On Wednesday (10/10), Vince joins Jewel, Trisha Yearwood and Patty Griffin at the Nokia Theater Times Square for an “All for the Hall” fundraiser to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum. Actor, director and novelist Ethan Hawke will host the event, which includes a live auction. Vince is now serving his sixth term as president of the Hall of Fame’s board of officers and trustees. Vince and his wife and fellow artist Amy Grant will be jointly profiled Saturday (10/13) on NBC’s Weekend Today. Amy will spotlight her Greatest Hits album and her latest book, Mosaic: Pieces Of My Life So Far, while Vince continues to promote his CMA-nominated, four-disc set These Days. Then on Monday, Oct. 22, Vince visits RFD-TV to chat with fellow Hall of Fame inductee, Ralph Emery, on the show Ralph Emery Live. A Grand Ole Opry member since 1991, Vince will recall the thrill of becoming a part of that revered musical institution when he welcomes MCA Records labelmate Josh Turner into the cast on Saturday, Oct. 27. The next day, Sunday, Oct. 28, Vince will be one of the three guests of honor at the annual Medallion ceremony at the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum. The private event pays tribute to new Hall of Fame members, who this year are Vince, Ralph Emery and Mel Tillis. The following evening, Monday, Oct. 29, Vince and Mel Tillis will journey to the Ryman Auditorium to perform for the 650 AM WSM 82nd Anniversary Listener Appreciation Concert, which will be hosted by Ralph Emery. And at the CMA Awards show on Wednesday, Nov. 7, Vince will be formally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In addition to being nominated for Album of the Year, he is also in the running for Vocal Event of the Year (for “The Reasons Why,” with Alison Krauss.)
