The City of Guthrie has produced a promotional music video in collaboration with Oklahoma singer/songwriter Maggie McClure for her original song “Coming Home.” The video features a variety of segments highlighting the quality of life Guthrie offers to current and future residents, as well as visitors.
“Maggie’s song really captures how we feel about our town,” says City Manager Leroy Alsup. “Whether you’ve lived here all your life, returned home after a few years away, or you’re a first time visitor, we think this is a special place. It was important for us to express that feeling with just the right artistic sentiment, and Coming Home sure does that.”
The City of Guthrie will be using the music video, as well as shorter clips, to help retain and attract young professionals and entrepreneurs to the community, as well as promote the city’s festivals, special events, tourism and economic development recruitment efforts. It’s also a way for Guthrie to support original Oklahoma art.
“Guthrie has a very special place in my heart and I am so excited to partner with the city on this project,” says McClure. “I am truly honored to have my song featured, and to represent Guthrie on a local, regional, national and international level.”
The arts have been, and continue to be, an integral part of the fabric of Guthrie, and the city hopes that partnering with an Oklahoma songwriter like McClure is just one opportunity of many where the city and Oklahoma artists can collaborate to enhance the quality of life of both Guthrie and Oklahoma.
The City Of Guthrie encourages those who are looking for a place to shop, eat, stay, work, live, or play to “Come home to Guthrie, America!”
