About Levi
Levi is like no other kid you will ever meet. His spirit can light up a room and his snarky wit always makes everyone smile. His view on the world will give you a perspective you never thought possible. The obstacles he faces are monumental yet he does so with a smile on his face.
Levi was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in 2012 when he was 7 years old. Since then we have been fighting a battle to keep Levi healthy and strong, looking for treatments, waiting for a cure, and hoping for the best. Duchenne is a genetic disease that attacks the dystrophin gene. Boys with Duchenne are born seemingly normal but the disease is there wreaking havoc all along. Levi lost his ability to walk in 2014 and since then the disease has moved onto attacking his heart and other vital organs.
With all that he faces he has never lost hope and he never stops trying to make everyone around him feel happy and loved. I am so blessed and honored to call Levi my son and I will fight for him in anyway I can. He has made me a better person and filled up a hole in my heart that I didn’t know was there.

Performers
Stephanie Oliver
Stephanie has played music in the Tulsa area for the last 10 years, performing various styles such as Latin, Funk, Blues, Jazz and more. She is a highly requested vocalist and can be seen in venues such as Bodean Seafood, Southern Hills Country Club, and Lefty’s on Greenwood, to name a few. She finds great joy in the lyrics and melodies of the big band music from the 30s and 40s, and is delighted to have the opportunity to perform the music of that era.
Sarah Marie
Sarah Marie is a singer/songwriter and Nashville recorded artist based in her hometown of Tulsa, OK. With a heart for God and country, her first single was patriotic song “Red White & True”, and has more new music coming soon.
Sarah Barker Huhn and Gypsy Twang
Gypsy Twang was established in May of 2009. Husband and wife Steve and Sarah had both done a few other things musically, but had always wanted to form a band together.
Kim Anglin and Kimistry
Kim Anglin has been in the local music scene since the young age of 13 performing as Kim Key, primarily in the country venues in the area. With her eclectic tastes in different styles of music, her vocals have adapted well with just about anything from Rock, R&B, Soul, Funk, and Country. In late 2015, Kim joined a band called Fingers. Her versatile vocals was a good fit for Dave Armstrong, Jeff Smith and Johnny Bean. In her spare time Kim ventured out to create her own band, Kimistry that has only strengthened her abilities to rest on her own laurels. Her performances always get you on your feet and coming along for the ride!
Bethany Grace and GypsySoul
Bethany Grace & Gypsy Soul is an original Oklahoma based bluesy-rock band. Fronted by singer/songwriter/guitarist Bethany Kirby, the group has music ranging from hard hitting rock to sultry ballads. Other members include lead guitarist Stephen McKinney, bassist/vocalist Tip Votaw, and drummer Ken McDermed.
G-Force
G-Force is comprised of three of Tulsa’s long time mainstays in the club market: Gary Whitley of Big Kid; Steve Pounds; and Bruce Dunlap of Audio Rodeo. Add to this the talents of Cheryl McGee, Soprano sax; Amanda Eldridge, Alto sax; Holly Fisher, tenor sax and Kimber Keifer, Baritone sax, collectively known as the G-FORCE HORNS, and you have one of the most spectacular bands to date.
Sarah Dickenson and the Golden Ones
“Dickenson’s mere presence is enough to gather a crowd. She blew my mind with her powerhouse voice and groovy dance moves. The rest of her band provides an amazing support team, and together they play so in sync that their sounds flows out of their instruments naturally. Getting to hear this band perform live is a privileged delicacy that proves the theory of how some people are born to rock.” -Medley Jones
