OSGA honors Jim Dreadfulwater, Native American
Posted: 10 Jun 2022 4:39 pm
The story of Jimmy Dreadfulwater begins down around the
Tribal Headquarters for the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah
Oklahoma where he has spent a lifetime growing up. A
direct descendant of the folks who came across the Trail
Of Tears, Jimmy became an awesome musician who was basic-
ally self taught .
Starting with a hand me down 6 string guitar, eventually
he got introduced to Pedal Steel. Jimmy's quite the tra-
der and he's owned enough Steels to start a small store.
Everything from Sho-Buds,MSA, Mullen, EMCI , Emmons...I
never realized that one guy could buy, sell, giveaway so
many different instruments.
Jimmy puts on a colorful show, choosing to play in a Head
Dress. I personally have worked several dates with him
and he's a real entertainer, possessing a great voice ,
and rapport with the audience...an absolute fun guy to
work with. For a time , Jimmy taught the Cherokee language
at NSU in Tahlequah.
Jimmy will more than likely have Jess French with him on
bass and vocals. Jess is legendary as a singer and preacher
and Pastor of a Baptist church....having an awesome voice
and knowing a thousand songs, he is, most of all just one
heck of a nice guy. Be sure you're there to meet and greet
Jimmy Dreadfulwater and his cousin Jess French at the OSGA
Annual Steel Guitar Show in a short 2 weeks from now in
beautiful Jenks Oklahoma.
Hezekiah 3:1 says "he that tooteth not his own horn, the
same shall not be tooted".......so, we're trying to toot
the horn re: the OSGA. Come join in the fun !!!!
