Music City Walk of Fame to Honor Charley Pride, Liz Rose, and Old Dominion on November 11

Nashville will celebrate three of its most influential musical forces when Charley Pride, Liz Rose, and Old Dominion are inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 1 p.m. The ceremony, free and open to the public, will take place at Music City Walk of Fame Park in downtown Nashville.

“These inductees represent the heart of Nashville’s music story,” said Ellen Pryor, Chair of Music City Inc. and Director of Communications at the Frist Art Museum. “From Old Dominion’s rise from songwriters to stars, to Charley Pride’s trailblazing legacy, to Liz Rose’s timeless storytelling that defined an era—each has left an unforgettable mark on music and on Nashville.”

The induction will mark the unveiling of the 110th, 111th, and 112th stars on the Walk of Fame, recognizing those who have preserved Nashville’s musical heritage and contributed to the world through song.

Old Dominion: Nashville’s Hitmaking Powerhouse

From songwriting rooms to stadium stages, Old Dominion has cemented its place as one of country music’s most dynamic groups. Known for their clever lyrics and radio-ready anthems, the five-member band has achieved nine No. 1 hits, more than five billion streams, and a dozen Platinum and Gold singles.

The reigning eight-time Academy of Country Music and seven-time Country Music Association Group of the Year winners recently released their sixth studio album, “Barbara,” on August 22, 2025. The project continues their evolution as storytellers and performers, blending wit, heart, and melody into songs that resonate with fans worldwide.

Currently on their How Good Is That – World Tour, Old Dominion is playing to packed stadiums and arenas through 2026. Earlier this year, the band’s seven-night residency at the Ryman Auditorium raised more than $1.25 million for seven charities they’ve supported throughout their career — underscoring their commitment to giving back to the Nashville community.

Charley Pride: A Trailblazer Remembered

The late Charley Pride will be inducted posthumously, honored for a career that broke barriers and reshaped country music. Pride became the first Black superstar in the genre’s history, earning three GRAMMY Awards, 36 No. 1 country hits, and countless accolades that spanned more than five decades.

His signature song, “Kiss An Angel Good Morning,” became a million-selling crossover success and helped earn him the CMA Entertainer of the Year award in 1971, along with consecutive Top Male Vocalist honors in 1971 and 1972.

Pride’s impact endured long after his passing in 2020. In recent years, he has been remembered through a statue at the Ryman Auditorium’s Icon Walk, the 2024 GRAMMY Hall of Fame induction of “Kiss An Angel Good Morning,” and the release of “Endlessly: A Tribute to Brook Benton”—a newly discovered and restored album of unreleased recordings from the 1980s. His music continues to inspire generations of artists and fans across genres and continents.

Liz Rose: The Pen Behind the Poetry

Few songwriters have defined modern country storytelling like Liz Rose. With two GRAMMY Awards, multiple CMA honors, and induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rose’s lyrics have shaped some of the most iconic songs of the past two decades.

Her collaborations with Taylor Swift produced enduring hits like “You Belong With Me,” “Teardrops on My Guitar,” and the 2023 GRAMMY-nominated “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).” She also co-wrote the chart-topping “Girl Crush” with fellow “Love Junkies” Lori McKenna and Hillary Lindsey, earning the GRAMMY for Best Country Song in 2015.

Beyond her own success, Rose continues to nurture Nashville’s next generation of talent through her publishing company, Liz Rose Music, and serves on the boards of both CMA and NSAI. Her pen has touched nearly every corner of country music — from Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton to Parker McCollum and Bonnie Raitt.

Honoring Nashville’s Musical Legacy

Established in 2006, the Music City Walk of Fame sits along Nashville’s Music Mile, connecting downtown to the legendary Music Row. Each inductee’s name is engraved in a permanent sidewalk medallion, symbolizing their contribution to the city’s cultural and musical landscape.

Produced by Music City Inc., the charitable foundation of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp (NCVC), the Walk of Fame is made possible through partnerships with Gibson, BNA, Metro Parks, and the Nashville Downtown Partnership.
