The name Red Dirt comes from the soil in Oklahoma. It is an outstanding feature of the region and comes from the large amounts of iron oxide found in the soil, which give it the classic red tint. Although Stillwater is considered to be the "Nashville" of Red Dirt music, Red Dirt artists now live coast to coast.
Critics say that Red Dirt can best be likened to the indie genre of rock 'n' roll as there is no definitive sound that can be attributed to all the bands in the movement.[citation needed] Most Red Dirt artists would be classified by the music industry as Americana, folk, or alt-country, though the range of sounds in the Red Dirt spectrum goes beyond these genres. It has been described as a mix of folk, rock, country, bluegrass, blues, western swing, and honky tonk, with even a few Mexican influences.
Large Red Dirt music festivals appear to be growing in popularity. Festivals such as FarmFest, Woodystock, Calffry, Shrinefest, and more have had well over 7000 music fans in attendance. In 2007, Cross Canadian Ragweed's Red Dirt Round Up in Fort Worth, TX had 15,000 in attendance. In Oklahoma, the artists can be found at venues such as the Blue Door, Cain's Ballroom, Copper Penny, the Tumbleweed, Woody's, Wormy Dog, and Wallstreet.
