Second in the Northwest Oklahoma Concert Series (NWOCS) line up is the multi-award winning band from the Ozark Mountains, Link Union. The group will perform Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. in Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Herod Hall Auditorium.
Link Union has performed together as a family in more than 2,000 venues across the United States and Canada, entertaining thousands with their fusion of old-time musical instruments, stunning vocals, modern beats, and emerging with a fresh new style.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $5 for Northwestern students with ID, $10 for senior citizens, and a special $40 family package (for immediate family members only). Tickets can be purchased at the door, or at Holder Drug, Graceful Arts Center or the NWOSU Bookstore. Tickets are also available online at https://nwocs.ticketbud.com/.
Link Union is a synergy of the elements of bands such as Mumford and Sons, Alison Krause, and The Avett Brothers, creating an authentic connection with their audience. Whether it’s ancient tunes or their original songs, they never forget where they came from and stay true to their roots.
The group is made up of Rachel Link as the front woman who plays the mandolin, cello and penny whistle; Kyle Link, a multi-award-winning fiddler and lead male vocalist; Ashley Link, who plays the fiddle; Ben Link, who plays banjo and provides vocals; Aaron Link, lead guitarist and vocals; John Link, bass player; and Becky Link, vocals.
The rest of this year’s schedule includes the Enid Symphony, who will be joined by Northwestern’s University Chorale, March 7, 2017, and Bella Donna, April 25, 2017.
The reserved seating section at each concert will be held until five minutes prior to the performance.
