The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) announced Folk artist and pioneer Joni Mitchell will receive the prestigious Les Paul Innovation Award at the 35th Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity Awards (NAMM TEC Awards). Born Roberta Joan Anderson, her career spans several decades winning 9 GRAMMY Awards, 3 Juno Awards, an ASCAP Pop Award, and was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. She has recorded 19 Studio albums which produced dozens of hit singles, with Rolling Stone calling her, “one of the greatest songwriters ever.”
The award is given on behalf of the Les Paul Foundation to honor individuals that have set the highest standards of excellence in creative application of artistry in the spirit of the famed audio pioneer, inventor and musician, Les Paul. Past recipients have included Peter Frampton, Jackson Browne, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Todd Rundgren, Pete Townshend, and others.
The NAMM Foundation is proud to present this year’s awards for Technical Excellence & Creativity at The NAMM Show in Anaheim, California on Saturday January 18 in the Hilton Pacific Ballroom.
This global gathering of music, pro sound and entertainment technology professionals celebrates the spirit of innovation, and honors the technical innovations used in sound recordings, films, broadcast television and video games across 31 categories.
The evening will be marked with two lifetime achievement honorees, the TEC Hall of Fame and Les Paul Award, recognizing legends for their contributions to music and recording. Celebrity appearances are to be expected among the audience and on stage.
Reserve an entire table for your party or purchase individual tickets. Either way, this is an industry celebration that you don’t want to miss! Please Note: Your purchase of a TEC Awards ticket does not include admission to The NAMM Show.
