Cookies & Cocktails 2023 Entertainment: “Since 2011 Oklahoma City mom-and-pop duo, Casey & Minna have delivered a happy folk & fiddle style with strong rhythms and pretty melodies. Folk tunes from around the world are woven together in surprising arrangements on fiddle and acoustic guitar. The main mix includes Celtic, Cajun, Polkas, Cowboy, Holiday, Oldies, and Original music, along with contemporary pop tunes. Songs played with imagination and improvisation make listening fun. Like Duke Ellington said, “If it sounds good, it is good.”

Casey & Minna are versatile, able to provide music for a mellow background, a festive celebration, or a beautiful ceremony, on stage or strolling, for audiences large and small, young and young at heart.

Brad Fielder is a spirited purveyor of early 20th-century sounds. Hopping genres along the path laid by the pioneers of American roots, he makes folk music for all folks. It's quirky and relevant, old and new-fashioned. He writes tunes that tell of relatable characters and places in everyday life. As a one-man-band on the street or with an acoustic ensemble on a festival stage, the mission remains the same: Bring the music to the people.
