The celebration of Brooks & Dunn goes down on May 7th, at The Star in Frisco, Texas. And the 60th annual ACM Awards will take place there the following night.
The Academy of Country Music just announced they’ll be honoring Kix Brooks & Ronnie Dunn during the “Play Something Country” gala the night before the ACMs take place. They should probably really follow their own advice when it comes to playing country music…but we can argue about that at another time.
There will be a silent auction with all proceeds benefitting ACM Lifting Lives, which focusing on mental health initiatives in the country music industry.
There will also be performances by Eric Church…Cody Johnson…Megan Moroney…Keith Urban…and Lainey Wilson. They’ll all be doing renditions of Brooks & Dunn’s biggest hits.
Then, the following night they’re nominated for Duo of the Year at the ACM Awards…again. They’ve already won Duo of the Year 16 times.
