The Eddies Hall of Fame

Celebrating the Capital Region music scene

The Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Hall of Fame honors those who have made outstanding contributions to the evolution, development and perpetuation of the music industry in the capital region.

Located on the first floor at Universal Preservation Hall, The Eddies Hall of Fame is a testament to the incredible music scene we have here in Upstate New York.

Artists perform and winners accept awards during The Eddies, the first annual celebration of Capital Region music at Proctors Sunday, April 14, 2019.

The process

Each year, a new class of honorees is selected by the Capital Region Thomas Edison voting committee. The committee is made up of people entrenched in the local music world including club owners, sound technicians, educators, journalists, and performers.

The Eddies

Honorees are recognized and formally inducted during The Eddies awards held each spring.
