Kenny Chesney has lived out big dreams in his storied career, but one that he says even he didn’t dare to dream is now coming true: He’s going in the Country Music Hall of Fame!
"I promise you, I did not see this coming,” the 56-year-old superstar told an invitation-only audience of about 200 who gathered Tuesday morning in the Hall of Fame rotunda in Nashville for the public announcement.
Joining Chesney in the Hall of Fame class of 2025 are two more of the genre’s luminaries: the late June Carter Cash, a member of the foundational Carter family who will enter the hall 45 years after her husband, Johnny Cash; and Tony Brown, a member of Elvis Presley's band who went on to become among Music Row’s most influential producers.
Producer Tony Brown joins the Hall of Fame class in the non-performer category, and his entry brings the hallowed number up to 158.
Gill lauded Brown, a longtime friend, mentor and collaborator, noting his role in advancing his own career, as well as other Hall of Fame members, including Wynonna Judd, Patty Loveless, Reba McEntire, George Strait and Marty Stuart.
“I’ve had other big things happen in my life, in my career,” Brown said in his remarks. “This is the biggest. … This is better than money. You make records, and you make some money. But this is better than money. This is about making an impact, and when it comes right down to it, that’s the reason we all get into this business.”
Chesney, Carter Cash and Brown will be formally inducted into the Hall of Fame in a ceremony in October.
