Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell to Make a Special Keith Whitley Presentation at the 2011 Kentucky Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Nashville, TN, July 22, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Artist to The Stars, Corey Frizzell has been personally invited by Robert Lawson, Executive Director of the KY Music Hall of Fame and Museum, for a special presentation during the up-coming 2011 KY Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in honor of the late Keith Whitley.

The red carpet event will be held at the Lexington Center, Bluegrass Ballroom in Lexington KY April 7th, 2011 and will include a star studded inductee class of musical talent. This inductee class will include Keith Whitley, Patty Loveless, Larmelle Harris, John Michael Montgomery, Steve Wariner, Molly O’Day and The Goins Brothers.

Not only does the KY Music Hall of Fame and Museum, nestled in the heart of Renfro Valley, KY, proudly preserve the legacy of native KY musical artists who have make an impact on several genres of music but works tirelessly to expand the Heritage Educational Program.

The Frizzell family, most famous for its prominence on the Country Music Charts, is now witnessing the artistic successes of the second generation. Although he has siblings following in the Frizzell music footsteps, who have accepted the challenge of emerging from the giant shadow first cast by the family music patriarch, Lefty Frizzell, Corey chose a different path, a path to create his own shadow.

Corey falls somewhere in the middle of the six children spanning four decades of Allen Frizzell, former Nashville recording artist and younger brother of the Legendary Lefty Frizzell and Country Star, David Frizzell. As the nephew of Lefty & David and the son Allen Frizzell, Corey, is proud of his musical heritage, but took a very different path, one not filled with creating music but instead with art and boxing. Although Corey's passion for boxing kept this former Golden Gloves Champion in and out of the ring for a decade, his love for drawing has always been there. Over the years he perfected his craft, starting with cartoons and now creating portraits for the general public. In 2006, Frizzell came full circle when he started creating portraits for Country Music stars like George Jones, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Joe Diffie, Mark Chesnutt and Willie Nelson to name a few. Although Frizzell’s portraits hang on the walls of many legendary Country Music Stars and writers, his works can also be found on display in many public venues like the KY Music Hall of Fame and the world famous Nashville Palace. It looks like Frizzell found his niche, carrying on the family name while blazing a path of his own.
