Nashville to Reopen Music City Walk of Fame by Inducting Jack White and Loretta Lynn

Nashville’s Music Mile contains the Music City Walk of Fame Park, where artists such as Roy Orbison and Emmylou Harris have been honored with permanently installed plaques. Last year, the park temporarily closed for a multi-million dollar renovation. Today, it was announced that the park will reopen on June 4, and will induct Jack White and Loretta Lynn during a ceremony. The event will be open to the public.

“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the reopening of Walk of Fame Park than with the induction of Loretta Lynn and Jack White – two very diverse artists,” Nashville mayor Karl Dean said in a statement. “They represent what is best about Nashville with music that spans multiple genres and generations. They are great ambassadors for the creative community in our city, and I congratulate them on this wonderful honor.”

White and Lynn have collaborated multiple times, most notably when White produced Lynn’s 2004 Van Lear Rose LP. In January, he brought Lynn out during a performance in Nashville.
