Johnny Gimble has worked with such legendary figures
as Bob Wills, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. He's won five CMA Instrumentalist
of the Year awards and received a 1994 NEA National Heritage Fellowship Award
from the National Endowment for the Arts--our nation's highest honor in the
traditional arts. Also a Grammy winner, he was proclaimed Fiddler of the Year
eight times by the Academy of Country Music. Acknowledged as the most talented
fiddler ever to work with Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys, Johnny Gimble
continues a life-long pursuit of playing with rich tone, perfect timing and
exquisite taste. Johnny will be accompanied by his son, Dick Gimble, an ace
western swing guitarist, veteran road warrior and session man.
