Country music icons will gather in Nashville to honor Anne Murray’s iconic music at a special event on Monday night. The 80-year-old music legend from the East Coast will be present at “The Music of My Life: An All-Star Tribute to Anne Murray” at the Opry House. The event will bring together the renowned “Snowbird” singer with her close friends and long-standing connections in the country music industry.
The lineup of performers includes k.d. lang and Martina McBride, who collaborated with Murray on her duets album in 2007, along with Trisha Yearwood and Natalie Grant. The event will feature presenters such as Randy Travis and Brenda Lee, who honored Murray’s song “A Little Good News” with the single of the year award at the 1984 Country Music Association Awards.
The tribute to Murray will take place at the historic Opry House, known for hosting the Grand Ole Opry show. Despite the venue’s significance, Murray’s record label representatives confirmed that there are no plans for a future broadcast of the celebration, emphasizing that it will be a live show experience.
Anne Murray, a four-time Grammy winner and the most awarded Juno recipient with 24 wins and two career achievement awards, is often recognized for her contributions to mainstream country music in the 1970s alongside artists like Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell. Her repertoire includes hits like “Danny’s Song,” “A Love Song,” and “You Needed Me,” leading to successful ventures in children’s music and a bestselling Christmas album in 1983.
Recently, Murray released her 33rd album titled “Here You Are,” featuring a collection of previously unreleased tracks. Discovered by a dedicated fan in an archive, the unfinished songs were polished by her record label for public enjoyment. Earlier this year, she was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Juno Awards, adding to her induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1993.
