Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Onstage company

Documented collaborators

Hosty, born Michael Hosty in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, is a celebrated Oklahoma-based performer renowned for his dynamic one-man-band setup: he drums with his feet while singing and playing guitar. Since moving to Oklahoma in 1990, Hosty has become a staple of the region's blues, rock, and Americana scenes, blending Red Dirt textures with country, folk, and a dash of humor. Often described as a  Groucho Marx with a guitar, Hosty brings sharp storytelling, infectious grooves, and a relatable, no-fuss approach to live music.
