Law Firms Recognized, Steve Wariner Honored, 2 Staffers Leave rpm
(L-R): Rep. Charles Sargent, Rep. Glen Casada, Steve Wariner, and Caryn Wariner
The Tennessee State Legislature honored Steve Wariner on May 28 with Senate Joint Resolution 469. The resolution recognizes Wariner as “a Renaissance man by any standard…a recording artist, touring performer, songwriter, publisher, producer, record executive, an avid painter and a true humanitarian” and commends him “for the significant contributions he has made to the growth of country music.” The resolution also commends Wariner for honoring Chet Atkins with his upcoming release, Steve Wariner. c.g.p., My Tribute to Chet Atkins, and for giving a benefit concert on July 7 at the Loveless Barn for the Chet Atkins Music Education Fund.
