Nashville’s most famous music family, the Bradley’s, were honored last night in Music City. Kenny Chesney, Ronnie Milsap, Kellie Pickler, Le Ann Womack, and Gretchen Wilson were all on hand to perform and watch as the family was presented with the Dale Franklin Leadership Award, which is presented in recognition of “the highest quality of leadership and leading by example.”Members of the Bradley family include two members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Owen (pictured above, left, working with Patsy Cline) & Harold Bradley. The brothers opened the very first recording studio on what is now known as Music Row. Owen, who passed away in 1998 and was a legendary producer in the country music business, and his brother, Harold, a session musician, worked with the likes of Patsy Cline, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, and many, many others. Their roots continue on in the Nashville music industry…Owen’s daughter, Patsy, is the former Assistant Vice President of BMI, and his son, Jerry, had a long career as an executive at RCA and the Opryland Music Group/Acuff-Rose Music Publishing. Jerry’s wife, Connie, is the current Senior Vice President at ASCAP.
The event was held at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel and was hosted by Brenda Lee.
