Original Jason and the Scorchers members <strong>Jason Ringenberg<\/strong>, <strong>Warner Hodges<\/strong>, <strong>Jeff Johnson<\/strong> and <strong>Perry Baggs<\/strong> will be on hand to accept the honor and perform.<\/p>\n<p>Those watching NPT during the day will be familiar with Ringenberg&#8217;s extremely popular alter ego, <strong>Farmer Jason<\/strong>, who has several interstitial videos in rotation on NPT.<\/p>\n<p><em>From the release: <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jason and the Nashville Scorchers, as they were originally called, were messiahs for a 1980\u2019s American rock scene suffering from a slight inferiority complex and aching for pride and grit. Together, frontman Jason Ringenberg, guitarist Warner Hodges, bassist Jeff Johnson and drummer Perry Baggs, personified roots music experimentation, boasting an unparalleled respect for and familiarity with honky tonk, while wielding innate punk savvy. It wasn\u2019t just how they said it: What they were saying also resonated. Ringenberg\u2019s songwriting often drew heady thematic comparisons to Southern Gothic literary giants like Flannery O\u2019Conner or William Faulkner, and Hodges\u2019 influential guitar work roared in response as the punk-rock backbone of their euphoric sound\u2019s dual-personality.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s spirited interpretations of traditional country classics by journeymen including Hank Williams were uninhibited celebrations of hillbilly soul. Their arguably unprecedented mix\u2019s live translation is now legendary: The Scorchers infused the soul of Gram Parsons with the fury of the New York Dolls, shepherded by a lead vocalist who channeled both Faron Young and Iggy Pop. National and subsequent international acclaim arrived on the heels of major label albums and on the strength of live shows, released in conjunction with and steadily guided by early indie hometown believers Praxis. Instead of shying away from their southern roots, Jason and the Scorchers owned them, and quite simply, they made Nashville proud.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s often said that art\u2019s impact is most accurately gauged looking backward, after the silt settles to the bottom and some sort of clear context emerges. Jason and the Scorchers\u2019 profound effect on the international music scene and more specifically, what Nashville rock bands felt they could accomplish, was historic, with ramifications still blissfully felt today.<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by <strong>Jim Lauderdale<\/strong> and featuring a band led by <strong>Buddy Miller<\/strong>, the Honors &amp; Awards ceremony will also toast winners in six member-voted categories: Album, Artist, Instrumentalist, New and Emerging Artist, Song and Duo\/Group of the Year. The AMA will also recognize iconic troubadour <strong>John Hiatt<\/strong> with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was announced yesterday that Jason &amp; The Scorchers will receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement in Performance Award at the annual Americana Honors and Awards show Thursday, September&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[181,109],"tags":[226,512,656],"class_list":["post-413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","category-nashville","tag-american-music-association","tag-farmer-jason","tag-jason-and-the-scorchers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
