Awards Show Highlights

The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum opened to the public June 9, 2006. The purpose of the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum is to recognize great musicians for their achievements whether they are unknown to the general public or have a following of millions. As visitors tour the museum, not only do they see and hear the instruments, but they learn about the musicians who played them.

Since the opening of the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, the Hall of Fame has sent ballots to professional musicians, producers, engineers, and music historians across the country requesting their nominations for inductees into the Musicians Hall of Fame. From this pool of nominees, the Musicians Hall of Fame Advisory Board chose the inaugural class for the 2007 inductees. The Musicians Hall of Fame’s inaugural class includes The Blue Moon Boys, The Funk Brothers, The Memphis Boys, The Nashville A-Team, The Tennessee Two, and The Wrecking Crew.
