The family-friendly all-day concert will also feature musical artists Bo Phillips, LiveWire and Flat River Band. A special children’s fair area, unique entertainers including skydivers and magicians and a huge fireworks display at dusk will add to the spectacle of what has become one of the state’s largest and most diverse Independence Day events.

Shawna Russell, a native of Okemah, Oklahoma, has appeared at the event for the past three years, starting out as the opening act for BJ Thomas in 2008.

Ricochet (whose founding members singer Heath Wright, and bassist Greg Cook hail from Vian, Oklahoma) first rose to widespread fame with the #1 hit "Daddy’s Money" in 1996. Other chart songs include "What Do I Know," "Love Is Stronger Than Pride," and their signature Independence Day favorite, "The Star Spangled Banner," which landed the group in the record books when it was released and Ricochet became the first Country artist to place the song on the Billboard Country Singles chart. http://www.ricochetonline.com/
