Tyler Childers and Sierra Ferrell are among the top nominees for the 23rd annual Americana Music Honors & Awards.
Ferrell released her new album Trail of Flowers last month, while in September 2023, Childers released his sixth studio album Rustin’ in the Rain, spearheaded by “In Your Love,” which earned Childers his Billboard Hot 100 debut.
This year’s nominees were revealed Tuesday (May 7) at the National Museum of African-American Music in Nashville. The nominations ceremony was hosted by Gina Miller, senior vp and general manager of MNRK Music Group and a member of the Americana Music Association‘s board of directors. The event also featured performances from SistaStrings, The War and Treaty, Megan McCormick with Amanda Fields and Ethan Ballinger, as well as Kaitlin Butts and Ferrell.
Other top nominees include the twice-nominated Brandy Clark, as well as Allison Russell, Charley Crockett, “Wondering Why” performers The Red Clay Strays, Stick Season hitmaker Noah Kahan and Wyatt Flores.

Post Malone will perform on the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards on May 16, along with several other pop artists: Noah Kahan (who will perform with Kelsea Ballerini, an album of the year and female artist of the year nominee), Avril Lavigne (who will perform with Nate Smith, a new male artist of the year nominee) and Gwen Stefani (who will perform with her husband and frequent collaborator Blake Shelton, a six-time ACM Award winner). The latter couple are expected to perform their current single, “Purple Irises.”
Ed Sheeran teamed with Luke Combs to perform “Life Goes On” on last year’s ACM Awards, but this year’s lineup will be studded with more pop names than usual.

Parker McCollum, the 2022 new male artist of the year winner, has also been added to the bill for this year’s show, which will be held at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, on May 16.
Previously announced performers are Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson, as well as Reba McEntire, who is hosting the show. McEntire will perform new music.
More performers are expected to be announced. The top nominees who have not yet been announced as performers are Luke Combs, Megan Moroney, Morgan Wallen, Jordan Davis and Zach Bryan. Many fans no doubt hope that Wallen joins Post Malone to perform their upcoming collab “I Had Some Help.”

Bobby Bones will be featured throughout the show with the artist interview segment “Backstage With Bobby Bones,” which was introduced on last year’s show. Bones is a five-time ACM Awards winner for national on-air personality of the year.
The show will stream live globally on Prime Video at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The ACM stresses that a Prime membership will not be required to watch live. They note: “Everyone is invited to the Party of the Year.”
This is McEntire’s 17th time hosting or co-hosting the ACMs. She first co-hosted the show in 1986. McEntire is closing in on the all-time record for most times hosting or co-hosting a major awards show. That record has long been held by Bob Hope, who hosted or co-hosted the Academy Awards 19 times between 1940-78. (Both hosting stints span 38 years, so if McEntire hosts the ACM Awards again, she’ll surpass Hope’s span of years as host or co-host.)
The 2023 ACM Awards, hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, garnered more than 7.7 million viewers on Prime Video plus additional viewership across Amazon Music, the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, and Amazon Live, making it one of the year’s most-watched awards shows.
This marks the ACM Awards’ third year streaming on Prime Video; its second in a row coming from Ford Center at The Star. The venue opened in 2016 and serves as the practice facility for the Dallas Cowboys. Last year’s ACM Awards were the first awards show to take place there.
The 59th ACM Awards is produced by Dick Clark Productions (DCP). Raj Kapoor is executive producer and showrunner, with Patrick Menton as co-executive producer. Damon Whiteside serves as executive producer for the ACM, and Barry Adelman serves as executive producer for DCP. John Saade serves as consulting producer for Amazon MGM Studios.
Kapoor was one of three executive producers of the Grammy Awards on Feb. 4, along with Ben Winston and Jesse Collins. He also served as executive producer and showrunner of the Oscars on March 10. Menton was a co-executive producer of the Grammys.
Kapoor won a Primetime Emmy in 2022 as an executive producer of Adele: One Night Only, which was voted outstanding variety special (pre-recorded). Menton has received two Primetime Emmy nods for work alongside Kapoor on a pair of Grammy telecasts in 2021 and 2022. Adelman has received 18 Primetime Emmy nods for his work on the Golden Globe Awards and So You Think You Can Dance, though he has yet to win.
A limited number of tickets to the 59th ACM Awards are available for purchase on SeatGeek.
Fans can also tune into the official ACM Red Carpet on Prime Video, the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, and Amazon Live, starting at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. The full rebroadcast will be available directly following the stream on Prime Video and available the next day for free on Amazon Freevee and the Amazon Music app.
Fans can also enjoy a week of pre-ACM livestream shows hosted by Kelly Sutton and Amber Anderson of the Country Heat Weekly podcast and courtesy of Amazon Music. Broadcasting live on the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, the festivities will kick off on Tuesday, May 14 at 9 p.m. ET with “Live from the ACM Awards: ACM New Artist Winners Celebration from Tostitos Championship Plaza at The Star,” which will include the presentation of the awards for ACM new male artist, new female artist, and new duo or group of the year.

Controversy over winners and losers has been part of the Grammy experience since the very first presentations, which took place on May 4, 1959 — 65 years ago today. The biggest controversy that year had to do with a disappointing showing by Frank Sinatra, who was coming off one of the biggest years of his long career. He had two No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 in 1958 — Come Fly with Me and Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely.

Sinatra was the year’s top Grammy nominee, with six nods, including two for album of the year (the aforementioned albums) and two for best vocal performance, male (Come Fly with Me and “Witchcraft”). The star wound up winning just one award — and it wasn’t even for his singing. He took best album cover for his art direction of Only the Lonely.
Sinatra attended the event, which was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. — now best known for hosting the Golden Globes every year. (There was a simultaneous event in New York City for East Coast denizens.) Other attendees at the Beverly Hilton included Sinatra’s fellow Rat Pack members Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin, as well as fellow nominees Henry Mancini and Peggy Lee. Comedian Mort Sahl served as MC.
Sinatra’s two nods for album of the year no doubt worked against him in that category. (The rules have since been changed so an artist can only have one nomination as a lead artist in most categories.) The award went to Mancini for The Music from Peter Gunn. The album featured music from a weekly TV detective series that debuted in September 1958 and ran for three seasons. (Mancini’s album was released after the Dec. 31, 1958 eligibility cut-off for the 1958 awards. It’s a mystery how it was nominated in the first place. It was probably just a goof that slipped by the small staff at the fledgling Recording Academy. The many tools that people use today to quickly check facts didn’t exist back then, an era of rotary phones and 3 x 5 cards.)
In addition to album of the year, Mancini won best arrangement for that same album. Mancini went on to win 20 Grammys, which was, for many years, the most won by any artist. (That title is currently held by Beyoncé with 33 awards.)
Perry Como‘s silky “Catch a Falling Star” won best vocal performance, male, beating the two Sinatra entries. “Witchcraft” and “Catch a Falling Star” were both nominated for record of the year, but lost to Domenico Modugno‘s lounge music staple “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare).”
In addition to record of the year, Modugno took song of the year for “Volare,” which is, to this day, the only foreign-language song to win record or song of the year. “Volare” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks in 1958, though Modugno landed just one more Hot 100 entry, a song that peaked at No. 97.
There were just 28 categories at the first Grammys, the lowest number ever. There were five double winners — Mancini, Modugno, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and Ross Bagdasarian Sr., the creator of The Chipmunks.
Fitzgerald won two awards for different installments of her celebrated Song Book series, a fitting tribute to this versatile singer. Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book won best vocal performance, female. Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book took best jazz performance, individual.
Count Basie won awards in different genres for the same album (something that couldn’t happen today). He took best performance by a dance band and best jazz performance, group, both for Basie.
Bagdasarian won best comedy performance and best recording for children, both for “The Chipmunk Song,” which was a No. 1 hit on the Hot 100. The smash was also nominated for record of the year. It is, to this day, the only children’s or comedy recording to be nominated in that category.
The Grammys were the last of the four EGOT-level awards shows to get underway, arriving a little more than a decade after the third of the four, the Emmys, rolled out. The first Oscars were presented on May 16, 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The first Tony Awards were presented on April 6, 1947 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. The first Primetime Emmys were presented on Jan. 25, 1949 at the Hollywood Athletic Club.
The first Grammys were a black-tie affair. “The Grammy Awards were a formal event from the beginning and very much in keeping with the times,” Christine Farnon, who was instrumental in organizing the first show, was quoted as saying in the 2007 coffee table book, And the Grammy Goes To… The Official Story of Music’s Most Coveted Award, written by David Wild. “As I recall, no one objected to dressing black-tie back then, though like so much else, that would change eventually.” Farnon went on to be the academy’s executive vice president. She ran the academy for 35 years until her retirement in 1992 — an undersung pioneer for powerful women in the music industry.
Sinatra didn’t let his disappointing showing at the 1st annual Grammy Awards keep him down for long. He landed three more nominations the following year, and this time won album of the year for Come Dance with Me! He would win that award two more times, for September of My Years (1966) and A Man and His Music (1967). This made him the first two-time winner and also the first three-time winner. On Feb. 4, 2024, Taylor Swift became the first four-time winner.

Stevie Wonder and Misty Copeland will receive the George Peabody Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Music and Dance in America, the highest honor bestowed by the Peabody Institute. In addition, Wonder and Copeland will deliver addresses for the Peabody Conservatory’s 2024 graduation ceremonies on Wednesday, May 22.
Copeland, the first dancer to receive the George Peabody Medal, will address undergraduates at the morning ceremony; Wonder will speak at the afternoon ceremony for graduate students. The following day, Johns Hopkins University will present an honorary doctorate to Wonder at its universitywide commencement ceremony.
Other recent Peabody winners include Herbie Hancock, Renée Fleming, Tori Amos, Leon Fleisher, Yo-Yo Ma and Jessye Norman.

Wonder is a 25-time Grammy winner. He won album of the year with three consecutive studio albums in the 1970s, a feat that has yet to be duplicated. In 1999, he received the Kennedy Center Honors.
“Stevie Wonder and Misty Copeland have dedicated their lives to making art and to lifting up others through music and dance, inspiring audiences and setting powerful examples for generations of younger performers,” Peabody dean Fred Bronstein said in a statement.
“By any measure, Stevie Wonder has been one of the most influential artists of his time, a remarkable artistic personality born of Motown but destined to exceed what even that juggernaut has meant to the world of music,” Bronstein added. “At the same time, he has been a leading voice in important social and civic causes, connecting his art with social justice to create a legacy of activism closely intertwined with his truly outsized impact in music.”
“Misty Copeland has broken new ground throughout her career, as the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre,” Bronstein said. “By excelling as a Black woman in ballet, she has led change in the art form, and inspired countless younger dancers, performers, athletes, and audience members — in the process, elevating the power and relevance of dance as a medium for expression.”
This year marks the Peabody Conservatory’s 142nd graduation exercises. The undergraduate ceremony is set to begin at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 22, with a second ceremony for graduate degrees to follow at 2 p.m. Both ceremonies will take place in Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall on the Peabody Institute’s Baltimore campus, and will be available to view via livestream. In-person attendance is ticketed and reserved for graduates and their families and guests. Additional details are available at the Peabody Institute’s website.
Composer Huang Ruo and composer, saxophonist, and flautist Anna Webber are among 10 2024 recipients of the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts (HAAIA).
The awards were founded and conceived by legendary musician Herb Alpert and his wife, Grammy-winning vocalist Lani Hall. They are presented annually to 10 “risk-taking, mid-career artists” working in the fields of dance, film/video, music, theater and visual arts.
Now in its 30th year, the HAAIA has to date been awarded to 174 artists. Each award consists of an unrestricted $75,000 cash prize and residency at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts), which has administered the prize on behalf of the Herb Alpert Foundation since 1994.
This year’s winners will be announced at a virtual event on Thursday May 2 at 2:00 p.m. PT.
This year’s eight other honorees are choreographers Jonathan González and Mariana Valencia; filmmaker Nuotama Bodomo and filmmaker and artist Lucy Raven; theater artist Robin Frohardt and interdisciplinary artist Cannupa Hanska Luger; and visual artists Marina Rosenfeld and Marie Watt.

Among past HAAIA winners: Carrie Mae Weems, Taylor Mac, Suzan-Lori Parks, Julia Wolfe, Michelle Dorrance, Tania Bruguera, Kerry James Marshall, Lisa Kron, Sharon Lockhart, Ralph Lemon, Arthur Jafa, Cai Guo-Qiang, Okwui Okpokwasili and Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah.
Alpert and Hall created the Herb Alpert Foundation in 1985. It has reportedly given away more than $200 million dollars, making Alpert one of America’s most important and loyal advocates for the arts and arts education.
“The generosity of Herb and Lani is legendary, and their work supporting artists to take risks, through The Alpert Awards, has propelled artmaking in this country for decades, ” CalArts president Ravi Rajan said in a statement. “The list of past honorees is testament to how the award gives artists the space and time to create work that transforms the world.”
In addition to being a philanthropist, Alpert is a musician, record producer, former label executive, sculptor and painter.
Alpert and the Tijuana Brass were one of the hottest acts of the 1960s, with five No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. Their 1965 smash “A Taste of Honey” won a Grammy for record of the year. As a soloist, Alpert has topped the Billboard Hot 100 with both vocal and instrumental hits – “This Guy’s in Love With You” (1968) and “Rise” (1979), respectively. He’s the only solo artist who has achieved that feat.
With his late partner Jerry Moss, Alpert co-founded A&M Records in 1962, turning it into one of the most successful independent record labels in history. The label was home to Sergio Mendes & the Brasil 66, Carpenters, Joe Cocker, Supertramp, The Police, Janet Jackson and dozens more successful acts. Here’s a list of A&M’s 50 biggest hits on the Hot 100 in the years it was owned by Alpert and Moss.
Alpert and Moss received a trustees award from the Recording Academy in 1997. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. In 2012 Alpert was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Obama.

Furze collected the top honor at the third annual AAM Awards, following a stretch during which the Teskeys could do no wrong.
The Teskeys, Josh and Sam, hail from Warrandyte, Victoria, and had the touring world at their feet, selling 15,000 tickets in London, 12,000 tickets in Amsterdam, and 6,000 tickets in Los Angeles; their third studio album The Winding Way opened at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart; and the band won ARIA and Rolling Stone Awards. Just hours after the AAM Awards wrapped, another piece of silverware for the Teskeys, as they nabbed songwriters of the year at the 2024 APRA Music Awards.
Furze, founder of Applejack Music, is “an engaged member of the artist management community, recognizing the importance of mentorship and shared knowledge,” reads a statement from the Association of Artist Managers, the trade body that produces the annual awards. “He has mentored under the Co-Pilot program for the past two years and frequently opens his door to independent artists and managers for informal support and career consultation.”
Trending on Billboard
As festivals fall over, venues close and Australian artists struggle to impact the national sales charts, Furze told his peers from the stage, “We’re in a pretty deep crisis. It’s going to be up to all the people around this room to keep us on track in the next few years, and we need support ourselves…we’ve got to do it for each other.”
Other winners at the AAM Awards included Megan Rasmussen and Harry White (Future Classic) for breakthrough manager of the year; Kerry Kennell, chief of Kennell & Co, for community engagement award; Our Golden Friend’s Lorrae McKenna for the patron’s gift – an initiative of the late Michael McMartin; and Hayley-Jane Ayres, 360 Artist Logistics, who was the recipient of the APRA AMCOS Lighthouse Award, which includes a A$5,000 cash prize to support her business and professional pursuits.
As previously announced, Tame Impala manager Jodie Regan, founder of Spinning Top Music, scooped the Legacy Award. Presenting the award, Damien Trotter, managing director of Sony Music Publishing Australia, remarked that Regan, who is based in the remote Western Australia capital, Perth, led with “loyalty, trust and integrity,” and got about her work “without a hint of arrogance.”
AAM executive director Maggie Collins delivered the quote of the day when she told the house that AI “will never replace artist managers, because even robots wouldn’t want to do our job.” Collins also unveiled a touring initiative, “Michael’s Rule,” named after McMartin, that the management community hopes will give homegrown artists a much-needed lift.
Guest speakers at a packed Sydney Crowbar included John Graham special minister of state, minister for roads, minister for arts minister for music and the night-time economy, and minister for jobs and tourism; and performers included Folk Bitch Trio and Miss Kaninna.
The AAM represents over 300 active managers, who in turn represent over 1,000 artists in contemporary music.

Troye Sivan scooped song of the year at the 2024 APRA Music Awards, held Wednesday, May 1 at ICC Sydney.
The Australian pop artist nabbed the peer-voted category, the top honor at the APRAs, for “Rush,” co-written with Styalz Fuego, and lifted from Sivan’s third studio album Something to Give Each Other, which bowed at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart in October 2023.
Fuego was on hand to receive the ring-shaped award, the final presented on the night.

“As a creative when I work with an artist that I’m already a fan of, I think like ‘don’t f— this us.’ It’s always like, I imagine this song could ruin their career,” he remarked. “I’m so happy that with Troye we did something that people ended up loving.”

Sivan has been in sparkling form at awards ceremonies, dominating the 2023 ARIAs with four wins, and landing a Grammy nomination with “Rush” (best pop dance recording). Sivan (2017) and Fuego (2013) are both former recipients of the APRA breakthrough songwriter of the year category.
Meanwhile, blues act The Teskey Brothers snagged songwriter of the year, following the release of their ARIA No. 1 album The Winding Way, adding to a collection that includes ARIA Awards and a Rolling Stone Australia Award, won earlier this year for best record. The coveted prize is decided by the APRA board of writer and publisher directors.
Singer and songwriter Dean Lewis doubled up with APRAs for “How Do I Say Goodbye,” a tear-jerker that captures his shock after learning of his dad’s cancer diagnosis. “Goodbye” won for most performed Australian work and most performed pop work, lifting his all-time APRAs tally to six. During his taped acceptance speeches, Lewis gave a shoutout to the “great Mike Taylor,” the former chief of Island Records Australia who died in January following a battle with cancer, aged 54. “Goodbye” was the last song they worked on together, Lewis explained.
Other winners at the APRAs included grentperez, the inaugural recipient of the emerging songwriter of the year award; Parkway Drive for the inaugural most performed hard rock/heavy metal work category; ONEFOUR for most performed hip hop / rap work; Sia, landing most performed Australian work overseas for the fifth time; and Taylor Swift for international work of the year.
One of the highlights of the night was the presentation of the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music to Bart Willoughby, singer, songwriter and drummer with pioneering Indigenous rock band No Fixed Address. Long-time friends Stephen Pigram and Don Walker of Cold Chisel did the honors.
The 2024 edition of the APRAs “was a memorable night where we honored several first-time winners as well as established national treasures, including the extraordinary Bart Willoughby,” comments APRA AMCOS CEO Dean Ormston.
“In recognizing the incredible talent in Australia’s music landscape, it’s important to acknowledge that as an organisation that champions gender diversity through advocacy, funding and creative opportunities, there’s more to do to address the disparity in the industry of male to women, non-binary and gender diverse award winners.” He continues, “We must continually question the absence of diversity in every facet of the industry—whether in rooms, executive offices, on stages, or across airwaves and streaming platforms—and commit to amplifying the entirety of Australia’s musical brilliance.”
Established in 1982, the Australasian Performing Right Association’s annual songwriters’ ceremony is one of the Australian music industry’s most treasured events, a worthy counterpart to Britain’s Ivor Novello Awards.
