Race Ricketts to play at Olney in America, charts with second single

Race Ricketts to play at Olney in America, charts with second single

Olney will be treated to a free concert by up-and-coming country star and native son Race Ricketts at the Olney in America festival on May 29 at the Olney Country Club. Mr. Ricketts, a graduate of Olney High School, began writing country music as a freshman at the University of Oklahoma in his dorm room at The Towers, he said. He picked up his pen and guitar in earnest when stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Ricketts had recently graduated from the OU’s theater program and planned on trying his luck on Broadway when the pandemic hit. He has scored two hits since releasing his first single, “940,” an anthem to Young County’s area code last fall. On Sept. 4, 2022, “940” entered 95.9 KFWR’s “The Ranch Top 12” weekly countdown at Number 12, rose to Number 10, and exited the countdown on Oct. 2, 2022. His second single, “You Don’t Deserve Writing a Song About” with Presley Hale, entered the countdown on April 9 at Number 12 and climbed steadily to Number 4 on May 21. He and his band released a third single “Texas BBQ” last month.
