Artist Bio
On Thursday, November 3, the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (LIMHoF) is proud to present its Sixth Induction Awards Ceremony and Fundraising Gala with a star-studded red carpet event at The Space at Westbury.
Join us as we celebrate Long Island and present our 2016 Class of Inductees. The evening will feature a variety of celebrity appearances, tributes, musical performances and visits from past inductees.
This years’ class of inductees includes legendary music executive Charles Koppelman, guitarist and composer Steve Vai, singer/songwriter Garland Jeffreys, film composer Carter Burwell, hip-hop performer Big Daddy Kane, legendary songwriters/instrumentalists Santo & Johnny, early jazz specialist/bandleader Vince Giordano, and Westbury Music Fair, now the NYCB Theater at Westbury. The LIMHoF will also present the 2016 Harry Chapin Award to Steven Van Zandt for his dedication to music education on Long Island and across the country. Additionally, LIMHoF will honor the 2015 and 2016 Music Educators of Note -- Long Island public or private school educators who have demonstrated an exceptional and long-term commitment to music education, as well as Long Island music students.
Proceeds from the 2016 Induction Ceremony & Red Carpet Fundraising Gala will support the building of its first brick and mortar museum, as well as a variety of Long Island centric music education intitiatives designed and administered by LIMHoF. This will include the support of its newest project, The Long Island Music Hall of Fame’s “Tour Bus”, a mobile music education museum, which will travel to school districts and private schools across Long Island with full-immersive and interactive exhibits. Proceeds will also assist with our annual scholarship program, awarded to graduating High School seniors who have shown an interest in pursuing a career in music.
Past Induction Ceremony attendees have included: Billy Joel, Lou Reed, LL Cool J, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Eddie Money, Joan Jett, Clive Davis, Johnny Maestro & the Brooklyn Bridge, members of KISS, Paul Shaffer, Leslie West & Mountain, Roger Waters, Blue Oyster Cult, Taylor Dayne, Little Anthony, Laurie Anderson, Charlie Daniels, Al Kooper, Salt N Pepa, Vanilla Fudge, Alec Baldwin, the family of Aaron Copland, Public Enemy, members of Dream Theater, Ron Delsener, and many more.
The Long Island Music Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and New York State-accredited museum organization dedicated to the idea that our musical heritage is an important resource to be preserved for future generations. LIMHoF is a place to inspire in each person the desire to explore and celebrate music in all its forms and a place where the music community will find the support, resources and leadership necessary to aid them in that exploration. By recognizing the rich music history of the region through our inductees, we are able to provide world-wide notoriety to the Long Island community.
