The Edmond History Museum presents the LibertyFest event Songs & Stripes: Big Band Show

During the show, attendees will be transported back to the World War II era when well-known entertainers cheered up American troops through comedy skits, beloved music and patriotism.

Big band music is performed by Talk of the Town Orchestra. Barrett Huddleston and Tim Herbel will entertain in the style of a Bob Hope USO tour from the 1940s, while acknowledging modern military heroes from Edmond. Special guest singers are Lindsie Vanwinkle-Guthrie and Lynn Herbel.

Songs & Stripes, an official LibertyFest event, is sponsored by Bank7 and Found Love Bridal Consignment. The show is part of the museum’s 1940s Radio Theater, a national award-winning series hosted by the Edmond History Museum and directed by Barrett Huddleston. The show features live musicians and actors reading Old Time Radio-style scripts, with the addition of original Edmond-specific material.
