Anne Murray Honoured with All-Star Tribute in Nashville
Canadian music icon Anne Murray — the beloved “Snowbird” singer and four-time Grammy winner — is being celebrated by some of country music’s biggest names at a star-studded tribute concert in Nashville on Monday night.
Titled “The Music of My Life: An All-Star Tribute to Anne Murray,” the event takes place at the historic Grand Ole Opry House, where the 80-year-old East Coast legend will be in attendance.
Country stars unite to celebrate Murray’s legacy
The night will feature performances from k.d. lang, Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, and Natalie Grant — all longtime admirers of Murray’s trailblazing career.
Lang and McBride also shared the stage with Murray on her 2007 duets album, which revisited some of her most timeless hits.
Presenters for the evening include Randy Travis and Brenda Lee, who famously awarded Murray’s classic A Little Good News the CMA Single of the Year in 1984.
“This will be a live show in the moment,” Murray’s record label confirmed, noting that there are no current plans to broadcast or stream the concert.
A voice that bridged pop and country
Anne Murray is widely regarded as one of the artists who helped bring country-pop crossover appeal into the mainstream. Alongside stars like Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell, she introduced millions to a smoother, heartfelt sound through timeless songs such as Danny’s Song, A Love Song, and You Needed Me.
Her achievements include:
24 Juno Awards and two career achievement trophies
Four Grammy Awards
Induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (1993)
A 2024 Juno Lifetime Achievement Award
Still making music at 80
Earlier this year, Murray released her 33rd album, “Here You Are,” featuring a collection of previously unreleased tracks discovered by a fan in archival recordings. The album has been described by critics as a nostalgic yet fresh look at the singer’s enduring artistry.
While Murray has long stepped back from touring, her influence continues to shape generations of country and pop musicians.
“She’s the voice that brought Canada to Nashville,” one industry insider said. “And Nashville never forgot her.”
