Academy of Country Music 2009 Entertainer of the Year and four-time Grammy winner Carrie Underwood will be inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in September, NewsOK is reporting.
Oklahoma artists and performers Rocky Frisco and Ramona Reed also will be inducted into the state music hall this fall.
The 2009 inductees were announced Monday at a news conference at the Tulsa Press Club. Checotah’s favorite daugther and the other inductees will perform at the 13th Annual Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Concert at 7 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Muskogee Civic Center, 405 Boston Street.
“All three of this year’s inductees are worthy recipients of this honor. Each is recognized world wide for their musical talent, and we are proud that each calls Oklahoma home,” said Max Boydstun, Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame Board Chair, in the NewsOK story.
“We are especially proud to induct our own Oklahoma idol Carrie Underwood and to offer the public a chance to experience the performances of all three inductees to celebrate their contribution to Oklahoma music history and culture,” he added, referring to Underwood’s fourth season win on “American Idol.”
The Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame also will present C.H. Parker with the coveted Governor’s Award, an honor given only three times in the past.
Reserved seats for the Concert & Induction tickets will be on pre-sale to existing members of the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame between Aug. 18 and 21. People can join to take part in early ticket sales.
Tickets for reserved seating will be offered to the public starting Aug. 22. Ticket prices range from $39.95 to $79.95, plus handling charges.
