NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The International Entertainment Buyers Association held its annual Hall of Fame Awards and the CMA's SRO Awards Tuesday night in downtown Nashville.
The awards show took place during the association's annual conference in Music City.
A long list of notable presenters came to the Sheraton Downtown to present the honors.
David Cassidy, Peter Noone, John Schneider and Tom Wopat from the Dukes of Hazzard, along with Beach Boys Mike Love and Bruce Johnston were a few of the celebrities on hand.
Both of the men made famous by the Dukes of Hazzard have strong ties to Nashville.
"I still own a house here, actually," Wopat said.
"I still have a mother here. My mom lives out in Madison so I come here a lot," Schneider said.
"So we have some connections here," Wopat joked.
M.C. Hammer hosted the nights awards banquet. Earlier on Tuesday he spent several hours in Nashville working with young people at a public housing complex.
"I was able to visit the JC Napier homes and spend two or three hours in the community," according to Hammer.
Charley Pride, Ray Pilszak and Joe LaGuardia were inducted into the IEBA Hall of Fame.
