Oregon Music Hall of Fame Induction & Concert
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The 16th Annual Oregon Music Hall of Fame (OMHOF) Induction and Concert will feature The Delines, who formed in Portland in 2014 with Richmond Fontaine’s Willy Vlautin, Sean Oldham and Freddy Trujillo along with amazing vocalist Amy Boone from Austin’s The Damnations. Their debut album, Colfax, was an instant hit in Europe and appeared on over 20 top ten end-of-the-year lists in Europe and the US. Its follow-up, The Imperial, topped the UK Americana charts. Their 3rd release Sea Drift became the 11th-best record by UNCUT in 2022 and was number 17 best record by Rolling Stone France. The Delines will receive the Oregon Music Hall of Fame’s Album of the Year award on October 7.
Team Dresch was formed in 1993 with Donna Dresch, Jody Bleyle, Kaia Wilson and Marceo Martinez with the intent of creating an “all-dyke band” combining brazenness of the Riot Grrrl/Punk sound with the dirge of grunge and a window into the LGBTQ+ movement. They released their debut album in 19995, Personal Best in 1995. In 1996 Martinez was replaced on drums by Mellissa York, and they recorded the album Captain My Captain. They went their separate ways in 1998 but reunited in 2004 and have been rocking together ever since.
Andy Stokes has been sharing his soulful voice and musical mastery with the world for over three decades. A two-time OMHOF inductee with Cool’R and as a solo artist, Andy is known for his powerful vocals and live performances singing R&B. He has received airplay worldwide recently and has been touring North America. This has led Andy to earn the moniker “The Northwest King of Soul”.
The event will feature a live auction with autographed guitars from Patti Smith, Fleet Foxes, Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and more. Proceeds from this event help support OMHOF’s music in the schools’ program and our scholarship programs. This year’s master of ceremonies will be the fabulous Tony Starlight.
