Name Of The Fame: As reported this morning via Breaking News, the 2019 Country Music Hall of Fame inductees are Jerry Bradley (Non-Performer), Ray Stevens (Veteran Era Artist) and Brooks & Dunn (Modern Era Artist). Ryman Hospitalities WSM-AM/Nashville morning host and Grand Ole Opry announcer Bill Cody filled in for an ailing Reba McEntire as host of the morning's proceedings, and all inductees were on hand to accept the honor.

A member of a Nashville music industry dynasty, Bradley joins his father Owen and uncle Harold in the Hall, which brought the newest inductee to tears at the podium. "As my old friend, Norro Wilson, would say, I don't know how I got here, but I ain't leaving," said Bradley. "I want to thank the Country Music Association and the Country Music Hall of Fame for this great honor. I am surprised and emotional knowing that I'll be joining my dad and uncle in the Hall."

"This is, without a doubt, the greatest honor anyone could ever receive," said Stevens. "Not only in Nashville, but in any place in the world. It's almost too much to take in, being recognized as worthy of joining this group of folks ... I am seldom at a loss for words, but when they told me I was going to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, I was thoroughly caught by surprise."

"When you're a huge fan of country music, there's nothing more humbling," Kix Brooks said. "My idols are on that wall in there, so to think that Ronnie and I are going to be placed beside those guys is probably one of the coolest things I could ever imagine happening. I'm not sure I'll ever consider myself [their] peer." Adds Ronnie Dunn, "This means so much to us, and I will be honored to accept it, but I still don't think I'm ever gonna be able to believe it."

Bradley, Stevens and Brooks & Dunn will be celebrated at the annual invitation-only Medallion Ceremony later this year. Watch the entire press conference here.
