Gary Prince and Sugar Creek headline Ford Room

At last, at long last, finally – Joey Pruett and Gary Prince have coordinated schedules and the Sugar Creek Band will make its first appearance at the Ford Room at 7 p.m., on July 20, the third-Thursday concert night inside the Rector Community Museum located on Main Street in Rector. Pruett commented, “I’ve been trying to book this group for a couple of years. The RCM Board and I are excited to offer this concert to the public. Call me (870-595-4053) for more information and tickets.” Jim Howard who is featured on percussion and with vocals shared that Gary Prince and Sugar Creek began playing together in the 1980’s, playing country music by Merle Haggard, Earl Thomas Conley, Exile, and others before they took a fifteen- year hiatus. In the customary lingo, they decided to get the boys back together – get the band back together. In 2003, they reconnected to play the music they love.
