He's one of the most loved personalities in Music City, and many of Nashville's finest turned out at Bridgestone Arena yesterday to celebrate the career and accomplishments of MCA Nashville recording artist Vince Gill.
A packed crowd -- including Grand Ole Opry GM Pete Fisher, journalist Robert K. Oermann, and the Country Music Hall of Fame's Kyle Young -- turned out for the event, which saw Gill recognized by several Nashville organizations for his charitable efforts. The Nashville Predators presented Gill with a bobblehead bearing his likeness, and he also received honors from the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau, Fender Guitars, and MCA, among others. Nashville mayor Karl Dean presented the Country Music Hall of Fame member with a proclamation that this is to be "Vince Gill Week" in the city.
