Norfolk County’s rich musical history will take centre stage this Thursday as the Norfolk Music Hall of Fame welcomes three new members.
The 2026 induction ceremony is taking this Thursday (November 5), at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Simcoe, celebrating three musicians who have made their mark both locally and internationally.
In May we spoke to Hall of Fame president Les Anderson who told us about this year’s inductees, describing all three as highly deserving of the recognition.
Tia McGraff is an internationally recognized, award-winning singer-songwriter and author who has spent years performing alongside her musical partner, Tommy. During a recent interview about her new book, McGraff also shared her thoughts on being inducted into the Norfolk Music Hall of Fame.
Ian Bell, a former curator at the Port Dover Museum, has been entertaining audiences across North America since the late 1970s, building a reputation for his wide range of musical talents.
Rory Dodd is a Canadian rock vocalist best known for his duet vocals on Bonnie Tyler’s iconic hit Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Now in its second year, the Hall of Fame continues to uncover and celebrate the incredible musical talent connected to Norfolk County.
Thursday’s ceremony will provide another opportunity to recognize the musicians who have helped put Norfolk County on the musical map.
Tickets are available through Eventbrite.
