The Wildwoods will play Willow & Oak Sunday for Ogallala Regional Arts Council

Ogallala, Ne - The Ogallala Regional Arts Council is hosting another concert this Sunday, this time at the new Willow & Oak Event Center at 801 Diamond Springs Trail on the north side of Ogallala. According to ORAC's Barb Jeffries, three members of the Council drove to Red Cloud a year ago to see The Wildwoods and said "they fell in love with their music". Jeffries and Elisha McBride joined Derek Beck on Thursday's Sandhills Spotlight on Z93.5 Country to talk about the show.

The Wildwoods have become a force in the folk scene, boasting accolades like being finalists at the FreshGrass Music Festival Band competition and Gems on VHS "Gems in the Rough" competition in 2023. Their songwriting prowess is underscored by semi-final placements in the International Songwriting competition, with tracks like "Untitled" and "Way of Train." Recognized consistently at the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards, they were crowned "Best Band" by the Lincoln Journal Star’s Lincoln Choice Awards in 2022.

The doors will open for the concert at 3:00pm Mountain time, at Willow and Oak. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
