IF YOU ARE AN ARTIST or fan whose roots are in rockabilly music, please consider supporting this web site. Many performers claim that rockabilly got them started in music and they owe their career to the influence of early rockers. If that's true, here is a chance to prove it. Contribute to the preservation of rockabilly now. Several veteran artists have said that the Rockabilly Hall of Fame has helped resurrect their careers ... that's great! So, if you can afford it, it's payback time (and tax deductible)! We've been here over eight years with the same goals: to help and promote the veteran and young rockabilly artists ... and to carry the genre's history to fans around the world. Where are you? Like the Killer says. "Think about it!"

THE QUESTION MOST ASKED:
Is there a special criteria or maximum number of inductees into the Hall of Fame per year?
Answer: This Internet based Hall of Fame is different than most. Our main goal is to give recognition to many artists, sidemen and other important individuals who made the whole rockabilly (rock) scene happen in the first place. We add names from time to time as we discover them, often they are unknowns to many of us, but still important enough for world-wide recognition they will never get anywhere else. Don't look here for the just the best, because our arms are open wide to embrace all early rockers that made the difference in a large or small way. This is a "people" Hall of Fame where the friends, fans, relatives (especially the children and grandchildren) of roots artists can gather, learn and have fun. PLUS...we have an open door policy toward welcoming new talent.
-Bob Timmers, curator.

This site is dedicated to all the early rockers, living or dead.
Those who showed us the way to make people happy through their music.
God bless 'em all!
