The Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, Inc. is 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. 

We exist to recognize, honor, and preserve the history of the musical artistry from this area which has contributed to the culture of Buffalo and of the nation and to honor achievements of area artists who have created a musical legacy and we educate the public about those achievements.

 In addition to honoring outstanding musicians from the Western New York area and preserving our rich musical heritage the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame works to promote the music by sponsoring an Early Childhood Music Program in the Buffalo Public Schools. Through a grant administered by the Hall of Fame, workshops are presented by "Strings 'n' Things", a children's musical performance group to pre-kindergarten children at various schools. For many children this will be their first exposure to live musical performance.  One of our future goal is to  maintain a Hall of Fame facility including displays, plaques, memorabilia and other artifacts relating to the area's musical heritage. 

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.
