About  Sawyer

Son of Dustin and Amber Pittsley, Sawyer is a beautiful and sweet 5 year old who has had to face a lot of challenges. He has been diagnosed with Isolated Cerebral Dysgenisis, Central Hypothyroidism, Diabetes Insipidus, Cerebral Palsy and Cerebellar Hypoplasia. The doctors aren’t clear on what causes Sawyer’s deficits, but his cerebellum did not develop fully invitro. And the doctors aren’t clear on what Sawyer’s long term future will look like.

Sawyer has an extensive medication protocol that he follows. He also takes CBD oil to control his seizures, which is not covered under insurance. In addition to the expensive medicine, he travels out of state every 3-4 months for a Botox procedure to help reduce spasticity in his muscles that is done under anesthesia. This is also not covered by insurance and costs more than $4000 a year, not including travel expenses and time off of work.

Currently Sawyer attends The Little Lighthouse where he is able to receive physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Unfortunately at age 6 Sawyer will graduate out of Little Light House and his family will need put him in to a private school that will continue these therapies. In addition to a new school, the Pittsley family is also having to make major adaptations to their home to accommodate for Sawyer.

In addition to the Tulsa Diva’s event to raise money for Sawyer, Tulsa’s musical community is doing a Benefit & Live Recording – Songs for Sawyer on August 19th at Venue Shrine, and there is a GoFundMe account.

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.

Very rarely will you find an entertainer whose style and charisma matches their talent or vice-versa. Any of her devoted fans will tell you her performances make every audience member feel that she is there for them and them alone. No other singer gives such emotional performances.

Queen of Blues infused Rock and Americana, Jennifer’s voice is described as being as soft as a sultry summer breeze to a velvet gritty growl. Her takes on genres of acoustic alternative folk, jazz, blues and rock artfully blends to create a truly unique sound.


Denise Hoey started her singing career in Tulsa over 25 yrs ago.  After touring the world on cruises ships and headlining at the Alabama Theatre she brought her family back to Tulsa. She is so happy to be back in the Tulsa music scene with her band, Denise Hoey & The Boulevard.
