The event promises a captivating experience with performances and appearances by esteemed artists such as Lyle Lovett, Miranda Lambert, Emmylou Harris, and Ronnie Dunn, among others.

Renowned Texas guitarist Eric Johnson, recognized as one of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock over the past four decades, will be among the honored inductees. Johnson's journey from an underground guitar legend to an international phenomenon will be celebrated. His groundbreaking albums, including the highly acclaimed 1986 debut "Tones" and the platinum-selling 1990 release "Ah Via Musicom," have solidified his place in the guitar pantheon.

Jack Ingram, a veteran of the Texas music scene, will be recognized for his over two decades of uncompromising song craft and dynamic live performances. As a multi-award winner, including honors from the Academy of Country Music, Jack Ingram has not only made an impact in the industry but has also contributed significantly to charitable causes, exemplified by his involvement in the Mack, Jack & McConaughey nonprofit organization.

Jon Randall, a GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award winner, has left an indelible mark on the music business with his versatile roles as a songwriter, guitarist, and acclaimed producer. Randall's influence spans country, bluegrass, and Americana, from his early days with Emmylou Harris’s Nash Ramblers to his solo career and prolific collaborations.

Hailing from Gause, Texas, Ruthie Foster’s journey from a gospel-singing family to becoming a blues sensation will be celebrated. With multiple Grammy nominations, Blues Music Awards, and other accolades, Foster has proven herself as an inspiring American artist with a commanding stage presence.

Terry McBride, born and raised in Texas, has traversed a musical journey from being a sought-after bass player to the co-founder of McBride & The Ride. McBride's impressive songwriting credits, with over 25 songs recorded by Brooks & Dunn, showcase his enduring impact on the country music landscape.

Tanya Tucker's incredible journey spans outlaws, movie stardom, rodeo, songwriting, fashion, and guitar prowess. From late-night scenes to Super Bowl Halftime shows, Studio 54 to The Opry, and awards in the '70s, '90s, and '20s, with #1 records in every decade except the 2010s, her exceptional career reflects a life rich in experience, creativity, and raw vulnerability that allows her to write her own story and create her renaissance.
