Sammy Kershaw Says the CMAs Denied His Request to Walk the Red Carpet

Sammy Kershaw is pretty upset with the CMAs after they denied his request to walk the red carpet with his wife at next week’s awards.  He became a lifetime CMA member in 1992.

He says, quote, “I believe there should be room to recognize the artists who have spent their lives contributing to this organization’s success.”

Sammy’s manager says the request was denied due to an overwhelming number of artist requests for the red carpet and awards show and he didn’t meet their updated criteria, but he could purchase tickets for about $800 apiece.
