The McKedys — Classic Country — Elm Tree Concerts
2025-05-18 13:00 - 15:00 | OK
ARCADIA, OK—Are you a fan of country music? We’re talkin’ Traditional Country and Western Swing. The McKedy Band is a family band that has been making great music for years. “We are passionate about country music and our performances have been a hit with audiences of all ages,” said Mackynsie McKedy by phone.

Their unique sound comes from a father-daughter-son trio with father, Byron McKedy, on steel guitar & vocals, 21-year-old daughter Mackynsie McKedy, on fiddle & vocals, and 18-year-old son, Austin McKedy, on lead guitar & vocals. The McKedys hometown is McLoud, Oklahoma.

While chatting with Mackynsie, I learned some fun facts: Austin McKedy is also a bull rider on the rodeo circuit. He loves it. Mackynsie is a music therapy major in college and the reigning Miss Lincoln County. She qualified for the Miss Oklahoma Pageant.

All three of the McKedys have solo careers and have several singles on all musical platforms. Both Mackynsie and Austin are represented by Clarksville Creative Sound in Nashville.

The Arcadia Round Barn has been a second home to the McKedy family. They’ve been playing as a family for about 15 years and going to musical jams at the Round Barn for nine years. Round Barn music director Joe Baxter said, “The McKedy kids practically grew up at the Round Barn, playing here at every opportunity, honing their skills.”

The McKedy Band has won several awards, including the Oklahoma Country Music Singers Association and the Josie Music Awards.

So you like country music? We’ve got your concert right here at the Round Barn on May 18th!

Miss Brown To You — Americana — Elm Tree Concerts
2025-05-25 13:00 - 15:00 | Arcadia Round Barn, 107 OK-66, Arcadia, OK, 73034, United States
Miss Brown To You will play incomparable cool jazz and Americana on Sunday, May 25th

Join us on Sunday, March 25 for an outdoor concert under the shade and cool breeze of the historic Elm tree on the grounds of the Round Barn in Arcadia, Oklahoma. The band Miss Brown to You is a dynamic musical duo known for their soulful blend of jazz, folk and blues. You’ll enjoy the incredible vocals of Mary Reynolds and the masterful multi-instrumentalist Louise Goldberg. Their music is a journey through rich melodies and heartfelt storytelling.

“Louise Goldberg is a superb pianist, whose deft and subtle playing is the perfect accompanist … I can’t think of anyone who interprets other great songwriter’s songs better than Mary Reynolds and Louise Goldberg. They can take a song that has been covered by the best and pull the strongest elements from all of them, and then inhabit the song in such a way that it transcends all the others. They are that good!” —Scott Aycock, KWGS Folk Salad

“Mary Reynolds has the most beautiful voice in the world … her pipes ring like the bells of heaven.” —Thomas Conner, Chicago Tribune. Nashville writer John Hadley calls Louise “not only an astonishly accomplished musician, multi-instrumentalist and performer, she’s a gifted composer and song writer as well.”

“It’s no secret that where Mary Reynolds & Louise Goldberg come from jazz, blues and folk music have always shared equal space. Those influences are front and center on songs that allow Goldberg’s piano and Reynolds’ voice to shine. They connect so effortlessly that you feel like you are hearing a singular voice.” —Greg Johnson, KOSU For the Sake of the Song

JOE BAXTER is an excellent storyteller. That’s why he’s also prolific songwriter and performer. We get to hear Joe Baxter tell stories and sing songs on Sunday, June 29th at 1 p.m.

Baxter is a fourth-generation Okie; a proud descendent of original hard-scrabble homesteaders. He’s retired from doing any actual WORK, but continues to perform as much as possible.

Joe has been knocking around the Oklahoma music scene for several decades. Known as a capable and copius songwriter, Joe’s songs deal with Everyman’s Every Day. Love, hate, pain, joy, silly, and serious. All of Joe’s followers, friends, and family have a “favorite” JB song. A few of his songs have won awards. My personal favorite is “Romeo’s Girl.”

The discography spans thirty years, and includes 11 all original albums from 1994’s “ Blue Tape” through 2023’s “ Interesting Times”. Joe’s songwriting mantra is “We record, therefore we are! ”

In Joe Baxter’s own words, he is: “A long-suffering, little-known, hometown, pre-Americana, redneck, short-haired, red-faced, irreverent, irresponsible, quirkily well-read, bombastic yet insightful, mouth-breathing, loud-laughing, dog-loving, nap-taking, no-workin’, fish-catching, backroad-driving … Okie song writer.”

You’ll find Baxter at the Round Barn 2-3 times a week, often he plays with his friends Curt and Richard, who play mandolin and fiddle. Together they are the Round Barn Ramblers. When Baxter was interviewed (by KFOR’s Galen Culver), Joe explained that “BARN MUSIC is a subgenre of OKIE NOIR.” I loved that JB quote and I learned that Okie Noir is sub-genre created by Oklahoma’s best-selling auhor Faith Phillips.

Lucky for the Round Barn, Baxter also happens to be the Music Director. He’s responsible for recruiting professional musicians for dozens of FREE concerts at the Barn every year. “We’re so fortunate to have him, Joe is a fantastic volunteeer in addition to being a dynamic songwriter and musician,” said Linda Simonton, President of Arcadia Historical & Preservation Society.

Check out JOE BAXTER and the Lost Cause under the shade of the historic Elm tree, outside of the 1898 Round Barn in Arcadia. You’ll be glad you did.

•• JOE BAXTER Concert Details ••

WHEN: Sunday, June 29th @ 1 p.m.

EXTRAS: Bring a lawn chair in the back of the car, or grab one of the picnic tables. The show always goes on—rain or shine; we just move upstairs into the loft.

Mary Battiata & Little Pink – Alt-Country and Americana with Rich Storytelling and a Twang-Folk-Pop Sound play JULY 13th ARCADIA
2025-07-13 13:00 - 15:00 | Arcadia Round Barn, 107 OK-66, Arcadia, OK, 73034, United States
Mary Battiata & Little Pink is the ongoing Alt-Country, Country, Americana, Twang-Folk-Pop project of singer-songwriter Mary Battiata (pronounced Bah-tee-ah-ta – it’s Italian). Mary Battiata and Little Pink will perform at the Arcadia Round Barn’s Elm Tree concert on Sunday, July 13th 2025 at 1 p.m.

Mary is a singer-songwriter and alt-Country bandleader who plays and tours from her home base in Northern Virginia. Ms Battiata has a fabulous voice and wraps it around some excellent lyrical content, the quality of which rivals the writing of Rodney Crowell.

Mary was raised in the Maryland suburbs outside Washington DC, when local radio was still playing hours of classic Country and vintage Bluegrass every day (thank you Eddie Stubbs!) She was singing and playing acoustic guitar by high school, and began writing songs in the mid-1990s, after returning from several years as a foreign correspondent (in East Africa and Eastern Europe).

She formed her first alt-Country band in 1997, inspired by the songwriters – local and touring – that she saw at her neighborhood music venue, the newly hatched IOTA club, where she played, too. In 1999, she formed Little Pink, a capable and fluid lineup of top-tier players drawn from the DC and Baltimore Roots and Country scenes. The band’s name, and its sound, were inspired by The Band’s recording, Music From Big Pink.

Battiata’s influences include: Dolly Parton, Hank Williams, Hazel Dickens, George Jones, the Feelies, Aftermath and Flowers, to name a few.

“Everything you most loved about Dolly and Rosanne is here, with heart-tugging hooks that snag like spurs.” —Andrew Darlington, RNR Magazine, UK
