OK Sweetheart is an indie folk group from Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, with late 60's pop influences.

OK Sweetheart formed when singer Erin Austin won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for Pop and a subsequent Lennon Award for track "You Let Me Down" in late 2008. The track was released on the band's debut album. In October 2009, OK Sweetheart finished in the Top 5 "The Sound and the Jury" competition.[1] Soon members teamed up with Midlake drummer McKenzie Smith. McKenzie drummed on their debut album Home and shared production duties with existing members of the band. Elizabeth Ziman of Elizabeth and the Catapult and Matthew Gray of Matthew and the Arrogant Sea also collaborated on the album.[2] Home has helped the group gain a larger audience and been well received by fans and critics alike.[3][4][2][5][6][7]

Shortly, the band enlisted management from The Collective (Enrique Iglesias, Counting Crows). Their song "Home" was featured on The CW's 2011 season finale of 90210, The WB's One Tree Hill (2011), and CBS's Around the World for Free.[8] Track "All We Have" was featured on USA's Royal Pains in 2011. Erin Austin has also appeared in a major commercial for Microsoft (with Andrew Belle).[9] The band were featured on SPIN Earth.[10]

OK Sweetheart showcased at SXSW Music Festival in 2010 and 2011 and at CMJ Music Marathon in 2010.[11][12][4][13][14] They have also performed at LIV Music Festival 2011, DOE Bay Festival 2011, Norman Music Festival 2011, 35 Conferette 2011, Neon Reverb Festival 2011, Inaugural Tulsa International Film Festival and more.[15][16][17][18][19]
