Ernest, Nicolle Galyon, Hardy and Lori McKenna are set to perform at the upcoming 6th annual Nashville Songwriter Awards presented by City National Bank on Sept. 26 at the Ryman Auditorium.

Honoring the top songs and songwriters of 2022, the night is dedicated to the creation of song, and will be packed with performances and feature segments sharing stories behind each of the songs and honorees celebrated.

Previously announced performers include Trannie Anderson, Renee Blair, Ben Johnson, Tracy Lawrence, Megan Moroney, Hunter Phelps, Emily Shackelton, Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell, and Dallas Wilson.

Each year NSAI also honors a few individuals who have immensely impacted the songwriting community or profession as a whole, and this year three individuals have been announced as recipients. Legendary songwriter Bobby Braddock will be presented with the Kris Kristofferson Lifetime Achievement Award, Tim McGraw will be honored with the NSAI President’s Keystone Award, and NMPA President and CEO, David Israelite, will receive NSAI’s Advocacy Award. Additional awards of the night go to the ‘Songwriter’ and ‘Songwriter-Artist of the Year,’ as well as the peer-voted ‘Song of the Year’ and ’10 Songs I Wish I’d Written’ awards.
