From August to November of 2014, more than a dozen songs from songwriters who belong to the Nashville Songwriters Association charted at number one. On February 4, the NSAI honored the songwriters for these songs as well as commemorating Liz and Casey Anderson, two of the association’s founders, with the Stephen Foster Award for their generous support, dedication and contributions to songwriters from Nashville and beyond.
