Nashville’s 2024 Music City Walk of Fame ceremony highlighted all corners and eras of the city’s multitude of harmonious legacies.
Honoring Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Buffett, WSM 650 broadcaster and Grand Ole Opry announcer Bill Cody, Grammy-winning gospel quartet The Fairfield Four and Ryman Hospitality Partners’ Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors Colin Reed satisfied all facets of how, for the past century, Nashville has inspired local, national and global creators to its environs to celebrate music’s inspiration.
‘Stars that never fade…’
Typically, the Music City Walk of Fame festivities are hosted by Cody. However, given that the 30-year Nashville industry veteran was being inducted, his on-air partner — at WSM Radio and on the Grand Ole Opry — Kelly Sutton assumed those duties.
She opened the festivities with a greeting, then turned over the stage to Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell, who noted that the Music City Walk of Fame was “Nashville’s most exclusive club,” a “sacred space filled with stars that never fade.”
