“Since our formation seven years ago, the artists who have created our musical history, as well as the Long Island community, have been exceptionally supportive of the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame and its efforts,” said James Faith, Chair of the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame Board. “This special event is an important step in the building of this Island’s newest music museum, educational center and home for our rich musicheritage. We are especially thrilled to have Long Island’s newest state of the art concert venue, The Paramount, host this great night.”
Inductees are selected by the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame Board Of Directors from an evolving and growing list of people, artists, and entities that were born, raised, founded, or have resided on geographic Long Island (Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk) for a significant portion of their career. Induction is based on historical importance and the significance of their contribution to Long Island’s rich musical heritage.
“Since the inception of the idea to build The Paramount, it has been our goal to support the growth of music and the arts on Long Island, said the owners of The Paramount. “We share similar goals with the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame in that The Paramount strives to showcase legends and encourage rising stars. We are honored to provide our support and open our doors to this the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame and Long Island music fans.”
