Theodress Avery Band – Young guys with oodles of talent

The guests at Melissa and Cameron’s wedding in Tulsa last September got a special treat.  The bride’s brothers’ band, Theodress Avery, entertained during the reception and blew everyone’s socks off!  This group of young guys rocked the house (The Mayo Hotel actually) with their toe-tappin’ blend of oldies but goodies and rock awesomeness.  Despite their ages,...
