ACM Honors: Legacy Act

The 19th ACM Honors brought the country music industry to The Pinnacle in Nashville Wednesday (8/19) for a night that put songwriters, advocates, executives and institutions alongside the artists they support. Carly Pearce returned for her sixth year as host, joined by first-time co-host Parker McCollum, as the Academy of Country Music recognized a wide-ranging class of special honorees, along with its Artist-Songwriter, Songwriter, Industry and Studio Recording Award winners. Songwriting supplied several of the night’s most emotional moments. Dolly Parton, accepting the ACM Poet’s Award by video, said “songwriting has always been the most important part of who I am creatively.” Fellow Carly Pearce & Poet’s Award recipient Brett James was Parker McCollum honored posthumously by longtime friend and co-writer Dierks Bentley, who performed “I Hold On.” The song, written about Bentley’s father and holding on to pieces of the past, took on new meaning as he sang it for the man who helped him write it. The Carter Family also received the Poet’s Award, with Brenda Lee on hand for the tribute. Lee briefly commandeered the proceedings, asking the crowd for its favorite hymn, answering one suggestion with “we’re not doing that one,” then turning the room into a “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” singalong before joining assembled Carter family members for “Can the Circle Be Unbroken (By and By).” John Carter Cash put the family’s legacy in perspective: “A thousand years from now, most of our names will appear in small type. The Carter Family will be in bold.” Legacy was also central to Mike Curb’s Icon Award remarks. Recalling meeting award namesake Cliffie Stone at the Capitol Records Bill Anderson & building in Los Angeles, Curb noted Stone was Mike Curb among those fighting for country music there and said, “We all stand on the shoulders of these people.” Ever the promoter, he also plugged performer Dylan Scott, noting Scott was working on his eighth No. 1 (continued on page 3)

Brooks Launches In Indy

Garth Brooks’ Blame It All On My Roots Arena Tour kicked off last week with four shows in at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Video from the first two nights shows the concert opening with a countdown, and a piano rising from the stage played by a man in a hat meant to look like Brooks. The star himself then rises out of the center of a piano, launching into his opening number, “The Old Stuff.” A more than two-hour, hit-heavy set follows, ending with final encore “Standing Outside The Fire.” Tall LED screens dubbed “the halo” surround the stage, and the drummer is encased in a throwback enclosure from a ’90s tour known as the “drum pod.” There are no Garth Brooks opening acts.

August 24, 2026 WLHK PD Sean Copeland was on hand at the third show (8/22) to report on the festivities for Country Aircheck, noting. “Our seats were in the lower bowl, opposite end of the stage. But the stage was so massive, it felt like Garth was close.” Unsurprisingly, Copeland says, “the opening guitar line for ‘Friends In Low Places’ got the biggest crowd reaction,” a song he was surprised to see mid-set rather than as an encore. As has been Brooks’ custom at other tours, the show included a request portion, where fans held up signs and he played what they asked for. “One man had a sign that just read ‘Randy Travis,’” Copeland reports, yielding a “Randy medley including ‘Diggin Up Bones’ and ‘Three Wooden Crosses,’ among others.” Brooks took a moment during the show to address last week’s catastrophic flooding in central Indiana. “He thanked people for making it out, saying that he knew the flooding would make it harder on some folks,” Copeland says. Brooks also had “a cool backstage moment of generosity with one of our meet & greet winners” who had lost her father suddenly just days before the show. “Garth got word of this and told her, ‘If you don’t feel ready for the show tonight, go home, and let me fly you to another show when you are ready.’ Everyone in the meet & greet was touched by his generosity.” Summing up the show, Copeland says, “Garth’s still got it! He was having a blast, and his energy was contagious. Most artists are performing; Garth was hosting a party!” The tour resumes Sept. 4-6 in Denver, followed by shows in Chicago (Sept. 10-13) and Washington, DC (Sept. 18-19).

Kudos to Kerry Wolfe and the Galaxy promotion team on scoring 64 adds for “Talkin Bout” by LoCash.

KLLL/Lubbock, TX, WFRG/Utica, NY and WIBW/Topeka, KS are temporarily removed from the Activator panel due to technical issues.

ACM Honors: Legacy Act (continued from page 1) and “is available for the ACM show.” Fellow Icon recipient Bill Anderson summed up his own 65-plus-year career by borrowing the title of an old gospel song: “I Wouldn’t Take Nothin’ For My Journey Now.” C2C: Country to Country received the International Award, accepted by co-promoter Lucy Shaw, who recalled growing up in Manchester listening to country music before concluding, “12-year-old Lucy was right. Country is so cool.” Trisha Yearwood introduced Lift Every Voice Award recipient Leslie Fram as “a chick singer’s best friend,” while Fram used her own moment to spotlight Mickey Guyton, asking her to stand and be recognized for her advocacy for marginalized voices. Longtime ACM attorney Scott Trisha Yearwood & Leslie Fram Zolke received the Service Award after his presenters played off his familiar “my brother, my brother, my brother” greeting, with Big Kenny offering an on-point performance of “I Fought The Law.” Kacey Musgraves received the Spirit Award, and Landman took the Film Award. The former’s “Merry Go ‘Round” was covered by Carter Faith, and the latter was honored with performances by Gavin Adcock (“Winner At Losing”) and Mark Collie and Flatland Cavalry (“Midland After Midnight”). Ella Langley was celebrated as Artist-Songwriter of the Year with an Avery Anna, Kaitlin Butts and Gabriella Rose medley, while Megan Moroney, self-proclaimed president of the Jessie Jo Dillon fan club, performed “Beautiful Things” before presenting Dillon with her third consecutive Songwriter of the Year honor. Dillon used the moment to point beyond individual accolades: “Almost nothing meaningful is actually made entirely alone.” That sentiment fit Eric Church’s ACM Lifting Lives Award. Sheryl Crow performed “Drink In My Hand” before presenting Church, whose Chief Cares work includes Hurricane Helene relief and long-term rebuilding efforts in North Carolina. “I believe that God made music the universal language,” he said, adding that the work is “changing people’s lives” and “changing their kids’ lives.” The giving started before Church took the stage. Storme Warren auctioned two Gibson-donated guitars, and together with proceeds from VIP ticket packages, the evening raised more than $65,000 for ACM Lifting Lives, putting a charitable topper on a night largely devoted to what the country music community has built, preserved and passed along. –Caitlin DeForest CAC

SEPTEMBER 8

CHECK OUT Lauren Alaina Stages (Big Loud) “I’m 15 years into a 10-year town and 31 years into a lifelong dream,” she says. “Stages represents every version of me along the way: the dreaming, the breaking, and, ultimately, the becoming. There’s something on this album for everyone, no matter what stage of life they’re in.” Carly Pearce Honest Woman (BBRMG) Co-produced by Pearce with longtime collaborator Ben West, the 16-track project features collabs with Riley Green (“If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”), Dan Tyminski (“Who’s Lying Here”) and Tyminski and Molly Tuttle (“What If You Loved Me”). Little Big Town It’s A Dying Art (MCA) The group recruited Ashley Monroe (“Sucker For A Sad Song”), Jason Isbell (“The Door”) and Kelsea Ballerini (“Closing Time”) for their 12th studio album. Zach John King I’m What You Get (SMN) “I think this project makes a statement of ‘take it or leave it, this is me,’” King says of his debut album. “There’s parts of me that I really love on this record, but there’s also parts of me that I regret. In every song, there’s a piece of my story I wanted to share. When I was in the writing process, my hope was that anyone could listen to this record from start to finish and see that it’s 100% me.” Dustin Lynch Setlist Staples - 10 #1’s (BBR/BMG) The 10-track collection features Lynch’s 10 No. 1s from “Where It’s At” and “Hell Of A Night” to “Chevrolet” with Jelly Roll. “No matter how much new music I make, these are the records that always find their way back into the show,” he says. Trey Pendley Signs of Life (Leo33) Among the 13 songs on Pendley’s debut album are “Small Potatoes,” “TV Tray,” “The Dog” and “Podunk.”
