Jon’s role with The Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame and Museum
Jon Robberson has a deep passion for the history of Christian and Gospel music. Beyond his former role as a concert promoter, Jon is a contributing writer for the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame and an advocate, donor, and supporter of The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music in downtown Nashville.
The GMA Hall of Fame is housed within the museum, and a newly redesigned Hall Of Fame website will soon be online. Jon has donated numerous items from his personal collection to the museum and serves on its Advisory Committee. Although Celebration Concerts primarily promoted artists in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) segment of the Gospel music industry, several of the Hall of Fame biographies Jon has written were for Southern Gospel inductees, including The Blackwood Brothers, The Speer Family, and The LeFevres. He also authored the Hall of Fame biographies for The Imperials and Black Gospel pioneers Mahalia Jackson and Thomas A. Dorsey.
Jon Robberson has been a member of the Gospel Music Association for 47 years, placing him among the longest-serving members of the organization’s 2,500-member roster.
