Tunes & Spoons: Fulfilling Tito’s Dream for Claremore
When Tito moved to Claremore in 2023, he fell in love with the town’s charm, its people, and the peaceful way of life. He spent hours fishing at his private pond and connecting with neighbors.
But on May 25, 2024, an EF3, one-mile-wide tornado devastated the community. Tito’s heart broke for the families affected. Out of this compassion came his vision for Tunes & Spoons—a celebration of music, food, and unity to raise funds for tornado relief and to bring people together.
​
Developed in collaboration with Brad White & Rob Miller (founders of Rocklahoma) and supported by local leadership, the festival embodies Tito’s belief in giving back through a celebration of music, food, and unity.
The inaugural Tunes & Spoons Chili Cook-Off and Music Festival took place August 22–24, 2025 at the Claremore Expo Center, bringing live music, delicious food, and community spirit together. This unique festival combines award-winning music, chili competitions, and family-friendly attractions — all while supporting an important cause: Music Giving Hope. More than just a music festival and chili cook-off, Tunes & Spoons is a living tribute to Tito’s legacy of love, resilience, and togetherness. His family and community partners proudly carry this vision forward, ensuring that Tito’s dream continues to inspire for generations to come.
Love One Another
is the late Tito Jackson's heartfelt creation, a song he released in 2021 amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic and ongoing chaos in the world. With this track, his aim was to convey a message of love, unity, and peace, offering a balm for troubled times. It's a call for people to join hands, embrace love, and exhibit kindness to one another, drawing inspiration from the enduring legacy of the Jackson Family. Through his music, Tito was dedicated to spreading a positive message of harmony and togetherness.
