Each Year, The Academy Of Country Music Selects A Special Group Of Artists To Honor At The Prestigious ACM Honors.

Country music legend Alan Jackson is one of the recipients this year and a well-deserving one at that.

About ACM Honors

Unlike the grand ACM Awards show in the spring, the ACM Honors is a more personal event, held to honor special award honorees, including “off-camera category winners, and ACM Industry Awards and Studio Recording Awards.”

The first-ever ACM Honors took place in 2007, making this year’s special event the 17th annual celebration.

ACM will observe this year’s honorees on Wednesday, August 21, at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.

Four-time ACM Award winner Carly Pearce will host the event alongside current ACM Song of the Year winner Jordan Davis, who won the honor for “Next Thing You Know.”
