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.
