The halls of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum are filled with legends and icons that defined the music genre over the past century, but it’s time to put some new faces into the mix come 2017.

The famous Nashville landmark brings in guests from all around the world to see the history of country music and they have just recently announced who is joining the roster for the upcoming year. Artists such as Shania Twain, Jason Aldean, Loretta Lynn and country power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will all be getting their own place in the Hall over the next year, making it a big one for country music lovers to drop on by.

Marked as an honor in any artist’s career to land among their fellow peers and musical heroes in the Hall, many of the familiar faces headed to tell their story of success through memorabilia and prized possessions and cannot wait for the experience.

“I am extremely honored to be invited to have an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,” said Aldean. “That building is filled with the artists who helped create and shape country music, so to be a part of that legacy is something I am very proud of.”

Twain had similar happy feelings about the exhibit announcement, as she has been a staple for females in country music and finds excitement in revisiting her massively popular past.

“It’s an honor to be a part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibitions for 2017. Being able to re-visit favorite costumes, photographs and memories from my career has been a special feeling, especially as this year will see a new stage for me with a brand new album! I’m very excited to have these important creative moments on display,” she said in a press release.

In addition to highlighting the four impressive legacies, the museum will also open a new exhibition, American Currents (The Music of 2017). Beginning in March 2017, the exhibit will feature the latest in country music’s evolution with a behind-the-scenes look at everything new and noteworthy. Artifacts from Kelsea Ballerini, Brett Eldredge, Mickey Guyton, Miranda Lambert, William Michael Morgan, Maren Morris, Jon Pardi, Margo Price, Chris and Morgane Stapleton will be included, with more to be announced soon.

Aldean’s exhibit will hit the museum on May 26, followed by Twain’s on June 26. Lynn will open hers up on August 25 until June 2018, while Hill and McGraw’s story will be told from November 17 to May of 2018.
