Tulsa’s mission-driven Once In A While Band has announced the upcoming release of its album, Love’s Waiting For You, arriving Sunday, July 12, 2026. The 12-track project marks the group’s first full-length recording and continues the band’s mission of using music to support charitable causes throughout Oklahoma.

Founded in 2012 by bassist, songwriter and producer Greg Silvis, the Once In A While Band has performed at 32 charitable events and raised more than $30,000 for community causes throughout Oklahoma.
As producer, Silvis drew inspiration from artists such as Tulsa legend JJ Cale, Fleetwood Mac and Chicago, shaping Love’s Waiting For You into a collection of songs exploring themes of love, loss, resilience, self-worth and human dignity. “When our band went through orientation at The Church Studio in 2023, we felt completely at home,” said Silvis. “Feeling the nostalgia of a live room where so many legendary artists have recorded inspired us to become part of that creative legacy.”

The album’s partnership with the Kidney Cancer Association grew from a relationship that began when the band’s performance at a KCA fundraiser helped raise $6,000 for kidney cancer research.
“Several years ago, Claudia Tatum, KCA’s Tulsa team captain, invited our band to play at a fundraiser,” Silvis said. “We jumped at the chance, and our three-hour set raised $6,000 that evening. Building on that momentum, I later pitched Claudia the idea of raising even more money for the KCA through our upcoming album project at The Church Studio. She enthusiastically embraced the proposal.”
