Kansas Music Hall of Fame

The Kansas Music Hall of Fame was established on January 15th, 2005 with our first induction ceremony at Liberty Hall, Lawrence, Kansas. At the podium, Governor Kathleen Sebelius read an official state proclamation making January 15th, 2005 “Kansas Music Hall of Fame Day.”

The mission of the Kansas Music Hall of Fame is to honor the music, musicians and related institutions that have made a significant contribution to Kansas and the Greater Kansas City area. Our purpose is to recognize those of the past, present and encourage those of the future.

Each year starting July 1st we have a Voice Your Choice Membership Kick-Off which is a vote by the membership to select next year’s inductees. Click on Become a Member Select a member/donor category. You will receive an electronic ballot and other benefits.

We like to make it easy for our members and partners to plan ahead. Monthly sustained contributions help to promote the fiscal responsibility of our organization. You are welcome to participate through our monthly giving plan. See Become a Member. We also accept donations
