Congratulations to Marcia Ball! We're so happy for her, as well as that her health battles eased enough to allow her to attend in-person. We love Marcia Ball 💙💙💙

We were thrilled to welcome 2026 Blues Hall of Fame inductee Marcia Ball to the Blues Hall of Fame. Known for her signature blend of blues, boogie-woogie, R&B, and Gulf Coast soul, Ball has brought joy, energy, and unforgettable music to audiences for decades.
