The Oregon Music Hall of Fame announced its 2012 inductees on Monday, July

the announcement. Among the inductees was the group Wheatfield.
Wheatfield was first formed in Eugene as a folk duo in October, 1971 by Pete Wolfe
and Will Hobbs. They soon became a quartet and their popularity grew as well over
the years throughout the Northwest, from all parts of Oregon and Washington to
British Columbia, Montana and Idaho.
