The hall of fame is located in one of the oldest heritage buildings in downtown Merrit, BC and began in 1984.

Terri Clark interviews Canadian Country Music Hall of Famer Michelle Wright, who updates us on her career.  Michelle had a Top 10 US country hit in the 90s with "Take It Like a Man." 

Inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011, Michelle Wright found herself permanently recognized for her musical achievements. What an honour for a small town dreamer & big time singer from Merlin, Ontario.  That could have been a time to take a break and let her career have a first and last chapter. But for Michelle, music isn't something she only does, it's who she is. And thankfully for fans, the songs & performances keep on coming.  The CCMA honoured Michelle with CCMA nominations for Female Artist of the Year in 2012 & 2013 - an award she had won 5 times previously. Her most recent album is called Strong. And that's a great one word description of how she still looks, sounds & writes. “I created this record with a group of friends I admire as writers, singers and producers. We had a lot of fun,” says Michelle. “The songs are a collection of my observations about life and the people around me and how we’re all just stumbling through it. At times there is laughter and joy; at other times, pain and disappointment. Overall, I hope this record is inspiring and relatable to my fans.”

His records and music can still be heard on classic country radio stations around the world, as well as online and satellite radio.

Dick Damron is a proud member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, Canadian Country Music Hall of Honour, Alberta Country Music Hall of Fame and the International Country Music Hall of Fame. His words and music reveal far more than this short bio can capture so his autobiography titled The Legend & The Legacy published in 1998 is worth the read.
