Tulsa's Music Legacy
Tulsa’s music history runs deep. Its worldwide influence ranges from the legendary Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys broadcasting live from Cain's Ballroom in the 1920s, to evolving the Tulsa Sound in the 1950s and 1960s. The Jim Halsey Company moved to Tulsa in the 1970s and established the largest country music agency in the world, representing 42 of the biggest stars include Roy Clark, Oak Ridge Boys, Hank Thompson, Wanda Jackson, Reba McEntire, The Judds, The Gap Band, and more.
During that same decade, Leon Russell's Shelter Records and The Church Studio emerges, and the late 1990s sees the Grammy-nominated band Hanson debut their hit "MMMBop." Today, Tulsa has hundred of musical acts that fill the city with live music every night of the week. Every genre of music is represented, with a notable hip-hop scene including 'Fire in Little Africa', a multimedia hip-hop project commemorating the 1921 massacre of Tulsa's Greenwood neighborhood known as 'Black Wall Street'. With a history so long, we can’t nearly mention everything—but there are many places throughout Tulsa that are dedicated to educating people about music history.
Tulsa Music Month was established in 2021 as part of the Tulsa Music Strategy, to recognize and support the impact Tulsa music has on the city’s economy and culture.
