Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott has been tapped to host Leadership Music’s Dale Franklin Awards honoring Jo Walker-Meador, Steve Buchanan and Reba McEntire on Monday, Nov. 16.

Leadership Music will honor the three music industry luminaries at a gala cocktail reception, awards presentation and musical tribute beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Country Music Hall of Fame’s CMA Theater. Big Machine Label Group is the title sponsor for the 2015 event.

As CMA’s legendary former Executive Director, Meador will receive a new award named for Leadership Music’s Founding Council; Buchanan has been chosen as the recipient of the Brian Williams Ambassador Award; and McEntire will be honored with Leadership Music’s prestigious Dale Franklin Award.

“It’s always special to help recognize passionate people in our industry,” said Scott. “All three of these honorees have personally made amazing contributions not only in Nashville but have been part of sharing country music across the globe. I’m thrilled to have been asked to host and look forward to celebrating in a few weeks!”
