George Strait is set to be honored at this year’s Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony. Strait will be given the Career Maker Award, which recognizes those outside the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame membership, whose artistic work has helped songwriters earn their dreams of induction into the hall’s coveted membership. The only other recipient has been Reba McEntire. Strait responded to the announcement saying “I look forward to being there with some of the most talented hall of fame songwriters I’ve been so lucky to be associated with throughout my career. You folks definitely make the world a better place through your amazing abilities as songwriters and artists. See you there.” The ceremony takes place on October 26 in Nashville.
