Terry Ware & The Sunday Flyers — Rock & Roll — Elm Tree Concerts
2025-09-28 13:00 - 15:00 | Arcadia Round Barn, 107 OK-66, Arcadia, OK, 73034, United States
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.

UkeFest
2025-09-14 12:00 - 16:00 | OK
Join the fun at the 9th Annual UKEFEST at the Arcadia Round Barn with ukulele enthusiasts and Uke-Stars for an afternoon of Ukulele goodness.

Did you know there are ukulele clubs in Oklahoma City, Stillwater and Tulsa?

“One of the best local ukulele groups is ‘MISSPENT UKES’ from Stillwater, Oklahoma,” remarked Round Barn Music Director Joe Baxter. The “Misspent Ukes” are a silly group of serious musicians and singers who love to perform at community events, Baxter said. “I was impressed with their knowledge and mastery of their music & vocals.”

Quick history: Developed in the 1880s, the ukulele became popular in Hawaii because of great support and promotion by the last of the monarchs, King Kalakaua. High caliber musicians like George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon all played the ukulele. Harrison was a great lover of the instrument and often gave them to friends, including Tom Petty, whom he taught to play.The ukulele (YOO-kə-LAY-lee; Hawaiian), also called a uke (informally), is a member of the lute (ancient guitar) family of instruments. The ukulele is of Portuguese origin and was popularized in Hawaii. The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four types: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.

Of the standard ukuleles, the soprano, often called “standard” in Hawaii, is the second smallest and was the original size, 21 inches long. Most ukuleles range in size from 11 to 23 inches. The biggest is the baritone ukulele at 30 inches in total length.Get inspired by these 3 songs before UKE FEST! Open YouTube and enjoy the classic song “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,” performed by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, which has over 28 million views. Another is “Misirlou,” by musical duo Honoko & Azita—two young, female Uke players from Hawaii. Well-known composer and ukulele player Jake Shiabukuro, became internationally famous in 2006, when his virtuoso rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral—one of the first to do so on that platform.

What to expect at 9th Annual Ukulele Festival on Sunday, Sept 14:

Ukulele standards, originals and new tunes

Food trucks

Ukes for sale/trade

Special Guests

Don’t miss the fantastic ukulele performances held upstairs in the loft and outdoors in the shade under the Round Barn’s big old elm tree! Bring your chair or blanket, and your ukulele! Sunday, September 14th from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Gypsy Twang — Tulsa Red Dirt — Elm Tree Concerts
2025-08-31 13:00 - 15:00 | Arcadia Round Barn, 107 OK-66, Arcadia, OK, 73034, United States
Gypsy Twang, an outstanding band, filled with musical talent and sweet harmonies, will perform on Sunday, August 31st at the Arcadia Round Barn, under the shade of the Elm tree, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Current band members include Sarah Barker Huhn on lead vocals and guitar, Steve Huhn on upright bass, John Williams on vocals, guitar, harmonica and Kurt “Frenchie” Nielsen on mandolin and tenor guitar.

Gypsy Twang was established in May of 2009. Husband and wife Steve and Sarah Huhn had both done a few other things musically, but had always wanted to form a band together. “We rounded up a couple of friends to play a gig with us, and the next thing we knew we were booking more dates and thinking up a name for the band (Gypsy Twang is a nod to both Bob Childers and Country & Western music).

“Our unique brand of music includes original, traditional, singer/ songwriter, and vintage country tunes. As we progressed, we found ourselves leaning more and more towards original tunes penned by John and Sarah as well as dipping in to our traditional country and Red Dirt roots.” Steveʼs dad was a boogie-woogiepiano player, and often invited friends to their home for jam sessions. His taste ran to jazz and standards, and thatʼs the music

Steve grew up with. Sarahʼs dad, on the other hand, wasnʼt a musician himself. But he loved music, and passed along his love of Country and Western music to her from an early age. John (Williams) is one of the best songwriters on the Red Dirt scene, and has a heart for traditional country as well. “Frenchie plays all over the place, and we consider ourselves lucky to be part of his band family!”

Today, we perform Sarahʼs and Johnʼs original songs, as well as tunes written by fellow Okies, country keepsakes, alt-country, Americana, traditional, and folk songs.

Come out and Hang with the Twang at the Round Barn on Sunday, August 31st. Weʼd love to see your smiling face!

Individual Bios

Sarah Barker Huhn is an Oklahoma-born musician who makes her home in Tulsa. She fronts the band Gypsy Twang, John and Sarah both sing, play and write Okie songs with Gypsy soul, drawing upon their respective family backgrounds and small town roots. A bit of a late bloomer, she bought her first guitar at the age of forty, started writing songs right away and found a home in the Oklahoma music community. These days youʼre just as likely to find her with a camera in her hands, capturing photos of musicians and events around the state.

John Williams is perhaps best known in Red Dirt circles for his scorching blues harmonica skills. He taught himself to play aboard a Navy destroyer ship many moons ago and is a sought-after session harp player as well as playing live with several bands through the years up to the present

Steve Huhn plays a 1939 Kay upright bass in Gypsy Twang. Steveʼs bass playing is the heartbeat of Gypsy Twang. Well-versed in music theory, he never bats an eye when we decide to change keys, has a savvy ear for arrangements and can ‘Nashville chartʼ a song like nobodyʼs business! Steve is as rock steady as the soulful beat he keeps on the bass. He is our foundation, and without him there would be no band.
