In Photos: Country Music Hall of Fame Class of 2014

April 23, 2014/by Jessica Nicholson

The Country Music Association announced Tuesday (April 22) that Hank Cochran, Ronnie Milsap, and Mac Wiseman will be the newest inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The announcement was made during a press conference in the rotunda of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
Cochran will be inducted in the rotating “Songwriter” category, while Milsap will join in the “Modern Era Artist” category and Wiseman joins in the “Veterans Era Artist” category. All three will be inducted during the Medallion Ceremony that will be held later this year at the CMA Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame.
