Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame to announce
2014 inductees, ceremony date at Feb. 7 press conference

PAWTUCKET – The Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame (RIMHOF) will hold a press conference announcing its 2014 inductees and the date of its Awards Ceremony and concert on Friday, February 7, at 11:00 a.m., in the RIMHOF Museum space located at Hope Artiste Village, 999 Main St., Pawtucket. The group will be honoring the third class of the Hall of Fame at a two-day spring event to be held at Lupo's in Providence and The Met, located at Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket.

RIMHOF, formed in 2011, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating, honoring, and preserving the legacy of Rhode Island musicians, educators and industry professionals who have made significant contributions to both the national and Rhode Island music scene. The Hall of Fame's inaugural inductees in 2012 were John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, Roomful of Blues, Dave McKenna, Eileen Farrell, Oliver Shaw, Ken Lyon, Anders & Poncia, and Gerry Granahan. 2013 inductees were Steve Smith & The Nakeds, The Cowsills, Paul Geremia, Eddie Zack & The Hayloft Jamboree, Bobby Hackett, Jimmie Crane, Bill Flanagan, Sissieretta Jones, and George M. Cohan.

At last year's sold out induction/concert event, the public saw nine more displays unveiled honoring the inductees in the museum space located in the hallways of Hope Artiste Village. The February 7 press conference will take place in this museum space which provides excellent photo opportunities for the announcement of the 2014 Inductees. On hand will be several members of the Class of 2012 and 2013, some 2014 inductees, and many members of the RIMHOF Board of Directors. Information about the spring induction ceremony and concerts will also be made available for the first time at the press conference.

This ongoing initiative," says Rick Bellaire, vice chair of RIMHOF, "provides a great opportunity to not only acknowledge Rhode Island's musical greats and celebrate their achievements, but to finally have an organization whose primary goal is to promote and preserve Rhode Island's rich musical heritage in all its forms. With actual exhibit space, coupled with our online archive, we have in place the tools to curate and showcase the best of Rhode Island's musical artistry."
