The country music community joined with CMT this week to honor Vince Gill.

Artists including Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Sting, Cody Johnson, Ricky Skaggs, Brad Paisley, Maren Morris and more converged at Belmont University to pay homage to the artist that George Jones affectionately called Sweet Pea. The show will air at 9 p.m./8 p.m. on CMT. 

Here’s what a few of the artists had to say about Gill, a two-time entertainer of the year with more than 1,000 collaborations with other artists to his credit. 

Carrie Underwood: “He’s an Okie boy, and I’m from Oklahoma. I feel like getting to grow up and see him and other artists like him that were from a little bit down the road go on to live the dream that I wanted to someday maybe have was just super inspiring. He’s got obviously an incredible voice and just some of the most memorable songs in this era of country music. It’s just an honor to get to be here.”
