Garth Brooks To Be Honored At ‘Austin City Limits’ Hall Of Fame 10th Anniversary

Austin City Limits is kicking off its 50th anniversary year in a major way. The legendary music program will be honoring Garth Brooks as part of its 10th anniversary Hall of Fame celebration. Brooks will perform with his band on September 5 at ACL Live at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas. Brooks’ induction into the Hall of Fame ceremony will eventually air as an hourlong broadcast of Austin City Limits at a future date on PBS. Brooks has previously appeared on Austin City Limits twice during their 25th anniversary year, opening and closing that historic season. The country legend first appeared on the program way back in 1990, at the beginning of his career. “To be part of anything Austin City Limits is and always has been an honor,” Brooks said in a statement. “I am humbled and grateful to not only be a part of the 50th Anniversary, but to be inducted into the ACL Hall of Fame is over the top.” (Billboard)
