About the Columbus Blues Alliance Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame is a recognition of the artists, promoters, producers, venue owners, and others who have made a lasting impact on the central Ohio blues community through their work, lives, and passion.

The Hall of Fame was established many years ago with two inaugural members: Christine Kittrell and Willie Pooch. We are now proud to include these outstanding individuals as our most recent Hall of Fame inductees:

Nominations can be submitted May 1 through June 30th each year

Members of the Hall of Fame are nominated by members of the Columbus Blues Alliance, following guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. The Submission Committee then vets the candidates’ eligibility and forwards those who pass on to the CBA Executive Committee, who discuss and vote on no more than three candidates, based on the information supplied to them by the nominators.
