All four singers are members of the Oklahoma City Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society—also known as Vocal Sounds of Oklahoma—where Davis serves as treasurer on the chapter’s board.“We’re beyond proud of Locky,” said Lester Claravall, president of Vocal Sounds of Oklahoma. “Their performances at district were outstanding and truly represented Oklahoma City on the big stage.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0JqJ6V_0wCruvs100" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0JqJ6V_0wCruvs100" width="2048" height="1536" ><figcaption>From left to right: Caleb Henderson, Jerrod Davis, Kobe DeChurch, and Mark Winn—together they are Locky!</figcaption></figure>Davis said they named their quartet “Locky” as a mashup of lucky “because all four of us are lucky to be singing together and lock, which refers to the lock and ring we strive for in barbershop harmony.”Davis said joining Vocal Sounds of Oklahoma and forming Locky was a great way to get back into music. “Being a part of the VSO chorus these last two years has been a way for me to unwind and rekindle a love for music and singing that I hadn’t nurtured since high school. Recently, forming and competing with Locky as a quartet has been such a great experience. I look forward to continuing to learn and get better with them,” said Davis, a senior biologist at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Davis is married to Britni Davis, and they have two children, Teagan (8) and Tate (2). Fans of Locky will have a chance to catch them live at the Vocal Sounds of Oklahoma Christmas Show on Saturday, December 14, at 4 pm, held at the Annex (6724 NW 63rd St., Bethany). The best part? Admission is FREE! Come for Locky, and stay for the award-winning barbershop chorus. For more details or to RSVP, visit www.vocalsoundsok.org.</div></body>
