The Gimbles consists of the 2nd and 3rd generations of a legendary Texas music family. Dick is the son of the iconic Johnny Gimble, who is considered to have been the finest fiddler to ever play with Bob Wills, the King of Western Swing.
Third-generation Emily has continued the tradition by performing with both men for over two decades and was named the 2020 Official Texas State Musician of the Year. The Gimbles is a mix of Western Swing, Swing standards from the 30’s & 40’s, some honky-tonk and country blues, and a healthy sampling of Johnny’s own beloved compositions.
Join us on Sunday, April 2nd, 2023 at 9:00 AM at the John L. Kuykendall Event Center for our Sunday Morning Service with the Amazing Grace Fiddles, a Cowboy Breakfast and a performance by The Gimbles!
