Congratulations to Oklahoma’s own The Turnpike Troubadours on their nomination for “Group/Duo of the Year” at the 2026 Americana Music Awards! 🎉

For years, Turnpike has continued to represent Oklahoma music on some of the biggest stages in the country, and this recognition is a testament to the impact they’ve made through their songwriting, live shows, and dedication to their craft.

Tulsa will be well represented at Americana Music Association this year, with Turnpike Troubadours and Ken Pomeroy Music announced as Americana Music Awards nominees, and Casii Stephan and Ramsey Thornton announced as festival performers. We look forward to seeing even more Oklahoma artists announced in the months ahead!

Join us in cheering them on this September in Nashville! 👏

The awards will be presented this September in Nashville, and we couldn’t be more proud to see Tulsa talent recognized on a national stage.

Everybody who knows Ken knows just how well deserved this is. Her talent, artistry, and dedication continue to make Tulsa proud.
