‘Singing Bones’ to be at Jubilee

Saturday, June 17th. at 6:30 p.m. The Ponca City Gospel Jubilee is excited to feature “The Singing Bones” Leroy & Tracey Bender-Bone. Tracey is a singer, songwriter, recording artist and has been singing most of her life. She came from a musical family and has been a part of many venues (country and gospel) between Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Missouri. However, her favorite thing is to sing for The Lord, it is a calling on her life. Now her and husband, Leroy, travel to churches all over sharing the gospel through music when she isn’t working for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management where she is the Statewide Exercise Officer. Leroy sang as a young man but went on to real life raising kids and has earned the title of “Cookie Man” since 1996. For reservations of 6 or more information contact Vickie Vaughan at 580/628/7105.
