One thing we hear again and again from our community is this: “We want a street dance!” So, for the 50th Anniversary of Tecumseh Frontier Days, the Tecumseh Chamber is working hard to bring in live entertainment that will have us rocking to the rhythm of the moment and celebrating in true hometown style.
We are excited to kick off our live music announcements by welcoming Adilynn Nave to the Frontier Days stage on Saturday, September 26th!
Adilynn is Oklahoma born and raised and has been entertaining crowds practically her entire life. Singing, performing, playing guitar, and writing music since the age of 9, she brings a natural stage presence, powerhouse vocals, and a true love for music everywhere she performs.
Coming from a musical family, Adilynn’s sound is as authentic as it gets, with her dad on drums and her mom providing backup vocals. She also fronts the energetic 5-piece band Canyon Bell, bringing a full-band sound that blends Classic Country, Rock, Gospel, and today’s biggest hits into a show that keeps crowds engaged and ready for more.
A favorite at the Oklahoma Opry and on stages across the state, Adilynn is also gaining national attention. Earlier this year, she proudly represented Oklahoma at the National Country Music Association competition in Tennessee, where she earned both Female Vocalist of the Year and the prestigious Rising Star Entertainer Award.
Stage entertainment will take place during our historic 50th Anniversary Frontier Days Celebration on Saturday, September 26th, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Bring your lawn chairs, bring your friends, and get ready to dance in the streets as we celebrate 50 years of Frontier Days and 135 years of Tecumseh with an unforgettable afternoon of live music, hometown pride, and Oklahoma talent.
One stage. One unforgettable celebration. One amazing Oklahoma artist you do not want to miss!
