In 2015, Evan Jarvicks was afforded the opportunity to write for Literati Press, a local publisher. Given the freedom to cover whatever he wanted for its online blog, he turned to covering local music. As an outsider musician himself, he wanted to provide a place that would not bow to cliques, popularity, or business interests. He also drew inspiration from an online magazine called Oxford Karma, which folded earlier that year.

This led to him working for Cellar Door Music Group the next year, where he quickly became the Managing Editor of the music blog and eventually was granted partnership alongside founder Jennifer Maynord. For the next two years, he built a reputation for his insightful writing and willingness to cover a wide array of music. Cellar Door ceased operations in 2018.

While picking up odd gigs like writing band bios, working for Red Dirt Report, and even being published in The Oklahoman, Jarvicks began to formulate a new platform that would become Make Oklahoma Weirder.

Jarvicks also records and performs under his nickname, Jarvix. Since picking up the ukulele in 2011 and cutting his teeth on live performances in 2014, he’s worked his way to becoming one of Oklahoma City’s premier solo artists known for his looping pedal arrangements and fun stage shows. This has since led to him opening for acts such as Tune-yards, That 1 Guy, and Grammy-nominated Trout Fishing in America.
