The late, acclaimed rocker and local music icon Dexter Romweber is among the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame’s 2025 class.

The Kannapolis-based institution released its latest inductees on Monday, with the longtime Chapel Hill resident Romweber included in its six-person class. The Hall of Fame called the guitarist “a defining figure of the Chapel Hill music scene who sparked a resurgence of rockabilly and the ‘power duo’ revival with his band Flat Duo Jets.”

Flat Duo Jets earned Romweber his reputation as an electric live performer and introduced his distinct underground rock sound in the 1980s and 1990s before breaking up. After going separate ways with Chris “Crow” Smith, Romweber released several solo albums and toured with other acts like Cat Power, Southern Culture on the Skids and Neko Case. He also went on to create the Dex Romweber duo with his sister, Sara Romweber, on drums.

Romweber and his music have been at the forefront of underground rockers’ and the music world’s mind in the last since since his death at 57 years old in February 2024. The Romweber family shared a post about Dexter’s induction on the musician’s Facebook page Monday, calling the honor “a powerful tribute to a life filled with creativity, purpose, and heart.”
