Tom T. Hall enters Country Music Hall of Fame
This past Sunday evening, Tom T. Hall was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, along with the Statler Brothers.
Tom T. has long been associated with bluegrass music. He got his start playing in a bluegrass band. He spent many years as the storyteller of country music, but in more recent years he has been writing songs for various bluegrass artists. He started his own label a few years ago, Good Homegrown Music, to produce and promote bluegrass music.
At Hall’s request, the red carpet saw many bluegrass stars Sunday night. In attendance were: Michelle Nixon, Dailey & Vincent, Heather Berry, Earl Scruggs, Larry Stephenson, Charlie Sizemore, Chris Jones, Alecia Nugent, Roni Stoneman and Judy Marshall.
The director of the Hall of Fame and Museum, Kyle Young, narrated the evening and shared that Hall had once confessed that
…the best music he ever heard and ever played was under a tree with a bluegrass band.
CMT News has the full story with details.
Congratulations to Tom T. Hall, it’s a well deserved honor!
