Jason Isbell will perform at the first Mother Road Revival Weekend in September at the BOK Center.

The four-day festival — Sept. 8-11 — also will feature Shakey Graves and Lucero at the BOK Center show, film screenings and discussions on Route 66 and Woody Guthrie and free concerts at Guthrie Green.

“This is what we hope will be the beginning of an annual event,” said Jeff Nickler, general manager of SMG Tulsa, which manages the BOK Center. “It celebrates two things that have deep roots in Tulsa: folk music and Route 66.”

Tickets for the Isbell show start at $35 plus fees and go on sale Friday at bokcenter.com, the Arby’s Box office at the corner of Third Street and Frisco Avenue or by calling 866-7-BOKCTR.

The event was spurred by recent announcements by the Woody Guthrie Center and the George Kaiser Family Foundation that have validated Tulsa as a destination for Americana, according to a release by the venue. That includes the announcement earlier this year that the Bob Dylan Archive would make its home in Tulsa thanks to a partnership between the University of Tulsa and the George Kaiser Family Foundation.
