Calgary's Studio Bell will soon shine a spotlight on two new Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame inductees. On September 10, the National Music Centre (NMC) and Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) will open an updated exhibition honouring B.C.-born singer-songwriter Lisa Brokop and longtime industry champion Joe Wood. The launch coincides with Country Music Week, taking place the same week in Kelowna.
Brokop's 35-year career includes Gold records, 10 studio albums, and songs written for stars like Reba McEntire and Terri Clark. The exhibition features personal milestones such as her first handwritten lyrics and the wedding dress she wore on the cover of The Patsy Cline Project. "Being welcomed into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame has been the greatest honour of my career," Brokop said in a statement.
Wood, recognized in the Stan Klees Builder category, has spent nearly five decades advancing independent Canadian country music. From co-founding RDR Music Group to helping deliver more than 10,000 songs to radio, his work has supported artists ranging from Gord Bamford to Garth Brooks. His story joins a collection of more than 2,000 artifacts preserved at Studio Bell, which serves as the permanent home of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in Calgary.
