The Biddeford Cultural and Heritage Center (BCHC) has announced the Greater Biddeford-Saco Music Hall of Fame Class of 2025 featuring musicians and musical artists from all of York County.

Although there were many worthy candidates, only five inductees were selected this year. Members of the 2025 Greater Biddeford-Saco Music Hall of Fame include the Corona Brothers, Marc Hebert, Jimsonweed, Ric Roy, and Rush.

The ceremony will be held at the Biddeford Middle School Performing Arts Center on May 4, at 2 p.m. Doors will be open for ticket sales at noon and theater doors will open for seating at 1 p.m. 

 

In addition to the 2025 inductees, the event will feature the Hall of Fame All-Star Band with Camille Saucier as Musical Director. The All-Star Band will perform, and they will also back up the inductees performing during the ceremony. The event will feature more music this year than last year.

Local businesses and vendors will be present in the hallway, concessions will be available before the ceremony, as well as during intermission, and there will be entertainment in the hall prior to the event. A Meet and Greet Event will be held in the cafeteria immediately after the ceremony, allowing time to talk with the new inductees and photo opportunities.

This year’s event will also feature a raffle for a Gibson Les Paul Guitar ($2800 value) donated by Gibson Gives. The lucky winner will be announced at the conclusion of the Induction Ceremony. Raffle tickets can be obtained by emailing music@biddefordcultural.org or on the BCHC website at https://biddefordculturalandheritagecenter.org/

Advanced ticket sales for the show are available online and at Midtown Music until May for $10. Tickets sold at the door will be available for $15.

“Last year’s show was such a great success and far exceeded our expectations with over 700 attending,” said Diane Cyr, BCHC president, “Due to the large turnout, there were some unexpected delays, but it was still great, and we learned from this. This year’s check-in will be much smoother and having more music will make it more exciting and fun! So happy we get to do this again!”
