The 16th Annual Oregon Music Hall of Fame (OMHOF) Induction and Concert will be held on Saturday October 7th t 7pm at the Aladdin Theater. The Concert will feature The Delines, who formed in Portland in 2014 with Richmond Fontaine’s Willy Vlautin, Sean Oldham and Freddy Trujillo along with amazing vocalist Amy Boone from Austin’s The Damnations. Their debut album, Colfax, was an instant hit in Europe and appeared on over 20 top ten end of the year lists in Europe and the US. It’s follow-up, The Imperial topped the UK Americana charts. Their 3rd release Sea Drift became 11th best record by UNCUT in 2022 and was number 17 best record by Rolling Stone France. The Delines will receive the Oregon Music Hall of Fame’s Album of the Year award on October 7th.

Team Dresch formed in 1993 with Donna Dresch, Jody Bleyle, Kaia Wilson and Marcéo Martinez.  They were four young queers combining the brazennesshe Riot Grrrl/Punk sound with the dirge of grunge and a window into the LGBTQ+ experience, pioneering the Queercore movement in the Pacific Northwest. They released their debut album, Personal Best, in 1995. In 1996 Martinez left the band and Melissa York joined on drums and they recorded the album Captain My Captain. They went their separate ways in 1998 but reunited in 2004 and have been rocking together ever since, releasing new music and touring the world.  Music this honest never gets old.

Andy Stokes has been sharing his soulful voice and musical mastery with the world for more than 3 decades.  A two-time OMHOF inductee, with Cool’R and as a solo artist, Andy is known for his powerful vocals and live performances singing R&B. He has received airplay all over the world in recent years as well as has been touring all over North America. This has led Andy to earn the moniker “The Northwest King of Soul”.

The event will feature a live auction with autographed guitars from Patti Smith, Fleet Foxes, Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and more. Proceeds from this event help support OMHOF’s music in the schools’ program as well as our scholarship programs. This year’s master of ceremonies will be the fabulous Tony Starlight.

The Oregon Music Hall of Fame (OMHOF) is a non-profit organization (501 c3) whose main purpose is to promote and preserve the musical arts of the state of Oregon.

The Oregon Music Hall of Fame is dedicated to the development, revitalization, invention and expansion of music education in Oregon’s public and private educational institutions. So far this year we have produced music education programs in Oregon public schools without music programs that have served over 5000students. We also gave away four $2500 scholarships to high school seniors that were going on to further their music education at a higher level.

The Oregon Music Hall of Fame recognizes and promotes the legacy of exceptional Oregon musicians and will celebrate Oregon’s unique musical history by inducting musicians and other music heritage contributors into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame.

The Oregon Music Hall of Fame also promotes the music from current musicians of the state both on a local level as well as a national and international level.
