Experience a little of Tulsa's music history at Cain's Ballroom (423 N. Main St.). Built in 1924 as a garage, it was later a dance hall and academy until 1935, when Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys popularized a style of music here known as Western Swing. It's now a popular concert venue for country, rock and other genres. The wide-open ballroom offers limited seating, a full bar and barbecue during most concerts. For a more intimate live music experience, head to the Duet Jazz Club (108 N. Detroit Ave.) in the Arts District, featuring performances Wednesday through Saturday and a restaurant serving modern American cuisine. Soundpony (409 N. Main St.) is a live music venue featuring indie bands, DJs, hip-hop, jazz and punk soul music, along with trivia nights and fashion shows.
