John Oates Is Getting the BMI Troubadour Treatment
John Oates will receive the BMI Troubadour honor for 2024 and be celebrated during an AmericanaFest week event in Nashville.
He saw the dissolution of his longtime creative partnership with Daryl Hall, watched himself work through the emotions of that breakup in the press, and released the cathartic new album Reunion, his most introspective solo project yet. Now, Oates, a fixture of the Nashville music scene since he took up residence in the city in 2010, follows in the footsteps of names like John Prine and Lucinda Williams when he receives the BMI Troubadour Award this year. The annual award is presented to a songwriter who, according to a release, “has made a profound impact on the creative community as their craft continues to set the pace for generations to follow.” Oates and his music will be celebrated on Sept. 16 at a private ceremony at the Nashville offices of the performing-rights organization.
