John Fogerty and Smokey Robinson will be honored at the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music’s third annual American Music Honors.
This year’s other honorees include Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, Emmylou Harris and Joe Ely, with Springsteen and E Street Band members Steven Van Zandt, Patti Scialfa and Nils Lofgren confirmed as presenters.
The awards are handed out each year to artists “who have demonstrated artistic excellence, creative integrity, and a longstanding commitment to the value of music in our national consciousness.”
The third annual American Music Honors will take place April 26 at the Pollak Theatre at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, the home of the Bruce Springsteen Archives.
Van Zandt’s band Disciples of Soul will act as house band for the night, with Brian Williams hosting the evening.
The American Music Honors launched in 2023, with Van Zandt, Darlene Love, Sam & Dave‘s Sam Moore and Steve Earle honored. Last year’s honorees included John Mellencamp, Jackson Browne, Dion DiMucci and Mavis Staples.
The event is open to the public, with tickets going on sale March 25.
