RECORDING ACADEMY™ STATEMENT RE: HAROLD BRADLEY

We are deeply saddened by the passing of renowned country music guitarist and our first Recording Academy™ Nashville Chapter President, Harold Bradley. A key member of the Nashville music community, Harold played a pivotal role in the formation of Music Row, having created the first recording studio on the famed street alongside his equally renowned producer brother Owen. He achieved countless milestones throughout his remarkable career, and in 2010 was honored with the Recording Academy's Trustees Award for the significant contributions he made to the field of recording. Harold will not only be remembered for his musical accomplishments, but for his unwavering dedication to our field and commitment to advocating for his industry. We have lost an integral member of our music community, and he will be dearly missed by many. Neil Portnow President/CEO Recording Academy
