Crooner Chris Isaak is confirmed to honor one of his idols, Roy Orbison, as he sings at Orbison’s induction into the Musicians Hall of Fame at the 2014 Musicians Hall of Fame Awards Show on Tuesday, January, 28 at 7 p.m. at Nashville’s Historic Municipal Auditorium. Orbison is being recognized posthumously for his legendary song, “Oh, Pretty Woman,” in the Iconic Riff category.
Having met Orbison, one of his strongest influences, as well as opening for him a time or two, Isaak will bring Orbison’s biggest hit song to life. He joins the multi-genre lineup of stars already signed on to celebrate the 2014 Inductees.
Charles Esten, star of ABC’S NASHVILLE, will serve as master of ceremonies for the show and the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum will also be spotlighted in the Wed. Jan. 22nd episode of the hit ABC television show during a party scene filmed in the museum.
This will be the first Musicians Hall of Fame Award show held at the Nashville’s Historic Municipal Auditorium, the new home of the MHOF.
