About this listen

The Tulsa Tempo Podcast is more than just a show, it’s a heartbeat for the Tulsa music scene. Hosted by the vibrant and soulful Amy Elizabeth, alongside Producer Brandon Blue owner of Blue Couch Studio in collaboration with the Church Studio. This passion project was born out of a deep love for music, storytelling, and community.

Every episode is a space where Tulsa musicians can truly be seen and heard—not just for their sound, but for their stories. The late nights, the struggles, the wins, the why behind every lyric—it all matters here. Amy brings heart, curiosity, and an undeniable energy, while Brandon crafts the sonic experience that makes every conversation feel alive and authentic.

This isn’t just about music. It’s about connection. It’s about honoring the artists who pour themselves into their craft and giving them a platform to share their journey in their own voice.

We love every minute of it ... because this is what Tulsa sounds like!

    Singer-songwriter Ryan McLaughlin joins Tulsa Tempo for an intimate conversation and live performance straight from Tulsa’s music heartbeat.

You’ll hear live versions of “Reaching Out” (his next single), “Wonderlust” (a lyric-forward love song built on vivid imagery), plus favorites like “Love Like You” and “Little Bit of Something.” Ryan also talks influences (from Ryan Adams to David Ramirez and Dan Layus of Augustana), Tulsa’s incredible scene, life as a dad, and a career highlight—opening for Tyler Ramsey (Band of Horses) at the Vanguard.
