The 2013 Induction Ceremony is history! As with every preceding year, this was a great party! Our opening act was a group of young men called Hype War Machine, and they put on a great show! Immediately following the ceremony, the inductees took the stage and put on a superb show. Dozens of people went home with raffle and silent auction items.

And we had a special guest this year. Toby Myers, former bass player for John Cougar Mellencamp, accompanied some children from Brown County Junior High School to sell tickets on an autographed John Mellencamp guitar. Not only did he attend the ceremony, he also got up and jammed with the inductees!

Be sure to check out the photos from the induction ceremony in the Photo Galleries section, as well as new pictures in the Local Bands and Local Musicians galleries.

A message to local area bands: The Hall of Fame does what it can to promote live music in the Wabash Valley. As a part of this effort, we offer a Local Band Registry on this web site (click the Community Page link at the left, then the Local Band Registry on the right).

We are contacted fairly regularly by people wanting information on local bands. We direct them to the Local Band Registry. Want your band name to reach these people? Add your band to our registry. There's no cost. Just send us the name of your band, styles of music played, and how to contact you, and we will add your band to the registry.

The 2013 induction ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, February 10, 2013 at the Terre Haute V.F.W. Post 972, located just north of Wabash Avenue on 12th Street. As always, there will be food, live music, raffles, door prizes, drawings and items for sale. Food service will start at noon and the festivities will last until at least 6:00 p.m. If we still have an adequate audience and there are musicians wanting to play, we will go longer.

We have two new items for sale this year - lapel pins and koozies. Be sure to visit the sales table by the front door and get yours.

A note to our fellow musicians: Please remember that the jam session is for the inductees first. However, supporting musicians will be needed, and once all inductees have been given a chance to perform, the stage will be opened to all musicians.

Tickets are only $10 per person, which includes your meal. They can be purchased from Hall of Fame Board members or at The Music Shoppe, Rick Waggoner's State Farm Insurance, The Conservatory of Music, or the Terre Haute V.F.W. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door, but why take a chance? Buy your ticket now! If you are unable to locate tickets, call or email us for assistance. Tickets are limited, so be sure to get yours early. Don't miss out on one of the best parties of the year!!
