Trudy Lynn Inducted Into Houston Music
Hall of Fame
The artists and
the fans came out to celebrate
Houston, TX – The
stars came out big and bright deep in the heart of Texas as the annual
Houston Press Music Awards ceremony came to life and the evening did
not fail to excite those in attendance. The event location,
Warehouse Live, well known as the premiere spot for both national and
local talent, played host to the 2015 HP Music Awards
ceremony. It was a virtual sea of who’s who within the music
community from start to finish. On this particular evening, on
top of the evening’s many well deserved genre’ specific award
presentations, the Houston Press would also induct one
of the world’s greatest traditional blues singers, Ms Trudy
Lynn, into the much celebrated Houston Music Hall of Fame.
Among those on hand to witness the various music award announcements as
well as the inductions into the Houston Music Hall of Fame were
John and Irene Deck Jr. John, who is a Board Member on the
Memphis based international Blues Foundation, had this to share about
Trudy Lynn being inducted into the Music Hall of Fame, “Six time Blues
Music Award Nominee Trudy Lynn epitomizes the blues. The emotion
conveyed by her powerful voice reaches deep within one’s soul. I
can think of no one that deserves this recognition for her
contributions to the blues and the Houston music scene more than
Trudy. On behalf of myself, my wife Irene, and the Blues
Foundation, we congratulate Trudy Lynn for being inducted into the
Houston Music Hall of Fame.”
Special Note: 2014 saw the meteoric rise of the Connor Ray Music
release of Trudy Lynn’s “Royal Oaks Blues Café”. The release shot
to number one on Billboard’s Blues Album chart and was also in the top
five for four months in a row on the widely respected Living Blues
chart. John Abbey, COO, Connor Ray Music, commented, “All of
us at Connor Ray are very excited for Trudy as her induction into the
Houston Music Hall of Fame represents yet another well deserved
milestone in Trudy’s career. The woman is unbelievable, a
tremendous talent of course. You can feel the very raw emotion
she releases in her songs. This is a wonderful night to remember”
