Indiana’s Greatest Stage
Our Oganization
Music is the heartbeat of the Crossroads of America. From the soulful jazz of Indiana Avenue to the rock anthems born in small-town garages, Indiana has always been a breeding ground for legends.
The Indiana Music Hall of Fame was established to ensure these stories are never forgotten. We are more than just a collection of names; we are the keepers of Indiana’s sonic heritage. Our mission is to celebrate the performers, songwriters, and industry pioneers who have shaped the global musical landscape, while inspiring the next generation of Hoosier talent to pick up an instrument and find their voice.
Our Mission
The Indiana Music Hall of Fame is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, recognition, and promotion of Indiana’s rich musical legacy.
What We Do Our organization serves three primary pillars:
Induction: Honoring individuals and groups who have made a significant contribution to the world of music and have a distinct connection to the State of Indiana.
Education: Providing resources and archives that document the evolution of Indiana's diverse musical genres.
Advocacy: Supporting the current arts community by fostering a deeper public appreciation for the cultural impact of Indiana-born music.
Through our annual induction ceremonies and historical preservation efforts, we bridge the gap between Indiana’s legendary past and its vibrant musical future.
