National Fiddler Hall of Fame celebrates 18th annual induction in Tulsa

The National Fiddler Hall of Fame returns for its 18th year, honoring bluegrass icons and preserving a deep-rooted Oklahoma tradition.

This year’s inductees include Rhonda Vincent, known as the “Queen of Bluegrass” and a member of the Grand Ole Opry; Mike Hargrove of the Lonesome River Band; and the late Lyman Enloe, a celebrated Missouri fiddler.

The event highlights each artist’s contributions to the genre while honoring the history and influence of fiddling in American roots music.

Young Talent And Special Guests To Take The Stage

Thursday’s event will also spotlight rising talent from the Ozark Mountain Music Association, a youth group based in Branson, Missouri.

The kids will perform several songs as part of the Hall’s mission to support and grow the next generation of fiddlers. Other special guests include Hall of Fame member Shelby Eicher and country music artist Moe Bandy.

The celebration takes place on Thursday, July 10, inside the Mabee Center. A VIP dinner with live jazz from Eicher and friends begins at 6 p.m., followed by general admission seating at 7 p.m. and the main show at 7:30.
