The production is produced by saxophonist Mike Cameron, who has toured and performed with “Flipside,” the musical play about Page’s life.
Page, who died earlier this year, was the top-selling female recording artist of the 1950s. She was born in Claremore and raised in west Tulsa, where she graduated from Webster High School.
Cameron said the tribute show will include some swing and western-swing numbers, as well as songs from the Great American Songbook.
“It’ll probably be a little bit on the jazzy side, but we’ll get to the country songs, too,” he said.
Tickets, $5-$20, are available by calling 918-281-8609.
