Winter-Spring 2021 Prairie Pandemic Relief Concert Series
|
Since COVID-19's deadly affects started spreading across the world, it wasn't long before Stillwater began closing down and the sound of live music floated away. For months even attending a bar has been prohibited and our concert stages have been rendered silent and empty as events started to be cancelled across the state. These difficult times have also affected the musicians in a profound way as a critical source of income, as well as access to their creative outlet, have been severed.

TO MAKE A DONATION
The first concert will benefit the Stillwater Medical Center, and proceeds from the Virtual Tip Jar and Collection Jar at the event will go to the Teri Reed, RN Memorial Nursing Scholarship. Teri Reed, RN, one of the long-time Stillwater Medical nurse leaders, was crossing 6th street at dark following her shift several weeks ago. Sadly, she died from her injuries sustained after being struck by a vehicle who did not see her crossing the street. Teri was a beloved leader who always sought to help her others finish their jobs and would do whatever it took to get the job done. Terri was the wife of Keith Reed, OSU County Extension agent, regular columnist in the Stillwater News Press and active participant in Stillwater’s bicycle “movement”.

Charlie Redd and the Full Flava Kings
Charlie Redd and the Full Flava Kings band, a Tulsa institution, merges a bunch of musical genres into a clean and silky sound: funk, R&B, soul, blues, rock, hip-hop, reggae and pop. A bunch of cover bands play some old soul, funk/R&B and urban rock — but not like this band. They have an authenticity that can’t be copied. They provide good strong dance beats and a lot of energy. |
