The Columbus Blues Alliance holds its 2026 Hall of Fame Celebration on the Music Hall Stage at Natalie's Grandview on Sunday, October 11, starting at 6:30 p.m. Natalie's has flagged the night as low on remaining tickets.

The induction ceremony honors people who have kept the local blues scene going, and the music afterward leans on homegrown talent. Headliner Piper & the Hard Times won the band division of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2024. Al "Piper" Green, Steve Eagon and Dave Colella have played together in central Ohio for more than 20 years.

The evening opens with a band from 614BluesEd, a youth blues education program connected to the alliance. Pairing the newest students with a band that just won in Memphis is the point of the night, and it is a good way to see where Columbus blues is headed.
