BMI’s 67th Annual Country Awards will celebrate the extraordinary career of Dwight Yoakam by presenting him with the BMI President’s Award.
BMI will introduce a new honor, the Legacy Award. The Legacy Award will honor indelible classics that not only found commercial success, but have also found a life of their own in the consciousness of the public. This year’s honor will go to the timeless “Rocky Top,” penned by legendary BMI writers Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. We will also honor the Country Songwriter, Song and Publisher of the Year and salute the writers and publishers of the past year’s most-performed country songs from BMI’s country catalog.
The invitation-only ceremony will take place at BMI’s Music Row offices.
