More Info from the Country Music Hall of Fame :

Non-Performer - Tony Brown

Born in North Carolina and schooled as a keyboard player in the topnotch road bands of Elvis Presley and Emmylou Harris, Tony Brown became a key record executive in shaping the sound of modern country music. As a record producer, he supervised many best-selling recordings by Country Music Hall of Fame members Vince Gill, Wynonna Judd, Patty Loveless, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Marty Stuart, and others. As a label executive and talent scout at MCA Records, he also brought daring, outsider talents into mainstream country music, including Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett, the Mavericks, and Kelly Willis.

Veterans Era Artist - June Carter Cash

June Carter Cash was a vibrant presence in country music for over sixty years as a singer, comedienne, and songwriter. She began performing at age ten in 1939, singing with her mother, Maybelle Carter of the Carter Family, and her two sisters on Mexican border radio. Mother Maybelle & the Carter Sisters later starred on the Grand Ole Opry and joined Johnny Cash’s roadshow. June Carter wrote more than 100 songs, including “Ring of Fire,” a #1 hit for Cash, whom she married in 1968. They recorded several hit duets, including “Jackson” and “If I Were a Carpenter,” both of which won Grammys.

Modern Era Artist - Kenny Chesney

A former high school athlete from Luttrell, Tennessee, Kenny Chesney parlayed a resonant baritone voice and a competitive spirit into one of the biggest careers in country music since the year 2000. He has earned sixteen platinum albums, more than fifty Top Ten country hits, and twenty-three #1s on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Among his best-known hits are “The Good Stuff,” “There Goes My Life,” and “The Boys of Fall,” all of which crossed over to the pop charts. A perennial top touring attraction, he’s been voted the CMA Entertainer of the Year four times—2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
