The announcement came at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Musuem in Nashville, hosted by Hall of Fame member Vince Gill.

June Carter Cash will be inducted in the Veterans Era artist category. The Cash family said, “June’s place in country music is undeniable.” They said her contributions to country music span decades, from singing with her mother Maybelle Carter and her sisters, as well as on her own and with her beloved husband Johnny Cash. Cash family members said they were grateful and proud that June will be in the Hall of Fame.

Kenny Chesney is being inducted in the Modern Era artist category. The singer/songwriter has four Country Music Association and four Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year awards to his credit. He had his first Number One record in 1997 and has added 32 more to that since.

North Carolina native Tony Brown will be inducted in the Non-Performer category. He’s been a country music musician, producer and record label executive. Brown is also a six-time Grammy winner, a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.

Chesney, Carter Cash and Brown will be officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in a formal ceremony later this year.
