CMA Announces 14th Triple Play Awards Recipients

/by

The Country Music Association has revealed recipients of the 14th CMA Triple Play Awards. Presented to songwriters who pen three No. 1 songs within a 12-month period, these accolades honor the talented people behind some of the genre’s most momentous hits.

This year’s honorees include seven songwriters: first-time recipients Jelly Roll and Jordan Schmidt, Charlie Handsome, Chase McGill, Hunter Phelps, Thomas Rhett and three-time honoree Ashley Gorley. Additionally, UMPG Nashville Chairman & CEO Troy Tomlinson will be honored with the CMA Songwriter Advocate Award, which is given to an individual who has had a profound impact on the country music genre by consistently championing songwriters and their careers.

“Since I was about six years old, songs have painted pictures that helped me both escape and embrace my life,” Tomlinson explains. “To have spent the past four decades supporting and advocating for the world’s greatest songwriters has been nothing less than an honor and a privilege. Being honored by CMA at this point in my life is extraordinarily rewarding and humbling.”

For over 40 years, Tomlinson has nurtured and promoted industry legends such as Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, Casey Beathard, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Dean Dillon, Tom Douglas, Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift, Hank Williams and more. He currently sits on the CMA Board of Directors and continues to serve organizations including Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Board of Officers & Trustees and Belmont University.

The ceremony will be hosted by composer and CMA Board member Jim Beavers on Monday, April 15 in Nashville.
