Dalalapalooza Music Festival

Six Mile Band is an Oklahoma crowd‑pleaser packed with good vibes, tight musicianship, and a rootsy mix of rock, country, and folk. Made up mostly of Cherokee Nation citizens, the band brings local heart, heritage, and a whole lot of personality to every stage. They perform a handful of original songs, but their specialty is breathing new life into the classic cover tunes everyone loves — the kind that get people dancing, singing along, and having a great time. The band musicians include Larry Colburn (guitar & vocals), Paul Colburn (guitar & vocals), David Quinton (drums & vocals), Reece Cookson (bass & vocals) and John Fite (keyboards).

Together, they deliver a lively, feel‑good show with plenty of Oklahoma flavor and a big dose of fun. If your event needs great energy, familiar hits, and a band that knows how to keep a crowd smiling, Six Mile Band has you covered.

Hailing from different regions of Oklahoma, Monica, the Cimarron River Valley in Perkins, Oklahoma, and Travis from Northeastern “green country” Oklahoma. Both artists bring their own unique musical influences and performance traditions. Monica grew up with Southern Gospel and Bluegrass as her primary influences. From an early age, Taylor sought out the performers and songwriters she was hearing on the airwaves and recorded music. Travis and Monica were married in the Spring of 2021 with their wedding being a traditional Cherokee ceremony. Since that time the two have forged a musical union to bridge their diverse styles and talents. Blending blues forms with traditional bluegrass and folk music, the duo has come to develop a unique sound that was born in the desire to share the gift of live music and the richness of American song.

The couple have recorded Monica’s new solo album “Train, Rivers, and Trails’ and a compilation of 50 plus songs known as the “A Red Dirt Ramble”, a multi-volume compilation highlighting the formative years (mid 80’s to late 90’s) of the Red Dirt movement, a scene that is now recognized throughout the United States as a legitimate regional music form that is promoted all over the world.

Agalisiga “Chuj” Mackey is a Cherokee guitarist/musician and singer-songwriter from the Cherokee Nation in Northeast Oklahoma. Chuj spent the early years of his life growing up on a creek bank in the small traditional Cherokee community of Kenwood. Chuj then moved to Tahlequah, the Cherokee Nation capital, to become a language learner at the Cherokee Immersion Charter School. Chuj grew up participating in traditional ceremonies, ceremonial songs being the foundation of his voice which he carries with him as he creates more contemporary music. Chuj writes and sings original country-folk and blues music in the Cherokee language. Cherokee life and culture also inform his music as he sings about both the struggles and joys of growing up in a Cherokee community.

Additionally, he has performed at various events including the Cherokee National Holiday, the grand opening of the Bob Dylan Center, and the Anvdvnelisgi album concert in Cherokee, North Carolina. His goal is to perpetuate the Cherokee language and culture.
