Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Joe Perry to be Inducted into Hollywood Bowl's Hall of Fame

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, original members of iconic rock band AEROSMITH, will be inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame at this year's Opening Night at the Hollywood Bowl, Saturday, June 22, at 8 pm. The songwriting team of Tyler and Perry have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and are the recipients of countless awards including four GRAMMYs, eight American Music Awards, six Billboard Awards and 12 MTV Video Music Awards, among many other honors. Tyler and Perry first appeared at the Hollywood Bowl in May of 1999, with subsequent appearances in 2002, 2006 and last year's sold-out performance.

Following their induction during this season's Hollywood Bowl Opening Night concert, Tyler and Perry will perform with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, led by Thomas Wilkins. Other special guests are to be announced.

Proceeds from the evening benefit the LA Phil and its education programs, which reach more than 120,000 children, teachers and adults every year.

Established in 2000, the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame identifies and pays tribute to artists whose unique achievements embody the spirit of the world-renowned Hollywood Bowl. The Hall of Fame is now part of an exhibit on the main floor of the Hollywood Bowl Museum that includes photos and film of inductees over the years. The "Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame" was conceived on behalf of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association by Wayne Baruch and Charles F. Gayton, who have created and produced all of the Hall of Fame opening concerts.
