NASHVILLE – The Music City Walk of Fame will welcome new inductees on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 1 p.m. The honorees include the late Jimmy Buffett, famed for his “tropical troubadour” style; The Fairfield Four, a renowned gospel quartet; Colin Reed, a key figure in hospitality from Ryman Hospitality Properties; and Bill Cody, a cherished announcer for the Grand Ole Opry and host on WSM.
Originally slated to be part of this year’s induction class, country music star Luke Combs will no longer be participating due to a scheduling conflict. Combs expressed regret over his absence, citing a stadium event for hurricane relief scheduled in Charlotte. He extended congratulations to the other inductees and mentioned that he would look forward to a future date for his induction.
