Nomination Information

The Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, Inc. a 501c3 non-profit corporation entity created for the cultural enhancement and enrichment of Buffalo and Western New York through the region's musicians and music history, was established in 1983.

The BMHOF's Mission is: To honor and protect the diverse cultural music heritage of WNY through preservation, education, scholarship, and performance. In doing so, the BMHOF has inducted over 230 members which includes outstanding musicians, performers, innovators, and non-performers who have made special contributions to WNY music.

In addition to honoring outstanding musicians from the Western New York area at our Annual Induction Gala, the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame works to promote local music by sponsoring an annual Scholarship awarded to High School Music Students at the Annual "Concert from the Heart", a performance by members of the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Historic Colored Musicians Club. Other "Spotlight Concerts" are held throughout the year to raise money for charities. The BMHOF is excited about the annual "Music Industry Networking Event" (MINE) where we match young musicians with BMHOF veteran performers in a mentoring role.

The Buffalo Music Hall of Fame is committed to expanding its archives of significant memorabilia and to establishing a permanent location at which to showcase this memorabilia. The permanent location will also provide the facitilies to continue and to expand our efforts to educate. The Board of Directors of the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame always welcomes new members to the board with an interest in music (though it is not necessary to have musical talent!) who would like to be part of this vibrant and exciting organization.
