Illinois Entertainer

Media: August 2023 • Road to Rock’s New Class

The Illinois Rock and Roll Museum on Route 66 is going to induct a new class to the Hall of Fame on September 17. This year’s musical acts include Earth Wind & Fire, the Cryan Shames, the Shadows of Knight, Nat King Cole, and Miles Davis. John Prine is being inducted into the songwriting category.

“Despite the words rock and roll being in the title,” Chairman of the Board Ron Romero points out, “we also include other musical genres. And it’s not just the artists themselves. Outside of musicians, we are also honoring disc jockey Bob Sirott and The Loop radio station for their support of the Illinois music community. Alligator Records will be honored as well.”

There are a few guidelines for what makes someone eligible for induction.
