MUSKOGEE — The Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame Museum has reopened to the public and will hold a concert Friday to benefit its new children's exhibit.

The 6 p.m. event will be at the Frisco Depot, 401 S Third St., organizers announced Wednesday.

A number of regional musicians have volunteered their talents for the benefit, including Muskogee's Wild Card Band; Harley Hamm; Bronko Carr; David Carr; Cat Daddy and the Elevators; Jermaine Mondaine; Derek Gibson; The Kay Brothers; Jim Paul Blair; and Joe Mack.
