The Rhode Island Popular Music Archive and Hall of Fame.
Welcome to the homepage of The Rhode Island Popular Music Archive. Our mission is to celebrate and honor the work of the large number of nationally and internationally known musicians originating from our state.
We plan to feature biographies, discographies, photographs, rare music and memorabilia on each artists’ web page and in the coming months you can look forward to reading the stories of many notable musicians, song writers and producers such as:
- The kid from Olneyville who became one of the most celebrated trumpeters in history;
- The guys from Narragansett whose first album went double platinum;
- And the woman from Newport who wrote a #1 country record.
This website will be an ongoing, ever-growing project and we welcome suggestions, corrections, materials and anecdotal information.
We’re just getting started here so come back frequently for updates and additions.
Thanks for checking in.
