The Sunday Flyers will play their mix of modern pop rock on Sunday, Sept. 28th at 1 p.m. This is the last of the Summer series of Elm Tree Concerts outdoors in the shade of the large, historic elm tree next to the 1898 Round Barn.

The Sunday Flyers are a rock band based out of Norman, Oklahoma. They perform original music and other tunes that cover a wide variety of styles. Their songs are perfected by seasoned professional musicians who love what they do!

Some have called Terry Ware the undisputed professor emeritus of rock guitar in the state of Oklahoma. Since 1967, he has honed his guitar skills as a touring musician with Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jimmy LaFave, Wanda Jackson and dozens more. For over 25 years,Terry has led the house band at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival.

Starting piano lessons at nine, he got his first guitar at 14, purchased by his parents with S & H Green Stamps. In Vintage Guitar magazine, Ware said, “I loved Duane Eddy, and the The Ventures. Seeing The Beatles on Ed Sullivan was what really put me over the top.” Although he’s got a surf guitar element, there’s so much more that Ware loves and he’s a real fan of melody, no matter what the genre. “I work at crafting good melodies and chord progressions. Brian Wilson is one of my favorite composers, as is Jimmie Webb, and Laura Nyro.”

Ware’s main guitars are a ’76 Telecaster, plus a ’56 Strat, ’56 Les Paul goldtop, along with several vintage amps.

In 2024, Rose State College created the documentary film “Ware the Buffalo Roams” (The Life and Times of Musician Terry Buffalo Ware) which has received high praise and several film awards.

Do yourself a favor and check out this revered musician with his band The Sunday Flyers for a free rock n’ roll concert on Sunday, Sept. 28th at the Arcadia Round Barn, 107 OK-66 in Arcadia, Oklahoma 73007.
