ARCADIA – The Stillwater-based band “The Heard” will open the 2024 season of the Elm Tree Concert Series on Sunday, May 19, at the Arcadia Round Barn.

The concert is from 1 to 3 p.m. beneath the shade of the giant elm tree on the north side of the Round Barn. Admission is free but donations are accepted for the maintenance of the barn, which was built in 1898 and operated by the Arcadia Historical and Preservation Society.

Elm Tree Concerts are presented three Sundays a month from May through September. Live music at the barn also includes the Round Barn Ramblers concerts from 10:30 to 12:30 p.m. every Saturday, and the Round Barn Rendezvous jam session from noon to 4 p.m. on the second Sunday afternoon of the month.

This year’s Elm Tree Concert Series will also include such Round Barn favorites as Middle Sister, Gypsy Twang, T.Z. Wright, Edgar Cruz and Miss Brown to You. The Ukefest is scheduled for Sept. 8, and the season finale will be Terry Ware and the Sunday Flyers on Sept. 22.
