The Alabama Blues Hall of Fame is a local chapter of the Blues Hall of Fame, a website founded in 1999 by Dan Marolt of San Francisco, California to honor blues musicians with an online "eMuseum" and various induction events hosted by local "blues ambassadors" at clubs around the world.
The program is a operated under a fiscal sponsorship basis with the Virginia-based non-profit "United Charitable". It is not affiliated with the Memphis, Tennessee-based non-profit Blues Foundation, which operates a brick-and-mortar Blues Hall of Fame Museum.
The Alabama Blues Hall of Fame held its 2023 and 2024 induction ceremonies, hosted by Jim Newport, at Carmichael's Night Club in the Westgate Shopping Center in Thomas.
