“Jimmy Mattingly, a longtime member of Garth Brooks’ band who has shared stages with many other country music stars, will be among honorees at the 2023 National Fiddler Hall of Fame Gala & Induction Concert, scheduled Saturday, Sept. 16 at Mabee Center. Mattingly said he was “blown away” to be selected for the National Fiddler Hall of Fame. He is aware of the company he’ll be keeping in the hall of fame because he knows pretty much everyone previously inducted.” - Tulsa World

We lost a great friend!! Shoji Tabuchi will be greatly missed by every life he touched… hunreds of thousands! We inducted Shoji into the National Fiddler Hall of Fame last year! The date changed three times because of the pandemic, but everyone stuck with us and we had a fabulous Gala, finally inducting SHOJI, along with other greats Dale Morris Sr, Don Rich of Hee Haw fame, Scott Joss whose boss Kris Kristofferson came and sang, and honoring Byron Berline, who had recently passed. A night to remember!! We all love you, Shoji! Thanks for the many, many great memories and the music and smiles that live on forever….🌹🎻🙏
