For the 9th consecutive year, Vince Gill will be hosting the Country Music Association's award ceremony, to be held at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House on October 4 for telecast on CBS.
Last year, Gill and Patty Loveless won the CMA's Vocal Event of the Year award for "My Kind of Woman/My Kind of Man."
The CMA says that its objectives "are to guide and enhance the growth of Country Music and to demonstrate it as a viable medium to advertisers, consumers and media throughout the world."
