2025-07-27 13:00 - 15:00 | Arcadia Round Barn, 107 OK-66, Arcadia, OK, 73034, United States
The Oklahoma-based Americana band Trailer Folk will play their country and folk music on Sunday, JULY 27th at 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

This five-piece band’s music incorporates folk elements, but also draws from broader Americana and country styles. This can be seen in their use of instruments like banjo, guitar and upright bass. On their Instagram posts, the band highlights their sound as having a “bold view” and emphasizes their connection to the local music scene.

There’s a good chance you may hear some of these songs: “Wagon Wheel,”“Seven Bridges Road,” and “Man of Constant Sorrow.”

Did y’all know Trailer Folk is a family affair?

Tyler (lead vocals/guitar) & Jessie (lead vocals/percussion) are married

Abbey (violin/viola/mandolin) & Preston (percussion/bass) are sister & brother-in-law

Aaron (bass/banjo) is the newest member. He may not be related to anyone in the band, but he is everyone’s best bud (AND he’s married)

Did you know their fans are called Trailer Folkers?

All the Trailer Folkers (the fans) will be at the Arcadia Round Barn on Sunday, July 27th from 1 p.m.—3 p.m.! Bring a chair or blanket and enjoy the free show!

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

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.
