The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced its class of 2021: Rhett Akins and Buddy Cannon in the songwriter category; John Scott Sherrill in the veteran songwriter category; Toby Keith in the songwriter/artist category ;and Amy Grant in the veteran songwriter/artist category. The five will be inducted Nov. 1 at the Music City Center in Nashville. Because the organization’s 50th-anniversary celebration was postponed last year due to COVID-19, this year’s event will honor two classes in a special, supersize event, dubbed the “50/51 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala.” This year’s honorees will share the spotlight with the class of 2020: Steve Earle, Bobbie Gentry, Kent Blazy, Brett James and Spooner Oldham.
