NOWATA COUNTRY JUBILEE
Saturday, September 1st LABOR DAY WEEKEND at the Jack R. Ellis Theater in Downtown Nowata, The Nowata Country Jubilee band will put on a great evening of fine music featuring our great guests – Joe Digges, Jeff Bookout, Maggie Bell & Tuck Thornbrugh.

Joe Digges from Bixby, Oklahoma is here again to sing for you. Joe performs all around the area for many different shows and dances. Whether he does the songs of George Straight or another popular performer, or maybe a song he has written himself, he always does a great job. He has a smooth mellow style that is bound to make you smile. If you have seen Joe on our show before you already know what a great singer he is. If you haven’t seen Joe perform you are in for real treat.

New to our sage is Jeff Bookout form Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Jeff is a Crew Chief Mechanic at American Airlines and has worked there for 21 years. He is a veteran of the United States Air Force. He has been singing all of his life and says to a certain extent it is his life. Jeff is a regular guest singer at the Crescent Valley Jamboree that is out side of Muskogee, Oklahoma. He has also been in the Branson Spotlight competition for the past three years, a Doug Gabriel production, which is at the Jim Stafford Theater and has also been a guest at the Skiatook Auction Oprey. His music includes but is not limited to contemporary Christian, gospel, country and of course classic country. Jeff says he just loves to sing and make people happy.

Maggie Bell is from Nowata and is no stranger to our stage but hasn't appeared since last year. She has seen many a stage in the past having had her own band in Michigan some years ago. Her husband Ralph has been a member of our board here at the show and it's always a treat when they can break away from their busy horse show schedule and include the Jubilee in their weekend. Not only has she sung professionally, she also owns "End Of The Trail Antiques" here in Nowata. She does a fantastic job of singing some great familiar tunes and you won’t want to miss her.

From time to time we are fortunate to have a talent to feature like Warren "Tuck" Thornbrugh from Dewey, Oklahoma. Tuck will debut on our stage this show but is sure no stranger to music and performing, having done so for more than 50 years. He is a great fiddler, guitarist and can also give the stand up bass a twirl with the best of them. Tuck has played and sung in the area for a lot of years, with a lot of musicians making him one of the more seasoned folks we've had the pleasure of featuring. Tuck plays with a group in Tulsa most every week and catches our show here in Nowata when he can. He has a list of music that will reach back, tickle your memories and sure enough bring a smile to your face. We are sure proud to feature him on our stage.
