Not only will Brooks & Dunn be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this fall, but the best-selling country duo of all time is also the subject of a brand-new exhibit at the CMHOF.

Brooks & Dunn: Kings of Neon highlights Kix and Ronnie’s early careers as solo artists and songwriters, the circumstances that united them as performers, and their innovative approach to stage production and touring.

Ronnie and Kix welcomed family, friends and industry insiders to the grand opening of the exhibit on Aug. 8.

“It’s so cool to have an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,” says Ronnie. “When you’re reminded that what you have created is part of history like that, it’s beyond humbling. I’m so, so proud.”

“Ronnie and I are really fired up about having an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,” adds Kix. “We’ve shared some of our favorite things with the museum over the years, and it’s going to be really special for us to revisit those moments from our career, especially in a format like the Hall that reaches all generations of fans.”
