Brady R. Hunt, Midwest City, Oklahoma, first became associated with the tenor banjo in 1967 playing for the Shakey's and Shotgun Sam's pizza chains.  Over the years, he has played tenor banjo with Dixieland Bands, professional theater pit orchestras, church orchestras, as well as performances as a symphony soloist.  He currently performs with the "Legends of Jazz" Dixieland band in Oklahoma City.    

In 1992, Hunt conceived and organized the award winning Guthrie Jazz Banjo Festival which has been held annually attracting thousands to hear tenor and plectrum banjo music.  He helped found the Okie Dokie Banjo Band, a group of 30 banjo enthusiasts as a result of interest in the Guthrie Jazz Banjo Festival.   
In 1997, Hunt created the Preservation Playhouse dinner theater in Guthrie, where he was feature performer and musical director, creating the musical arrangements for the shows which were performed there.  
Hunt has served as President of the Museum since its inception in 1997.
