Alabama, Steve Wariner, Don Everly and more to be honored
Some famous names – and some not-so-well-known names—were announced this afternoon, Tuesday, July 16, at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum. A group of musicians, media and fans gathered to hear guitar wizard Joe Bonamassa announce the 2019 inductees to the Musicians Hall of Fame. The inductees will be honored with a concert on October 22, 2019 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
Noting that he had recently moved to Nashville, Bonamassa wryly said, “I guess I’m part of the problem, not the solution.” He then announced the 2019 inductees.
This year’s inductees at the October ceremony will be:
- Felix Cavaliere – keyboardist with the (Young) Rascals
- Steve Wariner – guitarist and singer-songwriter
- The Surfaris – for the song “Wipe Out”
- Don Everly – of the Everly Brothers, who will receive the Iconic Riff Award
- ALABAMA – the band will receive the first ever Life Time Achievement Award
- The Original Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section – who started it all at Fame Studios
- The Nashville A-Team – the iconic session musicians
