After more than two long years of waiting to honor our inaugural class of inductees, The California Music Hall Of Fame cordially invites you to join us as the Golden State comes together for an evening of celebration and great music. Our Induction Ceremony Gala will honor its class of inductees on Saturday, January 28, 2023, at TVHS Golden Bears Theater located at 31555 Rancho Vista Road in Temecula, CA. The ceremony was postponed and ultimately canceled a few times. To this, the California Music Hall Of Fame will host its first-ever double induction ceremony in a one-night extravagant event hosted by T. J. Rosenman.

​

This year’s class of inductees features a diverse group of music legends and collaborators. Join us as we celebrate, honor, and induct William Shatner, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Wrecking Crew Express, Brent Payne, Canned Heat, Beach St. AGoGo, Surf City AllStars, Jan & Dean, Mighty Cash Cats, Skip Taylor, Kings Of Karma, Jenni Rivera, Little Feat, Ritchie Valens, and KOST 103.5, and a few surprise guests.

​

This extraordinary event will bring together music artists, music executives, elected officials, record labels, VIPs, fans, friends, families, and many surprise guests for an evening of celebration and great music. The gala ceremony will reflect an awards show format which will include inductees accepting their introduction and performances by some of the inductees. Seating for the induction ceremony will be theater style with the inductees seated in a special section. VIP arrival is 4:15-4:45 PM. The induction Ceremony starts at 5:00 PM. There are a limited number of tickets available for $42.50 each or $30.00 each for veterans, first responders, or teachers with IDs. For more information or to purchase tickets please contact Darcy Prentiss at hello@californiamusichalloffame.com. Tickets are nonrefundable and there are no reserved seating.

This long-awaited induction ceremony also marks the beginning of the journey we embark upon to accomplish the establishment of the California Music Hall Of Fame Music Center, which will pay tribute to and preserve California musical legacy and foster continued growth of California’s music, cultivating new opportunities and reducing barriers for female music artists.

The California Music Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony will be a vibrant oasis: an experience that will stay with our guests long after the ceremony is over. Our Induction Ceremony is for our inductees and it’s for you.

"Wrecking Crew Express  was  the perfect band for my wife’s 60th birthday, our guests are still talking about how awesome the band was."

"The band manager was great to work with, I was able to book them less than ten days before the party and everything worked out perfect. 

I Highly recommend this band, I will use them again."

Wrecking Crew Express brings down the house.

I can not even keep track of how many standing ovations this fantastic, great, professional, awesome, best ever band had. These are just some of the adjectives describing how the audience enjoyed the Wrecking Crew Express and wanted to know when they would be back. The joint was jumping. They had people up and dancing that haven't moved in years. One woman that had cerebral palsy and had never danced (except sitting in a chair) was so moved that she stood up grabbed the chair for support and danced.I could go on and on. Wrecking Crew Express WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I thought I  was listening to Janis Joplin"      “A trip back to the  60's, gave us the  concert of the year”  
                  "great show,  opened, but were the headliners"  .    

Great Band!

We had Wrecking Crew Express perform at our house for a B-Day party on Saturday. They blew us away with how awesome they are as singers and musicians. The three lead singers were fabulous. Gary was so easy to work with and organized everything for us. We had a crowd of about 60 people. Everyone I talked to was blown away at the quality of the music. Strongly recommend!

More than I expected! My guests were so pleased!

The Wrecking Crew stayed in communication with me, showed up on time, helped with room set up, and dazzled my guests with their musical talent. Not only was their music incredible, their sensitivity to the event and kindness to my husband and me while performing will never be forgotten. I couldn't recommend a band more for any event that you want to have a good time and dance with gusto!

Hired as:
1960s Era Entertainment, 1970s Era Entertainment, Cover Band, Dance Band, Party Band, Tribute Band, Classic Rock Band

Response from Wrecking Crew Express:

Thank you for the kind review. We had a wonderful time. We love it when the guests have fun also! What a fun time, you sure put on a fantastic party. We will also remember the fun times , we love it when we feel we made new friends for life!
