Academy of Country Music to Celebrate Jelly Roll, Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Rissi Palmer, Ben Vaughn and Others at ACM Honors Show


The Academy of Country Music's annual ACM Honors show will celebrate Jelly Roll, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Rissi Palmer and Ben Vaughn.

Mac McAnally and Jessi Jo Dillon represent the songwriters’ world in this year’s kudos, while Lori Badgett and Ben Vaughn will be celebrated for behind-the-scenes work in Nashville, and the film “Twisters” will get its own ACM Honors trophy. Country superstar Eric Church and Ben Vaughn will each be bestowed — posthumously, in the latter’s case — with the ACM Icon Award, generally seen as the Academy’s highest lifetime honor. The ACM Lifting Lives Award is going to Jelly Roll for his philanthropic work and contributions, including his advocacy for the causes of at-risk youth, the prison community, fentanyl abuse and mental health treatment.
