From his first album in 1974 to 2014’s Terms of My Surrender Hiatt has set the gold standard for a being not only a songwriter’s songwriter, but a powerful performing artist who defies easy categorization.

He earned a Grammy nomination for Crossing Muddy Waters, while B.B. King and Eric Clapton shared a Grammy for their album Riding With The King, the title track from which was a Hiatt composition. Hiatt has received his own star on Nashville’s Walk of Fame, the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting, has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and was saluted at the Indiana Governor’s Arts Awards.
