Organizers of the Red Dirt Black Gold Festival had a change of venue for Saturday night’s concerts.

Around 7 p.m. in a social media post, the music was moved inside the Ocotillo Theater.

“About 100 folks can get into the Ocotillo free and see the Red Dirt Black Gold bands,” according to the Facebook announcement.

A heavy thunderstorm Saturday afternoon cancelled the outdoor version of the concerts, after sound equipment was damaged, organizers said.

Hooks and Huckleberrys opened the show, followed by Clayton Runner. Kenny Fielder was set to perform along with Cody Canada
