SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME ROLLS OUT THE RED CARPET

Nile Rodgers, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Trey Anastasio and Paul Williams will be among the performers and/or presenters at the 53rd Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards dinner, taking place 6/18 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in NYC.

This year's inductees include Hillary Lindsey, Timbaland, Dean Pitchford, R.E.M. and Steely Dan. SZA will receive the Hal David Starlight Award, while Diane Warren will be honored with the Johnny Mercer Award.

Tickets for the Songwriters Hall of Fame event begin at $2k each, which means we can't afford it (much to their relief). Tickets are available through Buckley Hall Events here. Net proceeds will go toward Songwriters Hall of Fame programs.
