Time Machine kicks off Beats & Bites as gates open at 6 p.m. Riverwind’s west parking lot transforms into the Beats & Bites festival grounds with a performance stage, food trucks and merchandise vendors from around Oklahoma. “Beats & Bites is a great, family-friendly event that our staff and community look forward to every year,” said Justin Yahola, Riverwind’s general manager. “The support this community has shown the event over the last three summers is really encouraging. We look forward to continuing that momentum as we go into our first Beats & Bites of the year on 12 May.” Jason Boland & the Stragglers came together in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and have been commanding stages with their red dirt sound for the past 20 years.
