Steve Earle, Ashley McBryde and Chris Stapleton are among the first set of performers confirmed for the upcoming 9th Annual Nashville Songwriter Awards on Sept. 22 at the Ryman Auditorium.

Produced by The Nashville Songwriters Association International with presenting partner City National Bank, the event will feature special performances from over a dozen songwriters, who will perform and celebrate their peers at the celebration. Additional performers for this year’s lineup include Dan Alley, Ryan Beaver, Jacob Davis, Ray Fulcher, Ben Johnson, Chris LaCorte, Chase McGill, Neil Medley, Josh Miller, Blake Pendergrass, Hunter Phelps, Bobby Pinson, Jeremy Stover, Lydia Vaughan and Jordan Walker.

Performances will center around industry honorees, songs celebrated by peers as ones they “wish they had written,” and writers who have achieved top chart performance throughout the past year. Previously announced honorees are Vince Gill (Kris Kristofferson Lifetime Achievement Award), Paul Williams (NSAI President’s Keystone Award), Pendergrass (Songwriter of the Year) and Riley Green (Songwriter-Artist of the Year).

The ‘Song of the Year’, ’10 Songs I Wish I’d Written’ awards, and the ‘Legendary Song’ award honors will be concealed until night-of, revealed through stories and performances from the stage. Tickets for the ceremony will be available for purchase beginning tomorrow (July 17).
