EMMYLOU HARRIS

A 14-time Grammy winner and Billboard Century Award recipient, Emmylou Harris’ contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists’ recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008 and earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 2018.

Harris is known as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing.  Admired through her career for her talent as an artist and song connoisseur, Harris shook up country radio in the 1970s, and established herself as the premiere songwriter of a generation selling more than 15 million records and garnering 14 Grammy Awards, three CMA Awards, and four Americana Awards.

Harris is one of the most admired and influential women in music. She has recorded with such diverse artists as Linda Ronstadt, Daniel Lanois, Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison, Ryan Adams, Beck, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett and Rodney Crowell. Few artists have achieved such honesty or have revealed such maturity in their writing. Forty years into her career, Harris continues to share the hard-earned wisdom that—hopefully if not inevitably—comes with getting older, though she’s never stopped looking ahead.

A longtime social activist, Harris has lent her voice to many causes.  Most passionately to animal welfare.  

In 2004 she established Bonaparte's Retreat with the goal of rescuing shelter dogs and adopting them into forever homes. To this day, Bonaparte's Retreat continues to save dogs most in need at Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control and at municipal shelters in surrounding counties.



RODNEY CROWELL

Born and raisedin Texas, two-time GRAMMY-winner Rodney Crowell arrived in Nashville in theearly 1970s, coming to prominence first as a writer before establishing himselfas a critically acclaimed solo artist in his own right. With 15 number one hitsunder his belt and tracks recorded by everyone from Emmylou Harris and JohnnyCash to Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, it would be difficult to overstateCrowell’s impact on roots music over the past five decades. In 2003, he wasinducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame; in 2006 he received theLifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting from the Americana Music Association;in 2017, he was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award; and in 2019,he was presented with the Academy of Country Music’s Poet’s Award. In additionto his prolific output as an artist and producer, Crowell also found time tobecome a celebrated author, too, publishing a memoir and a lyricalretrospective to widespread praise. Along the way, NPR declared him the “literarily inclined elder statesman of theAmericana scene,” while Rolling Stonehailed him as a “country music trailblazer,” and the New York Times proclaimed that his songwriting “gets better andsharper with age.”

Produced by JeffTweedy, Crowell’s brilliant new album, TheChicago Sessions, is as incisive, engaging, and vital as ever, touching oneverything from love and mortality to race and religion as it balances carefulcraftsmanship with joyful liberation at every turn.
