Jerry Bradley, Ray Stevens, and Brooks & Dunn were borne into the Country Music Hall of Fame Sunday evening (Oct. 20) on the wings of songs performed by Ricky Skaggs, Luke Bryan, Trisha Yearwood, Travis Tritt, Marty Stuart, Brothers Osborne, Old Crow Medicine Show, Yola, the McCrary Sisters and the Medallion All-Star Band.<\/p>\n

Formally known as the Medallion Ceremony, in reference to the ribboned medals awarded inductees, the event was held in the CMA Theater of the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum. Museum CEO Kyle Young officiated.<\/p>\n

As is traditional, the proceedings opened with the playing of a country song from the Museum\u2019s Bob Pinson Collection. This time it was Mac Wiseman\u2019s \u201c\u2019Tis Sweet to be Remembered.\u201d Young asked for a moment of silence to honor the Hall of Fame members who had died during the past year, a group that included Wiseman, Roy Clark, Maxine Brown (of The Browns), studio musician Harold Bradley and producer Fred Foster.<\/p>\n
