Dixie Hall will be honored during the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s ninth annual Louise Scruggs Memorial Forum, slated for Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 6:30 p.m.

The event will take place in the CMHoF’s Ford Theater.

Hall, who died on Jan. 16, 2015, was a songwriter, record label owner, publisher, and music journalist. An IBMA Distinguished Achievement Award honoree, Hall is the most-recorded female songwriter in bluegrass history. Additionally, she was creative partner to her husband of 46 years, Country Music Hall of Fame member Tom T. Hall. Dixie also spearheaded the “Daughters of Bluegrass” projects, which highlighted the contributions of female performers and songwriters to the bluegrass genre.

The Louise Scruggs Memorial Forum will include interviews with colleagues, and live performances of songs penned by Hall. Those in attendance will include Sierra Hull, Rita Forrester (granddaughter of A.P. and Sara Carter), Carl Jackson, Chris Jones, Heather Berry-Mabe, and more.

Previous honorees are Denise Stiff, Liz Thiels, Mary Martin, Bonnie Garner, Sarah Trahern, Nancy Shapiro, Kay Clary, and Jo Walker-Meador.
