Smokey Robinson and John Fogerty to be celebrated at American Music Honors

Smokey Robinson and John Fogerty are among the artists to be feted at the 2025 American Music Honors.

On Tuesday, officials from the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music announced that the Cruisin' hitmaker and the Creedence Clearwater Revival co-founder will be celebrated at the upcoming event.

In addition, legendary singer-songwriter Emmylou Harris, guitarist and rock musician Tom Morello, and progressive country music pioneer Joe Ely will be honoured during the ceremony.

"This year's honourees represent a cross-section of American music," said Robert Santelli, founding executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. "Rock, Americana, soul, and country are all represented by some of the most important artists from each of the genres. We are most excited to honour them and welcome them into the American Music Center family."

The third annual American Music Honors will take place on the campus of Monmouth University in New Jersey on 26 April.

Bruce and his wife Patti Scialfa will serve as presenters, as will Steven Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren.

Tickets will go on sale on 25 March.

The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music is the official repository for the musical legacy of the Born to Run icon, while the Center for American Music produces museum exhibitions, seminars, concerts, and other public and educational programmes that "explore and celebrate the nation's rich music tradition".
