Students and faculty from the Academy of Contemporary Music performed with recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and first lady of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson at an Oklahoma City dedication ceremony this week renaming a street in her honor. The musicians included students Jon Bohlen (bass) and Luke Buthman (guitar) along with faculty members Peter Pollack (drums) Chris Hicks (guitar).

Jackson, known as "the sweet lady with the nasty voice" played a mini-concert that included her songs "Right or Wrong," "Mean, Mean Man" and her most popular, "Let's Have a Party." See video of the performance and read more here.

Currently in the midst of its inaugural semester, The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma (ACM@UCO) is a new school led by Flaming Lips manager Scott Booker that provides unique educational opportunities and targeted, innovative classes for students who aspire to have a career in the music industry.
