The Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum (RHOFM) celebrates the music of the past and present with a new partnership that is nothing short of futuristic. It involves the web3 space and frankly, many of the terms that would surely leave iconic stars of the 1950's --- and their fans --- scratching their heads; terms like "NFT," "cryptocurrency," "digital," "blockchain," and "internet-based."

Key Points: 
  • Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum announces the minting of a limited release, Elvis Presley NFT.
  • In cooperation with a wildly inventive little internet entity called Pepe Ape Yacht Club, (PAYC) the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum, (and the allied Rockabilly Artists Alliance ), a registered 501c3 that celebrates and promotes Rockabilly music, is rolling out never-before-seen-or-experienced digital collectibles, called "NFTs."
  • It the initial rollout, images and sound bites, many never before seen or heard, come from the Elvis Presley collection owned exclusively by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum.
  • The Pepe Ape Yacht Club has established a huge following in the Web3 arena with offerings that are truly new and innovative in the digital marketplace.
