McCLURE — Want to get a taste of The Beatles, Reba McEntire or even Johnny Cash? You can by attending this year’s McClure Bean Soup Fair, which runs Sunday through Sept. 13.

Well, sort of.

The Mahoney Brothers, Why Not Me and Ole Me are cover and tribute bands that highlight the live entertainment at this year’s 134th edition of the Bean Soup.

The headliner is country music group and 1990s hitmaker Ricochet, which claims to be “the hardest working band in country music” as they are still going strong after more than three decades in the industry.

Consisting of Heath Wright on lead vocals and guitar and fiddle; Chris Hempfling on drums and vocals; Larry Hight on steel guitar, electric and acoustic guitar, saxophone and vocals; and Bruce Bennett on bass and vocals, Ricochet has produced one gold album, two number one hits, three top 10s and six top 40 hits.

In April 2024, Ricochet was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, celebrating their musical achievements.

“Growing up in Oklahoma, one could only dream of such recognition,” Wright said of the honor. “We are honored even to be considered, much less be amongst so many Oklahoma icons in the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. Thank you to our fans, Encore Music Group, for new opportunities, and, of course, the Hall of Fame, for bestowing such an honor.”

Now, they are back on the road doing what they do best — creating great country music, sung with the distinctive harmonies that are their hallmark. They log thousands of miles on the road each year thrilling audiences of all ages.

Ricochet takes the stage at 8:30 p.m. Friday, with Little Rock opening for them at 7 p.m.

Little Rock is one of the Keystone State’s premier country bands, performing popular Top 40 and classic country hits as well as their own original music. They have toured up and down the East Coast and working with superstars Trace Adkins, Terry Clark, Toby Keith, George Jones, Rhonda Vincent, Bill Anderson and Gene Watson.

The musical entertainment kicks off on Wednesday, with the Mahoney Brothers performing at 7 and 8:30 p.m.

The Mahoney Brothers’ “Jukebox Heroes Live” features show-stopping impersonations of many legendary musical acts of the last 50 years, including The Beatles, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis.

The Mahoney Brothers began their musical career working with the Broadway production of “Beatlemania” and have starred on stage in “Dick Clark’s Golden Age of Television.” “Amazing! I thought they were lip synching,” TV entertainment legend Dick Clark once quipped.

On Thursday, Why Not Me delivers the ultimate live music experience with a true country show, performing some of the greatest hits from Reba, Garth Brooks and the Judds at 7 and 8:30 p.m.

On Saturday, Ole 97, a Johnny Cash tribute show band, takes the stage at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. for high-energy engaging and interactive entertainment. “Our passion is to keep the Fire Burning for the ‘Man in Black’ Johnny Cash,” the band stated on its website.

Randy Hunter and Charlene Boldin handle lead vocals, with Joe Brucker on lead guitarist and fiddle virtuoso, multi-instrumentalist Doug Nagy on rhythm guitarist, Andy Heinz on bassist and Paul Carpenter on drums.

The Green River band, presenting the ultimate Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute, follows them at 7 and 9 p.m. Known for faithfully recreating the classic swamp rock sound that made CCR famous in the late 1960s and early ’70s, Green River captures the spirit, look and feel of the original band with spot-on vocals, gritty guitar work and that unmistakable southern rock groove. The band features Rick Horvath on lead vocals, guitar and harmonica; Tim Theobold on electric and acoustic guitars; Dave Figura on bass guitar; and Harrison Balthaser on drums.
