The 2025 Induction Ceremony is history! As with every ceremony, this one was very special. We had good food, a great audience, and music that was some of the best in the Wabash Valley, and we had the honor of inducting the winner of the 2024 season of America's Got Talent, Richard Goodall. If you missed it, you missed a great party, so be sure to attend next year! Where can you go for $20, get fed, socialize with your friends and listen to the best musicians in the Valley? Only here!
The Hall of Fame gratefully acknowledges everyone who helped to make this event possible: Our host, the Zorah Shrine, our sponsors, our opening act, Eric and Rachel Rasley, and our many volunteers. Our sponsors were very generous to us. We appreciate every one of them and encourage you to partronize their stores.

calendars!
Tickets are now on sale!. The cost is $20 per ticket, which includes your meal. You
can purchase them from the Music Shoppe or from any Board Member. Don't wait to get your
tickets; we expect them to sell quickly and the Fire Marshall limits us as to how many people we
can allow to attend.
Please help us out! It is only with your support that the Hall will
survive and be able do the community work that we are known for, particularly in our schools.
You can do this by buying tickets, participating in our drawings and raffles at the event, or by
making cash donations (even a couple of dollars is helpful). If you can't attend, would you
consider sending us a donation? Please support us and the musicians we represent.
We appeal particularly to our members! Help us to be able to honor musicians in
the future like you were honored in the past.
Doc Long has announced his resignation from our Board of Directors. He served as the
M.C. at our annual Induction Ceremonies long before he joined the Board in 2020 and he has
made many other contributions to the Hall, as well.
The Board offers its thanks to Doc for all of the time and effort he put in to making the
Hall of Fame as success, and we wish him the best in his future endeavors. If you
see him, please congratulate him on a job well done.
The Induction Ceremony was moved from March to September during the COVID-19 pandemic because it seemed to be stronger in the spring than in the fall. The Board of Directors has decided to return the ceremony back to the month of March. Therefore the 2025 Induction Ceremony is scheduled for March 9, 2025. As in the past, the Induction will be held at the Shrine on North 7th Street. Remember to mark your calendar!! We look forward to seeing you there!
This means that the Picnic & Jam will return to the fall, probably in September. The date has not yet been set, but an announcement will be posted here once a data has been chosen.
Attention musicians! The Class of 2025 will be chosen very soon, but you might be able to be considered for this class if you get your questionnaire to us fast enough.
Remember, we keep all questionnaires, so if you are not selected for this Induction Class, you will eligible for the next one. There is a link to the questionnaire form on our home page.
