Music City Walk of Fame, presented by founding sponsor Gibson Guitar, will induct superstar artists Kix Brooks and Alan Jackson, clothing designer Manuel, Gospel singer and national television host Dr. Bobby Jones, Queen of Gospel Music Dottie Rambo, guitar innovator Les Paul and late newsman Dan Miller. The induction of this class will bring the total number of stars along the Walk of Fame to 58.
The honorees will be recognized with the unveiling of commemorative sidewalk markers on Sunday, Nov. 6, at 12:00 p.m. in Walk of Fame Park in downtown Nashville. Sponsored by GAC, the ceremony is free and open to the public.
The program’s newest partner, Durango, sponsors two stars annually and has added a charitable component to the program. Many of the past inductees have autographed and decorated a pair of Durango boots, which will be auctioned online during December at visitmusiccity.com. All proceeds will benefit the Music City Inc. Foundation to sustain and grow the Walk of Fame event.
Nominations were open to the public and were accepted in the categories of Artist, Musician, Songwriter, and Producer/Music Industry Executive. Application forms were reviewed by the Music City Walk of Fame anonymous selection committee.
