The National Music Centre (NMC), in partnership with the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA), they have revealed the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame exhibition celebrating this year’s inductees: B.C. born country star Lisa Brokop and independent country music champion Joe Wood.
Opening September 10 in Calgary, the exhibition launches just as Country Music Week takes over Kelowna (September 10–13).
Leading up to the big week in British Columbia, we got a chance to speak with Lisa Brokop!
Brokop is an award-winning, Canadian Country icon. Earlier today we had a chance to talk with her about her induction into the coveted Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and about two very prominent items in the exhibit.

More on Lisa Brokop according to the NMC:
Over her 35-year career, Artist inductee Lisa Brokop has earned three independent CCMA wins,13 consecutive CCMA female vocalist nominations, an ACM nod, multiple Gold records, recorded 10 studio albums, and charted 43 North American singles. She’s also written songs for artists like Reba McEntire, Pam Tillis, and Terri Clark. With deep respect for the legendary women of country music, Brokop has carried their stories forward through her own career. In 2016, she launched The Patsy Cline Project, an album paying homage to the American country legend with covers and original songs. Hot on the heels of the album’s success, she created Legendary Ladies of Country, a show touring North America featuring songs by female country greats and her personal inspirations, including Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, and Emmylou Harris. The updated exhibition features treasures from Brokop’s multifaceted career, including her very first handwritten lyrics for the 1985 song “Country is the Best to Me!”, and the wedding dress she wore on the cover of The Patsy Cline Project album.
