The event commemorates the life and legacy of the “King of Western Swing” who helped popularize the music genre during the 1930s and 40s. A slate of performances by Western swing musicians will fill the Capitol rotunda throughout the afternoon, and Bob Wills memorabilia will be on display. The Oklahoma Historical Society will host a live evening recording of “A Very OK Podcast: The Bob Wills Story” about the iconic musician at Ponyboy, located near the Capitol.
