NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Three musicians were recognized for their lasting impact on country music during their formal induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame Sunday.
The Medallion Ceremony was held Oct. 19 at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater in downtown Nashville.
Kenny Chesney was inducted into the Modern Era Artist category for his achievements during “one of the biggest careers in country music since the year 2000,” according to organizers. Throughout his career, he has been voted CMA Entertainer of the Year four times, earned 16 platinum albums, more than 50 Top Ten country hits and topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart 23 times.
Singer June Carter Cash was honored in the Veterans Era Artist category, joining several of her family members in the Hall of Fame. Daughter of singer Maybelle Carter from the Carter Family, Cash began performing in 1939 at 10 years old. Over the course of her more than 60-year career in country music, she starred on the Grand Ole Opry, wrote numerous hit songs, and won five Grammys, including two alongside her husband Johnny Cash.
Music producer Tony Brown was inducted into the non-performer category, honored for his contribution to the genre through his work on best-selling records from Vince Gill, Wynonna Judd, Patty Loveless, Reba McEntire, George Strait, and more. He later went on to serve as an executive and talent scout for MCA Records.
During the ceremony attendees heard performances from several country music stars such as Eric Church, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Kelsea Ballerini and more. The event ended with a performance from John Anderson of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” by the Carter Family.
