http://www.ascap.com/countryawards17 On November 6, country’s brightest lights lit up the Ryman Auditorium at our 55th Annual ASCAP Country Music Awards in Nashville. The event brought out a who’s who of country hitmakers and luminaries.

Americana and country pioneer Rodney Crowell was honored with performances of three of his classic country songs by Keith Urban and Vince Gill before receiving the ASCAP Founders Award. Ashley Gorley was crowned ASCAP Country Music Songwriter of the Year for an unprecedented fifth time for his nine award-winning songs. Kelsea Ballerini earned the ASCAP Vanguard Award and treated the crowd to "In Between" from her brand new album, Unapologetically.

We gave Songwriter-Artist of the Year to Matthew Ramsey, for the two songs he recorded with his band Old Dominion (“Snapback” and “Song for Another Time”) and his hit for Sam Hunt, “Make You Miss Me.” And Song of the Year went to "Somewhere on a Beach" - which Dierks Bentley performed live along with its songwriters Dave Kuncio and Josh Mirenda. We honored Warner/Chappell Music Publishing with the ASCAP Publisher of the Year Award, and concert promoter Varnell Enterprises was honored with the ASCAP Partners in Music Award.
