Photo Special: Country Music Hall of Fame Inductees

March 2, 2011/0 Comments/in Featured /by Sarah Skates

The Country Music Association announced yesterday (3/1) that Bobby Braddock, Reba McEntire, and Jean Shepard will become the newest members of the coveted Country Music Hall of Fame. The announcement was made by Kix Brooks during a private press event in the Rotunda of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Reba was unable to be present, as she remains with her family at her father’s side in an Oklahoma hospital.
Induction ceremonies for Braddock, Reba, and Shepard will take place at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum later this year. Since 2007, the Museum’s Medallion Ceremony, an annual reunion of the Hall of Fame membership, has served as the official rite of induction for new members.
