ART MOVES AT THE
OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR
THIS WEEK FROM NOON - 1 P.M.

Monday, September 17

Casey and Minna, acoustic folk

State Fair of Oklahoma

(Creative Arts),

Noon-1PM

Since 2011 Oklahoma City band, Casey & Minna, have delivered a happy folk & fiddle style with strong rhythms, pretty melodies and a splash of singing. In 2015 Casey & Minna became a family band with the fantastic addition of thirteen year old son, August, on tin whistle (when he's not in school.) They play folk tunes from around the world and home, plus contemporary pop, oldies, and original music. Songs interpreted in creative ways and improvisation make listening fun. Like Duke Ellington said, "If it sounds good, it is good."
