"Keep the Music Playing"

The  Oswego Music Hall Fame is proud to announce its 2025 Induction  Ceremony. The 2025 Induction Ceremony will be held on Sunday, March 23,  at 1 PM at the Oswego Elks Lodge. The event will feature a delicious  buffet of ziti, meatballs, Italian bread, salad, coffee, and tea—all for  just $40 per person. There will be a cash bar during the event.  Adding  to the excitement, some of this year's inductees will provide live  entertainment, making it an afternoon of music, celebration, and  inspiration.
Your  tickets sales directly fund scholarships for High School Seniors, free  music lessons at local Oswego County music schools, and essential  resources like musical instruments for Oswego County children. With your  help, we can continue providing life-changing opportunities for young  musicians while honoring the incredible talent in our area.
Over  the years, we’ve achieved remarkable milestones, such as: Donating  hundreds of musical recorders to local elementary schools which are  often a child’s first musical experience. We have funded countless hours  of music lessons for students at local Oswego County music schools. We  have also awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships, including the  prestigious Joseph P. Spereno Scholarship for aspiring students pursuing  music in higher education.

The  2025 nominees will be announced this December 15th. We have a diverse  number of musical genres represented this year. The nominees range from  Rock, Blues, Country and Soloists. Oswego’s music history is rich with  exceptional performers like the 2025 award winners. This year’s winter  and past winners are deserving of recognition for their invaluable  contributions to Oswego County music scene. By honoring this year’s  nominees, we celebrate their dedication and the many hours that they  have devoted to enriching our lives through music. Induction into the  Oswego Music Hall of Fame is our way of giving something back to local  musicians and the Oswego music community that they have inspired.
New  board member Bill “Fuzzy” Wiltsie depicts what the Oswego Music Hall of  Fame does for the music community; “The OMHOF is totally a non-profit  organization and not one member receives a single cent for their time  and long hours behind the scenes doing everything they can for music and  musicians. Overall, the OMHOF is dedicated to helping all musicians of  all music genres and promoting the love and passion we all have for  music. This is why I decided to be involved with the OMHOF.”
This  memorable day will feature heartfelt performances by inductees as they  shine on their special day. It’s a unique opportunity for friends,  family, fans and public to witness the passion and artistry of the award  winters while celebrating the legacy of Oswego’s music community.
