The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music is pleased to announce the premiere screening of the 2025 American Music Honors event. The screening of this very special evening honoring American Music icons John Fogerty, Tom Morello, Smokey Robinson, Emmylou Harris, and Joe Ely will be held on Thursday, November 13th, at 7:30 p.m. at the intimate Pollak Theatre, where the sold-out awards event was held on April 26, 2025.
Each of the 2025 honorees, accompanied by the Marc Ribler & the Disciples of Soul band, contributed awe-inspiring performances that completely blew the audience away. Hosted by Brian Williams, the evening was filled with eloquent and thoughtful remarks by honorees and their presenters: Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, Stevie Van Zandt, and Nils Lofgren. The evening concluded with the audience on their feet while honorees and presenters shared the stage and jammed to such hits as “Going to a Go-Go”, “Boulder to Birmingham”, “Fortunate Son”, “The Ghost of Tom Joad”, Proud Mary”, and culminating in a jam-packed stage performance of “This Land is Your Land”.
Tickets for the film screening are $20 and will go on sale on Tuesday, October 21st at 1 p.m.
