East Aurora Music Hall of Fame
From garage bands to grand stages, the Greater East Aurora Music Hall of Fame celebrates the artists, educators, and visionaries who’ve shaped our community’s sound. Our mission is to preserve the stories, amplify the talent, and honor the legacy of those who make East Aurora a place where music truly moves us all.
Celebrating the Sounds of Our Community
The Greater East Aurora Music Hall of Fame celebrates East Aurora's rich musical heritage and continuing passion for music by annually honoring those with connections to our community whose contributions to music, locally and beyond East Aurora, are lasting and significant. We also award annual scholarship funds to students and educators who are dedicated to using music to further their own happiness and that of others.
“Music can change the world because it can change people. And when people change, communities do too.” - Bono
The Greater East Aurora Music Hall of Fame is guided by a volunteer board of lifelong music lovers who believe in the power of song to connect our community. Each member brings a unique rhythm to our shared mission of celebration and preservation.
