Another Special Honor for Carrie Underwood
2009 ACM Entertainer of the Year, 4-time Grammy winner and Oklahoma music icon Carrie Underwood will be inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in September.
Carrie will join other music performers and artists who have been recognized by the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame since 1997, including Vince Gill, Toby Keith, Merle Haggard, Wanda Jackson, Hank Thompson, The All American Rejects and David Gates.
As part of the festivities, Carrie and her fellow inductees Rocky Frisco and Ramona Reed will perform at the 13th Annual Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Concert on September 17 at 7 p.m. The event is at the Muskogee Civic Center.
"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.
"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.

Carrie will be releasing her new album on November 3.

To date, Underwood is the U.S. best-selling American Idol winner with album sales over 10 million.
Watch Carrie and Randy Travis perform "I Told You So."
