Country star Carly Pearce has been honoured to become a member of the Kentucky Hall of Fame following the release of her third studio album, "29: Written In Stone"
Carly Pearcet's nomination will pass 28 October at Renfro Valley. Other nominees this year are Nora Lee Allen (Grand Ole Opry background vocalist), Tommy White (Steel Guitar Hall of Fame) and songwriter Marty Brown. There are also two posthumous nominations for Bluegrass songwriter Pete Goble and producer Paul Yandell.
Last spring, the country star also became the hero of the exhibitions at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Kentucky is where I learned to love country music and the incredibly talented musicians who weave their stories and texture into the genre," Pearce said in a statement. 'From the outspoken audacity of The Judds and Patty Loveless or Loretta Lynn's genuine understanding of heartache to the bluegrass tinge of Ricky Skaggs and Bill Monroe, their influences have made weighty contributions to the development of my music. I am so excited and grateful to be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame this autumn."
Pearce has previously earned acclaim among various critics and peers by winning Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2021 CMA Awards in November. The artist also picked up two wins at the ACM Awards last April, including Single of the Year for her collaborative track with Lee Brice, "I Hope You're Happy Now."
In February, Pearce was announced nominee at the 2022 ACM Awards on 7 March, where she was nominated for Album of the Year. She also made her debut on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in January, where she performed a rock version of her single "Diamondback".
Fans can hear Pierce play "Diamondback" along with other songs from new album "29: Written In Stone" during her following 'The 29 Tour', which kicks off on 10 March in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Starting in April, fans will be able to see Pearce warm up for Kenny Chesney as part of the "Here and Now" tour.
