ARCADIA – Oklahoma City singer-songwriters Amanda Cunningham and Joe Baxter will present an Elm Tree concert on Sunday, June 27, at the Arcadia Round Barn. The concert will be from 1 to 3 p.m. beneath the shade of the giant elm tree on the north side of the barn.
Cunningham began playing guitar, writing songs and performing while attending Oklahoma State University. After graduation she made her first CD of original music and won the Oklahoma City Gazette’s Woody Award for best singer-songwriter. After a short stay in Tulsa, Cunningham was based in Austin and toured from California to Nashville. She is currently playing shows throughout Oklahoma and Texas.
Baxter, who coordinates the live music at the Round Barn, writes and performs in the genres of country, bluegrass, Americana and original rock and roll. He has fronted several Oklahoma bands including The Regular Joes and currently leads the Round Barn Ramblers, the house band at the Arcadia Round Barn, which performs every Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. His new album, “Arcadia,” is a tribute to the town of Arcadia and the Arcadia Round Barn.
All concerts are free, but donations are accepted for the maintenance of the barn, which is located six miles east of Interstate 35 on historic Route 66. For more information about live music at the barn, call Baxter at 405-833-1350.
