Darke County Center for the Arts
Oda sponsors Texas Tenors &
Coffee House Series
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes Rodney Oda for his
contributions to the DCCA 2018-2019 season. Oda is an Angel
member of DCCA, and sponsors DCCA's Coffee House Series as well as the
recent Special Event holiday performance of The Texas Tenors "Deep in
the Heart of Christmas" at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville
on Sunday, December 9th.
“On behalf of Darke County Center for the Arts, I want to express our
appreciation of Rodney Oda and his patronage to the arts in Darke
County. Oda has been long time supporter of DCCA, and it’s
mission of providing cultural enrichment and the preservation of St.
Clair Memorial Hall as an important cultural center for the community,”
stated Andrea Jordan, DCCA Executive Director. "Darke
County is fortunate to have a vibrant arts presence, thanks largely to
individual supporters, including Rodney Oda , who help make our
community a great place to live."
The Texas Tenors is an award-winning trio, a top four finalist in the
fourth season of “America’s Got Talent” and the highest ranking vocal
group in the entire history of the show combine country, classical and
pop influences in their highly popular performances, which attract
enthusiastic crowds around the nation. Their popularity is reflected
locally, as the Special Holiday Event sold out in record time. “DCCA is
thrilled to be able to bring this delightful and entertaining show to
our community.”shared DCCA Artitic Director Keith
Rawlins “What a wonderful gift to the
community! Rodney Oda’s generosity is inspiring,” continued
Rawlins, “We appreciate Oda’s long term support of the arts, and
eagerness to give back to our community,” he concluded.

performing in an inviting social setting where food and drink are also
available, in smaller venues across Darke County. Upcoming Coffee House
Series events include returning Darke County favorites,
Singer/songwriter Lisa Biales and her trio at The Bistro Off
Broadway in Greenville on Thursday, February 28 “Lisa’s past
appearances in our community have earned her a well-deserved
enthusiastic local following,” stated DCCA Artistic Director Keith
Rawlins. “Her genuine warmth and friendliness establishes a rapport
with her audience that enhances listeners’ glowing response to her
versatile voice and amazing guitar skills, making for a memorable
experience for all concerned,” Mr. Rawlins explained. As well as Great
Lakes troubadour Lee Murdock. Murdock will sing seafaring songs and
share stories of ships that go down and ships that come in when he
performs at Arcanum Historical Society’s Wayne Trail House on Thursday,
March 7. “Lee has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories about
the Great Lakes,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “These
timeless tales of hard work and hard living epitomize the power of
music to touch hearts, souls, and minds with universal truths,” Mr.
Rawlins explained. Tickets for Coffee House Series shows are $10 for
