History
The Oregon Music Hall of Fame was conceived of in the 1990s by a group called the Oregon Music Coalition.[1] Over the years they elected 50 Oregon musicians and bands to the hall of fame.[1] The group eventually disbanded, but in 2004, the hall of fame was revitalized and a group reformed as the Oregon Music Hall of Fame non-profit organization.[1]
The original inductees will continue to be honored, while new nominees will include musicians, producers, disc jockeys, and promoters.[1] The group plans to build an Oregon Music Hall of Fame building that will house music exhibits and memorabilia and host music education seminars.[1] The group's current activities include collecting Oregon music memorabilia, providing music scholarships to college-bound musicians, and promoting music education in Oregon elementary and middle schools.[2]
2007 inductees
Along with the original 50 inductees, six new honorees were inducted into the hall of fame in 2007: Elliott Smith, Oregon, Obo Addy, The Crazy 8's, Roger Hart, DJ and manager of Paul Revere & the Raiders, and club promoter and band manager Tony DeMicoli.[3]
Performers at the ceremony included The Kingsmen, Mason Williams, Mark Lindsay, and Everclear.[3]
