Portland indie folk band Blitzen Trapper will be gaining a huge achievement in their career this fall.

Yesterday, it was announced the band will be inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame alongside a lineup including Laura Viers, Exploding Hearts, Tony Lash (Heatmiser), Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists), and The Obituaries. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, October 12 at the Aladdin Theater.

Vocalist Eric Earley said this about the induction:

“It's a real honor to be chosen for induction to the OR music hall of fame. Having lived in Oregon my whole life and watched the music scene's ever changing evolution over many years, it's so great to be a part of that history and the fabulous sounds generated in this weird, unique corner of the world!”

Blitzen Trapper also announced a slew of new headlining tour dates in support of their new album 100's of 1000's, Millions of Billions.
