Roy Orbison’s impact is still being felt today in rockabilly, country, and rock and roll. Orbison had numerous hits during his career, a career that saw him earn six Grammy Awards, including one for Lifetime Achievement. In 1987 he was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 1989 he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Tickets for the concert and induction event are $50 and $100, and are on sale now. Check here.
