ARCADIA — The Tulsa band Gypsy Twang will perform at 1 p.m. Sunday, June 19, as part of the Elm Tree Concert Series at the Arcadia Round Barn.

Gypsy Twang has been together as a band, in one form or another, since 2009. Current members are Sarah Barker Huhn on lead vocals and guitar, Steve Huhn on upright bass, John Williams on guitar, lead vocals and harmonica, and Kurt “Frenchie” Neilsen on mandolin and tenor guitar.

John and Sarah deliver vocals, often as duets, as well as write original tunes for the band. They describe their music as Okie songs with Gypsy soul and also pay homage to their roots, rendering folk songs from heroes such as Woody Guthrie and those written by friends in the Red Dirt scene.

The concert will be held on the north side of the barn beneath the shade of the giant elm tree. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted for the upkeep of the Arcadia Round Barn, which is owned and operated by the nonprofit Arcadia Historical and Preservation Society. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

For more information about live music at the Arcadia Round Barn, call Joe Baxter at 405-833-1350.
