Who we are

About Us

The Delaware Rock and Roll Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and promoting the rich legacy of rock and roll in the First State. Founded in 2018, the Society was created to shine a spotlight on the musicians, bands, industry professionals, and behind the scenes contributors who have shaped Delaware’s vibrant music culture.

What began as the Delaware Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has grown into a dynamic cultural organization committed to honoring the past while inspiring the future of music in our community.

Our Mission

Our mission is to recognize and celebrate Delaware’s rock and roll heritage by:

  • Honoring outstanding musicians and contributors through our annual induction ceremonies

  • Preserving local music history through archives, storytelling, and memorabilia

  • Promoting live music and community engagement across the state

  • Inspiring future generations through education and outreach

We believe every artist has a story worth telling and every note played in Delaware has helped shape the sound of rock and roll.
