BREAKING: 2024 Inductees Revealed For Nashville Songwriters Hall Of Fame

August 15, 2024/by LB Cantrell

The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (NaSHOF) has announced its 2024 inductees, who will join the legendary body in November. David Bellamy, Al Anderson, Liz Rose, Dan Penn and Victoria Shaw make up this year’s class. Brad Paisley was the top-voted tunesmith in the Contemporary Songwriter/Artist category, but he is unable to attend the ceremony due to a scheduling conflict. He will be officially inducted next year as a member of the 2025 class.

The inductees were announced today (Aug. 15) by NaSHOF Board of Directors Chair Rich Hallworth and the organization’s Executive Director Mark Ford at a luncheon held in Nashville’s historic Columbia Studio A, which is part of Belmont University’s Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business.

“Gathering for this occasion—to recognize and welcome the members of our incoming class—is always one of the highlights of our year,” shared Hallworth. “To this stellar group of songwriters, we say thank you for your songs and for your artistry. You are exceptional talents, and we will proudly honor you this fall, when you officially join your legendary peers in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.”

Anderson and Rose will be honored in the Contemporary Songwriter category. Penn and Shaw will go in the Veteran Songwriter category and Bellamy in the Veteran Songwriter/Artist category. The 2024 class will join the 241 previously-inducted members upon their formal induction during the 54th Anniversary Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at the Music City Center.

Anderson’s songwriter credits include “Trip Around The Sun” (Jimmy Buffett & Martina McBride), “Unbelievable” (Diamond Rio) and “The Cowboy In Me” (Tim McGraw). Rose’s songbook features “White Horse” (Taylor Swift), “Crazy Girl” (Eli Young Band) and “Girl Crush” (Little Big Town). Penn’s hits include “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man” (Aretha Franklin), “The Dark End Of The Street” (James Carr) and “I’m Your Puppet” (James & Bobby Purify).

Shaw is best known for “The River” (Garth Brooks), “I Love The Way You Love Me” (John Michael Montgomery) and “Nobody Wants To Be Lonely” (Ricky Martin & Christina Aguilera). Bellamy recorded many of his own compositions as a part of the Bellamy Brothers, including “If I Said You Have A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” “Old Hippie” and “Crazy From The Heart.”
