Ryan LaCroix is the operations manager at KOSU Radio and co-hosts the weekly radio program The Oklahoma Rock Show. He also serves as contributing editor for Oklahoma Today magazine and has written essays on Oklahoma music for two Oklahoma Historical Society books. He started the online music hub OklahomaRock.com in 2003 and lives in Blanchard with his wife and son. Ryan says, “It’s hard to not be excited about Oklahoma music. Broncho, Parker Millsap, John Fullbright, Samantha Crain, JD McPherson, John Moreland—they’re all getting national and international attention right now. Hopefully more and more folks start taking an interest in Oklahoma music.”
