General Manager, Fowler VW. “We’re excited to see acts from our past projects continuing the Christmas spirit on newer Christmas collections. If we keep this momentum, I truly feel that Oklahoma can become the indie Christmas music capital of the world.” In addition to Fowler VW duties, Jonathan Fowler is also past chairman of the Norman Music Festival, past president of Norman Arts Council and serves on the Norman Public Arts Board.

The album is available for free download online at fowlervwchristmas.com. In addition, 1,000 free vinyl copies will be available in early December at Fowler Volkswagen of Norman and at Guestroom Records in Oklahoma City, on Western and at Bricktown, and at its Norman location. Free copies will also be available at Fowler VW’s free annual holiday concert, featuring bands that contributed songs to A Blackwatch Christmas Vol. 2, at 8 p.m., Friday, Dec. 14, in downtown Norman behind STASH, 412 E.

Beary England makes debut at Weather Fest

Gary England may have been a no-show but, thanks to Fowler VW, BEARY England kept the crowds entertained at the National Weather Festival in Norman on Saturday. Our favorite weather bear hula hooped and sidewalk chalked the day away right alongside real live storm chasers and more than 5,000 attendees. Beary's forecast for Oklahoma? Clear and sunny skies — perfect weather for car shopping at Fowler VW!

Bigfoot expected to appear at Plaza Fest!

We’ve been studying up on our Bigfoot Observers Field Manual and it appears the conditions are ripe for a Bigfoot sighting at Plaza Fest on September 29.

According to the experts, a surefire way to attract the mythical beast is through awesome art, amazing music and delicious food trucks.

But to absolutely, positively ensure Bigfoot’s appearance at the Plaza Fest, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Stop by the Fowler VW booth, pick up some free treats and give us your best Bigfoot howl. You'll be entered to win some pretty cool stuff like:

• $50 Backwoods gift card
