On Tuesday, the Country Music Association unveiled the Country Music Hall of Fame's 2025 inductees during a press conference hosted by Vince Gill. The inductees include Tony Brown in the Non-Performer category, June Carter Cash in the Veterans Era Artist category posthumously, and Kenny Chesney in the Modern Era Artist category. CMA CEO Sarah Trahern praised their significant contributions to the genre. Brown expressed that the induction reflects true impact, while Cash's family emphasized her vital role in shaping the history and heritage of Country Music across generations.
This year's inductees embody the relentless drive and dedication that defines Country Music. Kenny, June and Tony have each left a lasting imprint on the genre, shaping its history with their contributions.
When you're producing No.1 records, you feel like you know what you're doing, but being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame - especially for someone as idealistic as me - makes it feel like you've truly made an impact.
June Carter Cash represents the whole cloth of Country Music, it's breadth and heritage. And June's place in Country Music is undeniable.
Her voice has been heard across the country and throughout much of the world, both with Mother Maybelle Carter, sisters Helen and Anita, and on her own.
