Breaking Benjamin and early 1970s hitmakers The Buoys were among several performers inducted into the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall Of Fame during the organization’s annual induction ceremony and awards event, which happened on Thursday night at the Hershey Theatre. Famous for their 1971 Top-20 hit song “Timothy,” The Buoys were the first band inducted during the first hour of the event; three of the group’s surviving members received the award and performed acoustic versions of both “Timothy” and their follow-up single, “Give Up Your Guns.” Guitarist Aaron Fink, bassist Mark Klepaski and drummer Jeremy Hummel received their induction and thanked the audience for their support during the past two decades, and the group Ignite The Fire performed a rendition of Breaking Benjamin’s “Breath.” Other inductees included the Harrisburg-based band The Legends, which Dan Hartman was affiliated with before he left to join the Edgar Winter Group, Harrisburg 1950s and 60s soul and R&B group The Quin-Tones, and 1970s pop and funk group The Maxwell Project. Meanwhile, Cody Tyler & Gypsy Convoy, Bobby Gentilo and Hunter Root were double-award winners during the 2022 Central Pennsylvania Music Awards presentation, which took place alongside Hall Of Fame inductions. Cody Tyler and his group won swards for Best Country Band and Album/Ep of the Year for their “Stare Your Demons Down” album. Harrisburg’s Bobby Gentilo won the awards for Best Blues Band and Best New Band. And Lancaster’s Hunter Root won the Best Songwriter award, while his band, Medusa’s Disco, captured the Best Rock Band award. For a total list of award winners, visit the website www.cpmhof.com.
