NASHVILLE, TN (June 7, 2024) – Last night, the Recording Industry Association of America® (RIAA) SVP, Media Relations + Gold & Platinum Program Erin D. D. Burr and SVP, Artist & Industry Relations Jackie Jones surprised Eddie Montgomery, alongside the late Troy Gentry’s wife Angie Gentry and Red Light Management team Bryan Frasher and Fletcher Lyon, with plaques commemorating Platinum “Something To Be Proud Of,” plus Gold “Hell Yeah” and “My Town” singles released through Columbia Nashville.
