Nashville Songwriter Awards Set Virtual Celebration
The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) will honor this year’s Nashville Songwriter Awards recipients via virtual celebration this fall. The 3rd Annual Nashville Songwriter Awards will be held via virtual format in lieu of the event originally scheduled at the Ryman Auditorium. The awards show has partnered again this year with City National Bank.
Past Nashville Songwriter Award recipients and honorees have included Loretta Lynn, George Strait, Ashley Gorley, Luke Combs, Bill Anderson, Josh Osborne, and more.
“While we will certainly miss the grand stage of the Ryman Auditorium for this year’s Nashville Songwriter Awards, we are excited to be able to honor this year’s Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Songwriter Artist of the Year, and the ‘10 Songs I Wish I’d Written’ Awards in a unique way and to be able to tell an even deeper story for each in a virtual format,” said NSAI Senior Director of Operations Jennifer Turnbow. “We relish the opportunity to provide a sense of celebration and community amid the uncertainty of this year.”
“City National has a long tradition of supporting songwriters and the creative community,” said Lori Badgett and Diane Pearson, heads of Entertainment Banking for City National Bank in Nashville, in a joint statement. “While we wish we could celebrate in person, we are pleased that so many of our friends are being honored at this memorable virtual event. Nashville has always been a special place for creators, and we are incredibly proud to continue to support them.”
Full details about honorees, performers, and tickets for the event will be announced in the coming months.
