The Valley Music Hall of Fame Kickoff Event was held on March 30, 2019 at Fulton 55 as a means to introduce ourselves to the community, explain our purpose and solicit the first round of nominations. The show was well attended and achieved the goal of creating a buzz about the VMHOF.
Performers who dedicated their time and talent to demonstrate the broad range of genres the VMHOF hopes to honor included: The David Aus Trio, Evo Bluestein with Steve Ono, Patrick Contreras, Debi Ruud and the Lost Souls, and the Tower Quartet. The evening also featured a special presentation to honor the legendary “Elvis of the Accordion,” the late Dick Contino.
