FLORENCE-General table sponsorships and individual tickets for the Alabama Music Hall of Fame’s black tie induction banquet on Feb. 28 will be available after the title sponsor tables have been finalized and the organizers can determine how many seats remain, board treasurer Lee Sentell says.
Table sales and individual ticket sales for the event at the Marriott Shoals Conference Center will commence the week
of January 6 and should be completed by mid-January. Some additional seats in a theater-style setting where large-screen monitors show the action in the main hall will also be available, Sentell said.
“Since this is the first time the gala will be in the Shoals, we know the event will sell out. The success of the ‘Muscle Shoals” documentary has generated additional interest outside the region as well,” he said.

Goals of the evening are to raise money to sustain the Hall of Fame and celebrate achievements of the inductees and past and present Shoals musicians, he added.
“This is going to be a memorable evening that people will talk about for years,” said Sentell, who directs the Alabama Tourism Department. Gov. Robert Bentley instructed the agency to fund the reopening of the museum in October.
Ticket sales will be managed through the Florence/Lauderdale Tourism office. The phone number is 888-356-8687 or 256-740-4141.
