ARCHIVED NEWS:

May 14 2008:
Longtime Tulsa KJ Rick Berry was nice enough to drop us a note, with the following updates
to his schedule:

Rick's now doing Santino's Italian Restaurant on Thursdays - Santino's has invested in their
own karaoke rig (way to go Santino's!) and Rick is helping them out.

He also picked up The Sports Fan Attic in the Farm Shopping Center a few weeks ago, and
says it's a very nice place. He KJs there on Thursdays.

And, starting June 1st, Rick will be at Fishbonz on Sundays.

Rick is a great KJ and we have a lot of fun at his shows - check them out if you get a chance!

Magoo has picked up the Million Dollar Elm Casino in Sand Springs on Thursday nights.
He also does the Million Dollar Elm on Tisdale on Tuesdays, and the Elm in Hominy on every
other Sunday.

We've discovered a new karaoke venue - Scotty's Bar and Grille at 3119 W 61st on Monday
and Wednesday nights from 7-11pm. We haven't paid them a visit yet, but they get high
marks from our friends.

Redneck Kountry has moved their Karaoke Night to Wednesdays, and Fred Anderson has
taken over KJ duties there.

April 29 2008:
It's almost that time again - time for the annual TalentQuest National Karaoke Contest!
Stay tuned here for all the info you'll need to qualify locally for the big annual competition in
Laughlin Nevada. We'll have a special section of the site dedicated to the venues holding
the local competitions as well as full coverage of the regional qualifiers.  

Kenosha Station has expanded their karaoke offerings to both Wednesday and Friday nights.

New listings were added for Dixie Tavern on Wednesday nights, and Bobbisox now has
karaoke on Sunday nights starting at 7pm, for the early crowd.

The SoCo's / Rock'n The Kasbaw KARAOKE CONTEST is still going strong - click HERE for
info and rules.

Is there any interest for listings for vocal coaches/teachers?  If you think this would be of
benefit to you, please LET US KNOW.

We're always looking for reviews - if you visited a karaoke venue recently that you either
LOVED or HATED, I'm sure our readers would love to hear about it. Send us a quick review HERE.

March 20 2008:

NEW CONTEST! Rock'n The Kasbaw Karaoke and SoCo's Sports Bar & Grille bring you
their first annual KARAOKE CONTEST! CLICK HERE for complete info and rules.

We've also updated the Karaoke Calendar with a few new dates.

January 26 2008:
Kenosha Station in Broken Arrow has karaoke again on Friday nights.

NEW CONTEST! The Mayfest Karaoke Contest is being held every Sunday night from Feb 17
through March 16th at the Roadside Pub in Tulsa. Contest runs from 7pm to 9pm.

We just updated the Karaoke Calendar again with the latest - we now have nearly 100 karaoke
nights listed in and around the Tulsa area! TAKE A LOOK!

If you know of a Karaoke show that we don't have listed - please visit our MESSAGE BOARD and
let us know. We'll add it to our list, along with your review.

Speaking of which - SUPER thanks to Yolinda, who gave us updates on several Karaoke nights
that we weren't aware of. THANKS SO MUCH!

Several new reviews posted - there was a pretty concerted effort by the kids at the Roadside
Pub to bombard us with positive reviews this past Friday night, so we thought we'd better give
it another shot. We hopped in the car and headed over! Read our updated review on the 
REVIEWS PAGE.

Speaking of reviews, we've been asked how we review karaoke nights - do we let the KJ know
we're reviewing beforehand? No, we don't. We show up, just like anybody else, usually bringing
a small group of singer friends, and try our darndest to have a good time. We put our heads 
together afterwards and come up with our review. Usually we let the KJ know who we are as
we're leaving for the night. We try to be as unbiased as possible, but if your review doesn't
agree with ours - feel free to post your own review on OUR MESSAGE BOARD. It's FREE and fun!

New Contest in town! From ROCKNTHEKASBAW.COM:

"Rock N The Kasbaw will be hosting a ten week Karaoke Competition @ Rock N M Club each 
Saturday night for ten-weeks. You must be 21 years old to enter this establishment. Regular
Karaoke will commence @ 9:00 pm and the competition will begin @ 10:00 pm. We will only accept
the first 10 contestants that sign in each night. Each nightly winner will receive $50 cash and a 
chance to compete in the finals February 23, 2008 for a chance to win $300 cash! We will be 
waiting at the pole! Bring it!"

The KT.com staff loves the RockN M Club & RockN The Kasbaw Karaoke - should be a good time!

On the schedule page, we've added listings for Trade Winds East (hosted by Sweeney) and
Rooster & Rose Sports Pub (hosted by Jim Simpson). We haven't visited Rooster & Rose yet, but
it gets rave reviews from our friends who visit regularly. Many other karaoke nights have been
posted as well - check em out on our Karaoke Calendar page!

The KT.com staff just returned from a trip to Las Vegas, where we sang at our very favorite
Karaoke club in the world - the Piano Bar at Harrah's on the strip. TJ is a great karaoke host -
very entertaining, and he keeps the show moving quickly along. Sound is great, and the later the
evening gets, the more appreciative and supportive the crowd is. We HIGHLY recommend a visit
the next time you're in Las Vegas - this is MUCH better than the Karaoke club at the Imperial
Palace next door! The Piano Bar at Harrahs, middle of the strip, from 6-9pm every night.

October 21 2007:
The weekly karaoke contest at Million Dollar Elm Casino in Sand Springs is no more - as of right
now, there is no karaoke night at all at the Casino. Stay tuned for updates.

Connie Keck's awesome "Rockn The Kasbaw" has picked up the karaoke host duties at Santino's,
SoCo's, and the Rockin' M - see the karaoke schedule for details!

Goldmine no longer has karaoke, and neither does Kenosha Station in Broken Arrow.

The Osage Million Dollar Elm Casino in Tulsa had added karaoke on Monday and Tuesday nights.

The National Karaoke TalentQuest contest was held last month in Laughlin Nevada - sadly, none
of our local competitors made it through to the final five in their respective categories, but
we're very proud of all our local talent - they all put on great performances for a national
audience!

In website news, we've created a 'reviews' area where we will give reviews of the great (and
not-so-great) karaoke nights we've attended. If you'd like your comments and reviews included,
feel free to send us a short detailed review and we'll post them as well!

July 22 2007:
Mr. Lucky's in Tulsa was the location for the Regional competition for the annual TalentQuest
karaoke contest. The winners were:

Pop Male: Kenneth McDaniel
Country Male: Curt Angel
Pop Female: Rosita Byas
Country Female:

The winners won travel and hotel and entry to the National competition being held in Laughlin,
Nevada during the week of September 24, 2007. Congratulations to all!

July 1 2007:
We understand that the monthly karaoke contest at the Million Dollar Elm Casino in
Sand Springs has turned back into a WEEKLY contest again, and now takes place ONLY
on THURSDAY nights, instead of two nights a week. Previously the contest had qualifiers
on Wednesday and Monday nights, with the finals on the last Wednesday of the month.

With the change in format, the prize money has also changed - $100 in cash prizes will
now be up for grabs each week (reportedly), with the top male and female each getting
$50, second place gets $30, and third pays $20.

WELCOME!
Welcome to KaraokeTulsa.com! On this site, you'll find an up-to-date calendar of all the karaoke
shows in the Northeastern Oklahoma area, along with contact info and maps (when available),
show and KJ reviews, a message board where you can chat with your karaoke-singing friends,
and much more. We'll also be bringing you coverage
of local, regional, and national karaoke contests (like the annual TalentQuest competition) -
where and when to qualify, rules, and contact info for the participating venues in Tulsa,
Owasso, Jenks, Bixby, Broken Arrow, and even into the Oklahoma City area.

Sound good? Great! But....we need YOUR help!

Please send us information on any karaoke shows that we may not have listed, or if something
we've listed is incorrect, we need to know that as well. The KaraokeTulsa staff does get around
and visit most of the shows on our list, but we can't be everywhere.
