So sad to have lost my sweet friend, Tommy Crook.

Sad to report the loss of a true legend, Mr. Tommy Crook, Oklahoma guitarist and 2007 inductee into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

Born February 16, 1944, in Tulsa, Tommy shared his extraordinary talent on stages across the country—from concerts and festivals to clubs and private events. He proudly served on several USO tours in Southeast Asia during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Throughout his career, Tommy performed alongside renowned artists including Merle Haggard, Leon Russell, J.J. Cale, David Gates, Shelby Eicher, Carl Radle, and even Chet Atkins—who once told Johnny Carson that if anyone played guitar better than him, it was “Tommy Crook in Tulsa, Oklahoma.”

Tommy released his self-titled album in 1989, produced by Grammy Award–winning drummer David Teegarden. Admired by countless musicians and industry professionals, he was known not only for his remarkable skill, but also for his humility, his dedication to teaching, and his decision to stay rooted in Tulsa, where he lived with his wife, Glenda.

His influence, talent, and legacy will not be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, students, and all who were inspired by his music.

Congratulations Jim!! We’re always pulling for you.

Congratulations to Jim Halsey on being honored with the CMA Touring Lifetime Achievement Award!

According to Billboard, this award recognizes an individual who has made a lasting impact on the growth of country music touring. Over more than six decades, Halsey guided the careers of legends like Roy Clark, Reba McEntire, Merle Haggard, and The Oak Ridge Boys, helping take country music to a global stage.

All of this was once operated out of the world’s largest country music agency, right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Congrats to OKPOP Museum! Very exciting!

🎉Y'all! We did it! 🎉

We have officially completed the Heart & Soul campaign, having raised $18.4 million! That money raised helped us secure the $18 million in matching dollars from the State of Oklahoma.

We couldn't be more grateful for all of the support from people like YOU! Our donors, our elected officials, our community partners, and fans everywhere have helped make OKPOP a reality.

With the funding secured, we are excited about our next steps...building a really awesome museum! We estimate OKPOP being completed and open to the public in the spring of 2028.
