Theresa O’Dell, Vice President/Director

• grew up performing gospel music
• musical roots have translated into a love and appreciation for western/cowboy music
• hosted a two-hour gospel music radio program on Heartland Public Radio for several years
• uses her public speaking experience to emcee western music shows for Musikode Productions in a variety of venues
• works with venues through Musikode Productions to fill the need for quality western performer/entertainers

In her professional life, after a twenty-year career in educational publishing, Theresa moved into freelance editing and then into the non-profit world of an educational foundation. She brings a wealth of skill and creativity to Musikode Productions and joins Marvin in the desire to keep alive this wonderful western music heritage. Theresa serves as an officer on the Board of Directors for the Western Music Association (WMA).

Both Marvin and Theresa are members of the Western Music Association and are passionate about the work that the organization does to promote and educate about western music, musicians and the western way of life.  Out of Marvin and Theresa’s love of the history of the American cowboy and great respect for this music and its musicians and performers, Musikode Productions was born. 

"We want to do what we can to preserve the western way of life through music and other forms of western entertainment so that generations to come will know it existed and can appreciate the heritage. It's exciting to work with venues to provide quality western performers for their functions and introduce some folks to real western entertainment for the first time."
