Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - Feb. 17, 2024 - Muskogee Civic Center, Muskogee
The Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in Muskogee (about 50 miles outside Tulsa) will honor the 2023 class of inductees with an induction ceremony and live performances on Feb. 17, 2024. Being inducted will be country band Ricochet, one of Oklahoma's best that also has a reputation for being one of the hardest working bands to hail from the Sooner State. The band burst onto the scene in a big way in 1996 with the Top 5 hit "What Do I Know" and its follow-up, the #1 smash "Daddy's Money" and they've been going strong ever since. Ricochet is fronted by singer, guitarist and fiddle player Heath Wright and includes drummer Chris Hempfling, steel guitar and sax player Larry Hight, bass man Bruce Bennett and keys player Rick Toops. Also being inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame will be fiddle player Shelby Eicher, musician and actor Bryan White, songwriter Verlon Thompson, concert pianist Timothy Long, music educator Jerry Huffer and concert promoter David Webb.

Brut Hotel - 1840 S. Boulder Ave, Tulsa
If you're going to visit Tulsa for any of the above events (or anytime) you're going to need a place to stay and the city offers a very cool option in the newly-opened Brut Hotel. The hotel is located in Tulsa's Sobo District (South Boston) and named after the fact that the building was originally built in 1952 utilizing the hip brutalist architecture style. Hip and stylish once again after being revamped, the hotel boasts 82 guest rooms and a rooftop bar where guests can refresh after a night of enjoying festivals or a day in the Sobo music and entertainment district, the Tulsa Discovery Lab or the busy Cherry Street District. Sobo is renowned as the "Gateway to Downtown" so a room at the Brut Hotel is the perfect jumping off place for the entire city. Besides the rooftop SOMA Lounge + Patio, Brut Hotel also has the SOMA rooftop kitchen, a cafe on the lobby level and Spa 1820 located in a separate building next door. There are also weekly yoga sessions and lots of other fun surprises on tap at the hotel. Book your stay
