A place to celebrate music and honor the people who create it

Early in 2009 Rochester musician Karl LaPorta asked himself why his hometown did not have a Music Hall of Fame. Being a persistent guy with a strong vision, he decided to make it happen.

The result has been a grassroots movement to ensure the people in our community never forget the musicians, composers, promoters and venues that have made this city a music haven and those who’ve contributed to music throughout the world.

Right now people from diverse backgrounds are working to build an online community, capture the music history of Rochester, plan an event for the first inductees and ultimately find a brick-and-mortar home for the Rochester Music Hall of Fame. From New York Senator Joe Robach to Rochester radio legend Brother Wease to event producer Jeff Springut to musicians and longtime music supporters, they have joined together because they love Rochester and they love music.

Please join us.
