Welcome.....
Through the years, as country music has evolved, we sometimes tend to forget about the pioneers in the industry who put their hearts and souls into making their special brand of music come alive in the Ottawa Valley. This website is dedicated to all of the exceptional individuals who have been inducted into The Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame for their contributions to making country music in the Valley what it is today. Enjoy your trip through the site and take the time, if you can, to visit each inductee's page with its biography and picture, as well as all of the other interesting areas. Please feel free to drop us a line and tell us what you think.
To establish a permanent Hall Of Fame and Museum for the storage, preservation, and public display of musical instruments and other artifacts and memorabilia pertaining to the composition, performance, recording, and transmission of country music in the Ottawa Valley and elsewhere in Canada;
To develop and promote public interest in country music and its history in the Ottawa Valley and Canada; and
To promote and encourage the active performance of country music through the organization of events at which it can be heard and enjoyed.
The Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall Of Fame was founded in 1980,
incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1987, and became a registered
charity in 1988.
The Hall of Fame annually inducts new members to recognize those who, in a variety of ways, have made
significant contributions to the furtherance of country music in the Ottawa
Valley and Canada.
Each year, a number of different prominent members of the Ottawa Valley
country music community are invited to sit on a Nominating Committee to select
potential honorees for that year. The Committee's recommendations are then
submitted to the Board of Directors for final approval.
Inducted Members (individual members only - not an entity) receive a photographic plaque, a duplicate of which is
retained by the Hall of Fame. A photograph of the plaque is also posted on the
Hall of Fame’s website along with biographical information on the inductee. In
addition, the inductees (individual members only - not an entity) receive a portrait of
themselves created by Canadian artist Lloyd Kearns.
